Leave the romance to the angels,
who look on us in wonder.
But father, I'm an earnest wanna-be,
set my being on fire!

I dabble.
Half in,
Half out.
Can't make a decision.
Won't give my all.
Lukewarm at best.
Irritated with myself.
I want my soul to be on fire.
Want you to be all I desire.
Would you leave 99 to go after
this only sheep, please, no laughter.
I'm an earnest wanna-be.

Start writing
the words will follow

Start asking
the answers will come

Start loving
let it change your heart

Fill the page. Fill the blanks. Love inconveniently.


Just start.

I want to be in the light,
not shoving my haunting secrets
of a wretched past life
into dim corners.
The light is painful,
as my pupils adjust,
but it is warm and real and bright.
I may be ****,
but I'm unashamed.
For grace is not
standing under a spotlight,
but reflecting the Sun.
Reflecting the Son,
the forgiving, unconditional One.

What will it take
Reaching out with
Supple touch
Such soft things
will suffer well

All good things
wait in hiding
with the Cresent
moon behind barren
tree branches
on the Other Side
of the night sky

All bad things
Cancel, Cancel
replaced with
Joyous Ease
Abundance
and Wonder
for All and
Everyone

Now I feel better
her Majesty
has come
The hum of the cold
still night strum
me into morning~
The hum of the cold still night strum me into morning~

I’ve been given a book, a Book of Instruction,
A book of what’s right and what’s wrong.
But when I am nudged towards this path of perfection,
I turn the other direction.

If I were not told of the wrong thing to do,
I would never think to even do it.
But because of my sin and my enmity of the true,
My promises to do right, simply fall through.

This book gave the path to life,
But all my sin saw was a chance.
A chance to bring death like a cutting knife,
To make me live through the strife.

Sin go away!
Leave me be!
No matter how much I wish to follow whatever the LORD may say,
You’re right there, to keep my decisions at bay.


I leave Sunday morning on fire for the LORD,
But the week goes on,
And not once have I gone and explored,
The opportunities the LORD for me has stored.

It is not who I who act, but the sin that lives within me.
But when does that sin become who I am?
When does my selfish ambition become not an entity,
But a part of the person I am to be?

What a wretched man I remain,
Only lukewarm: saying not acting, thinking not doing.
I want to act but the sin restrains.
Who can cleanse my countless stains?

Jesus,
Only Jesus

Thank you LORD Jesus, for loving me nonetheless,
For delivering me from death more times than I can comprehend.
Your Book of Instruction does not just judge and assess,
It is the Book of Life, made to bless.
A poem on Romans 7, one of my favorite chapters in the Bible.

Some days I feel Inspired
Other times just too tired

I wish I had the power to rid you of your pain. To take the insecurities and replace them with confidence.
I wish I had the power to make you see all the good . To rid you of the pain and suffering you feel the need to have.
I wish you would understand that this ominous feeling you are carrying now will soon seem so trivial.
I wish you knew all the things I know now.
I wish I didn't have to sit back and watch you make the same mistakes I did.
I wish my love for you was enough to carry you through.
I wish the reality that it isn't,
wasn't so.
oh how  i wish......
The pain only a parent can suffer as we watch our children grow

Every test in our life
makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become VICTIM or VICTOR!
Did not write this but thought it had merit
