I walk down white hallways, the ones so familiar now. These…..the exiting ones. Clinging to a thread….from eternity. They dangle on breaths. Finding life in respirators, and pills, and televisions that spill out glimpses of the world they once knew. These sterile walls….their home. A refuge….their middle earth…..between here and Heaven’s Song…. And I taste it […]
The box. It calls. Beckons…”Come rest in me. My straight walls. Sharp edges.” It hides… A people. Asking them to leave…. The freedom bought in Christ. To hide inside…it’s small, dark corners. Confined. While open skies beckon higher. Calling deeper…drawing closer to The Source. Fear resists the open. Like an infant….feeling…. Safer. With small. Shallow. Confining […]
I see him. Greeting time. Standing in the back of the church. Against the wall. Coffee. Small talk. People wondering….how long they must chat…..before sitting idol for service again.

In His presence. Sweetness. Still surrender. Quiet fullness. Refreshment. Waiting. God heart showing. Taking nothing. Wanting no one. But Him. In His presence…. He is enough. And all the world could wash away….. And I wouldn’t care. Worries. Pain. Trials. Tribulations. Fade to nothing when gripped by…. His love. And love washes deep. In the quiet. […]
