the beach

castles abandoned
flags blown away
pacifiers lost
in the shadows of sunset
birds glide
friends and couples stroll
waves fall unaltered by human bodies

the beach is almost empty now
and as the coolness of the breeze meets my skin
i can't help but thank God for the beauty of it all!

falling

I think, for the first time, I had the sudden sensation that my whole world might be falling apart…

What happens when the seams start to split,

When all that seemed full is transparent?

How does it happen so suddenly,

Where will all the pieces go?

Who will make it alright again?

God is the one who will make it right.

Jehovah will find the missing pieces.

My Elohim will bring the chaos to a halt.

Jehovah will set the path ahead.

Jesus will sew it according to His pattern.

My God is an awesome God and He will help me find the way!

winter 07

I know you are there.
I know what you've done.
You're a part of my life,
but I've made you so small.

So why don't I change?
Many tell me it's not wrong,
but by whose standard, dare I say?
You should be my guide.

My life is to simple, to easy, you see.
I lean every which way, but up.

Sunset over the city

I love driving into downtown after work. The sun setting behind me paints such a beautiful picture. Giving life to buildings that hide all day.
I can't recall the number of times I have wished that I could just stop in the middle of Jarvis Klapman and capture the skyline with my camera....

Vibrant colors reflected on silvered windows;

Golden highlites touch the edges of brick and mortar,

making buildings pop from the darkened sky.

And in my rearview mirror,

the true image of God's handiwork;

Which no manmade object could e'er imitate.
