Turn from the valley dark,And you shall see—heightsGlorious with immortal majesty.

DECISIONS

It never is a questionOf being old enoughTo make my own decision,With wisdom and precision,And so, progress.

From Church

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

WALKING WITH GOD

He walks in quietness who knowsthe nothingness of mortal woes,and feels beneficence of Mindcalmly embracing all mankind.

MIND IS THE POWER

Mind is the powerthat regulates the earth,makes the larkcircle, pulls the tide to shorein measured cadencesof time and sound.

WITH NEW TONGUES

Beth, proud of her ability nowTo count up to ten,Arranging her squadronOf metal spacemenIn a stiff-legged row,Beth sure of far moreThan I was whenI dragged my doll across the floor,Meets a challenge.

"THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT"

Endure, for the gentle streamerodes the obdurate rock.

SO HIGH MY HEAVEN

So high my heaven,Soul's atmosphere,That spaceAnd outer space,Measured in billionsOf light-years,Peopled with planetsCircling in orbits,Endlessly,Monotonously,Seem unimportantAnd insignificant.

LOVE'S HEALING HOUR

Stretch forth the hand!Let understanding thought expandBeyond the realmOf mortal senseInto infinitudeOf good.
