The swan that floatson Airlies Lakefloats double,swan and shadow.

Swan ride

The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

From 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.

Prayer for prayer

Worn out,Yearning for spiritual food,And trying to pray so hard,I came to point where, like a flash in dark obscurity,A wonderful idea made room for itself:

Make the most

Certainly! You canmake the mostof Love's song-winged moments.

In step with light

Not by chance,not by plannedavoidance of the darkdoes true conviction dawnand make its markin waking consciousnesswhere deep root growthso long unseendigs its way to victoryand fellowship.

"As it is in heaven"

Why notlive each dayas if it wereour first day in heavenrather than(as some counsel)our last one on earth?

We can praise!

I wanted to praisebut praise didn't come:problems requiring solutionand other burdensweighed heavily.

Man beloved

We are never lost from God,nor ever at a loss to realizecare and comfort at His presence—

As shepherds

As shepherds keep guard over straying flocks,we must watch over our flock of thoughts.

Oh, for more Nathans!

Whose moral courage risks retaliation,while uncovering errorthat we may be healed.
