The flicker of a star
The flicker of the moon
The flicker of the moments
That I spend with You
Hanging in my head
Like a fog on the morning
Your hand coming down
Grace without warning
Greatness indescribable
Love undeniable
Attributes indefinable
Yet so perfectly attainable

My overflow from 7:22 last night.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly . . .” Colossians 3:16
The reason I keep drifting . . . the reason I keep struggling for any type of consistency is because I fill my mind with things other than You. Instead of Your words and Your heart living [...]

The world is never as it seems
Or as it should be.
Only as we wish it were.
So we read and dream
Through our eyes,
Through our lives.
But behind the matrix
The world continues to spin
As it is.

The novelty of new life felt.
In the midst of somber grey clouds,
The morning finds me well and wakes me crisp.
Dampen the day with Creation’s tears.
Unfurl Your foggy blanket over us,
Though the absence of the sun is not dismal to me.
The stillness hovers heavy in the room.
Feeling the calmness as the silence breathes along,
With whispers and [...]

At the beginning of the year I worked out some of what I consider to be my core values. I came up with a few but didn’t really develop them. Over the last couple of weeks I finally summarized and put some handles on what I want to be values that shape my life. Here [...]

My overflow from 7:22 last night.
Brushed by the sacred
Following It’s lead
All at once foreign and familiar
Both chasing and being followed
On the tracks of your heels
As you are on mine
Under mine
And mine in Yours
Nervous excitement
Met with guarded apprehension
I will meet you tonight
Caught for a flickering moment
Like a butterfly in hand
Who has to
Who has to return to [...]

From Relevant Magazine. So true. So true.
It can hit at any time. Usually the times when you’re most confident that it won’t, it’s then that it does. It’s that same reoccurring sin you are just so powerless against.
The depression sets in, teary eyes stare at the ground, shivers run up your spine, and you feel [...]

I was reading Pablo Neruda last night and I wrote this. Its not towards anything specific, but it just came as I was reading and writing.
And now your eyes have only to quickly followed your heart
They were my last true hope
But now they have staked their claim in a dream that is all reality and [...]

Meditations on Psalm 77
More than a man
Less than a God
Is who I am
A life lived rightly today
Gone with tomorrow’s wind
Satisfied and whole
Hollowed and alone
A journey through the cracks
And into the deeps
Of despair
Of assurance
Trusting only me
Trusting everyone but me
While I tune out truth
Hardening my heart
Until I’m blind and void
A ship without a course
A sail without wind
