As Long As Birds Still Sing
We Still Have Hope When the guineas came through my yard, they sounded like they were laughing or holding some kind of conversation I wasn’t invited to be a part of. It’s fine. None of my business what they were going on about. Sky might’ve been falling or something. Who cares? It’s fallen before. At…
The Waiting
Waiting On God It’s so hard. It’s easy to think our only obligation is to ask God for something and just wait to see it happen. Or to see IF it happens. And in the event we don’t get what we ask for, we say, “I guess it just wasn’t in God’s plans.” God’s plans….
The Solitary Person

The Cold Hard Truth About Loving God
What it really looks like Loving God sounds easy, but don’t read this if you aren’t brave enough to face yourself. I always considered loving God from a selfish point of view. I love Him because of all He gives me, for blessing me with life, for sending Jesus to die for my sins. But…
Flies and Fishhooks
Photo by Stefan Cosma on Unsplash For some reason, the flies are unbearable this year, and I think it’s because the pipe running into the sewer has a leak, and human waste is trickling onto the ground in the backyard. I feel like a little kid from a third world country, swatting at flies that are too lazy…
