I made a joke yesterday. You laughed as if you’d heard it for the first time. Didn’t you already know the punchline? God: Gets better every time I hear it… I ate lunch today and prayed before I ate. You seemed like you especially appreciated it. Don’t millions of people do that? God: You’re …
“Now, quick, quick with the eyedrops!!!āĀ I told myself.Ā I slunk back in my low back chair even further, pushing through the searing pain as I, with trembling hands, carefully pooled the drops into my watery eyes.Ā Ā āDone,ā I say, with moderate admiration (admiration for God of course, but donāt quote me on that). I sat back …
A Praise of Victory.Ā A Meditation of Gary in Times of Trouble. Who turns the tide of war? The battle belongs to theĀ LORD. He gives His people victory, And raises His standard high. Victory is not to the proud, Nor spoils to the swift. But we overcome our war, By regarding His love. When I …
The very idea of waiting around for God to do something is the very abandonment of solid effort.Ā I love you, and I love the idea of letting go of things that weigh me down. There was a time when I didn’t want to pray.Ā I want to pray now, but it’s much easier than …
Icy glares and cold lit stares. Fall on walls in even glares. Beneath the flames of energy, A time has come for you and me. The silence opens and splits the night, The calling is the heavenās blight. Satan rocks the icy grave, Where door of death gave way to save. Christās victory has spoken …

Imagine, if you would, you just walked in on the conversation God was having with me the other night.Ā Ā I was discouraged, but God wasnāt having it.Ā Ā Every time He would compliment me, I had my reasons on why that couldnāt be the Holy Spirit.Ā Ā āGod would never feel that way about me,ā I thought.Ā Ā āHeās much too perfect.ā …
A Praise to the God of my Life.Ā A Mitcham of Ellijah. Who denies the sun its length of day and throws stars into beyond? You O LORD. Maker of heavens and Earth. You oh God, are real, exuberant in life, and full of endless days. When we are cast down, you bring joy out …
So the day began with Godās question, āDo you know I am the Almighty One?ā Ā Holy Moley, yes!!!! Well, yesā¦ Iām aware.Ā The world would be a very different place if you did.Ā Okay. You do, you know all things, and itās only fitting that you would. Lord, every day I pray that your …
How do you not be sad? A sigh prolonged within its wall, But for the darkness, rivers fall. Tremors in the lower base, Divots formed upon my face. Facing days with lone remorse, Friends to no one on its course. How can you not be mad? Eyes raw and red, the hardest years, Brought about …
