So once again we find ourselves surrounded by cheap dying flowers, over-sweetened chocolates and rose scented candles on this; the most romantic day of the year. Unless you’re me, in which case you’ll find yourself surrounded by stacks of unread books, two weeks worth of laundry and a less than enthusiastic about the holidays Jack … Continue reading The Translator

Catches Your Eye

Midnight in a Prison Cell (Original Poem)
Such a great poem about God’s mercy and His purpose!!
Midnight in a prison cell–
What would you expect to see?
Chained men, lying in the dirt
Another night of empty dreams
What would you hear? A leaky pipe,
A whisper, and a stifled cry
But then, a sound cuts through the dark–
A song of praise begins to rise
A hymn of love to God is sung
By men awaiting death at dawn
Their voices, filled with hope and cheer,
Enthrall the men–but somewhere near
A jailer slept, who happened to be
The prisoner God planned to set free.
(Based on Acts 16:25-34)

I thank you for joining me here, for your attention, and for your time. I’m sorry, because I disappoint in … Continue reading An Open Letter to the Elect in Christ
