Purpose
People speak of wanting
Purpose to fill their time
Frame of mind
Purpose as written
Within the lines
Of a dictionary means
An act with an intention
Or determination
Another word, purposeful,
means to be meaningful
To move toward one’s goal
God, before all time or even
Before we were created,
Set for us a goal
Determined by just himself
If all truth be told
A relational God set
The goal
For us & Him
An intimacy so close
Relationship with Him
We were meant to be
His friend
What more could a man
Ask
For a purpose
Than to be given
The task
Of being our great
God’s friend!
Yet Created to follow,
Will take you as you are
Dare I say, to be a part
of his entourage,
Holiness, set apart
Remembering the precepts of
His great Heart
So, follow your Living God
Even if the whole world
upon you trods
Fulfill your purpose
Of which a Holy book tells
& follow the path of Christ
Even if it leads thru hell.
Orange Tresses
Orange tresses in the air
I cannot help but
Stop and stare
God’s pure glory on
Display
Lightens my load
And brightens my day!
I couldn’t help but take this photo of our neighbor’s beautiful maple tree. We still have a few trees full of colored leaves. Praise God for the beauty He creates!
Night’s Dreams
I’ve got to go to bed
I’ve got to go to bed
In the darkness
I know I’m clearer
It feels the best time
I can get into my head,
undisturbed
Dreams cannot come
into the busy dayness
of a hurried world
This night time’s
Darkness is when
You chose to drop
Your wisest pearls
And so I write
In this middle of the night
(I do not know why)
Seems to bring forth,
Induce,
Out of dark obscurity
Your heaven’s brightest lights
Exhausted I fall back
I am so very tired
Yet feeling grateful
To dream,
Have my soul
Thus inspired
Beneath your loving hand!

A chilling murder mystery set within the eclectic atmosphere of Nashville, Music City USA. FREE EBOOK Saturday, November 21 ONLY! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DWB7F39
Heaven on one side, hell on the other with man caught up in the middle. Which side will he choose? One victim, a college student dead on a steamy August afternoon on a sidewalk from the highly contagious Ebola virus. The second, a beloved young priest lying dead on the cold, hard asphalt in front of the cathedral where he served after a plunge from the tip of its roof.
Dedicated homicide detective Hayden Douglan struggles against time to stop the spread of the virus as evidence confirms both men were murdered. Both victims’ destinies seem to be linked only by their mutual interest and belief in a mysterious, ancient document from the Middle East. Faith and courage will be tested as information leads to corruption in the highest levels of the religious community and the police department itself then finally to a powerful mystic cloistered behind the walls of a beautiful monastery near Vienna, Austria.
Inspiration
Mad scribblings that
Light up the night
Darkness surrounds
The moving glow of
My fingers
Where you Spirit
Stops to linger
Over my empty page
Oh, wisest, dearest sage
Come once again
Pause precious friend
On your busy ways
And do not shun
To leave again
Your priceless Inspiration!
