On Fire
Burning cross
On a hill
Your voice
Rings out
To tell us still
Of a Savior’s heart
So full of passion
And fire
Never will Christ stop
Or ever tire
Of pouring His love
Upon this earth
To light His
Glorious fire
Within His church
So his family
May lead
Darkened hearts
To see
Their Savior
On a burning cross
Seeking to save
All & every of
The eternally lost.
Solitude
Solitude,
Oh, may I ever
Rue
The day I choose
To leave
You
But don’t worry
In my own time
I will decide
To rejoin
My own kind
In their world
Above
That land of man’s
Lights & sounds
But for now
I’ll be here
With only You
On this quieter ground
Above is a new book trailer I created for my debut novel, WHEN HEAVEN SIGHS. It plays on YouTube and its link is https://www.youtu.be/ybiRM3NFcz0. Click on the link to enjoy it on youtube. Have a blessed day & Praise God!!
I was able yesterday to get some fairly decent video footage of some great blue herons that are nesting near our house on the walking trail that goes right by a river. I think it’s amazing that these large magnificent birds would build nests in the middle of a city where they’re so close to people and the noise of traffic, but they did.
Normally, you see them standing alone and solitary at the edge of the creeks and river’s banks looking for small fish which is their primary food source. They are so large, and I did not know they built their nests at the top of very, very tall trees. The nests are large, two to three feet in diameter, and they are sitting on their eggs. I love to watch them take off and land on their nest. Their wing span looks to be about at least three feet wide, maybe more. They are a grey blue in color with an orange colored beak.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video and have a blessed day. Praise God!

Stumps of Glory
Stumps of Glory
On display
All of what you might say
Oh, what stories
& of history
You must have seen
Rising still proud
Among the leafy crowd
You stand out
Your voice still
Clear & loud
Of longevity,
Paternity
Firmly still there
Younger ones
May stare
But will not dare
To root you out
Your core essences
Still deep in a
Blackened soil
So, take pride
In this your life
I may pass & stare
As your beauty
Fills the blue airs
Above my head
To watch you
Once again declare
The eternal, ancient
Triumphs of
All Nature’s Glories!
I got a chance to get on our river's greenway this morning. Hope you enjoy the photos & poem. Have a blessed day & Praise God!
