Star of wonder

Perhaps the shepherds saw it first,Those faithful, humble seekers for the light.

On bended knees

I bend my knees todayIn awesome gratitude.

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.

Am I my brother's keeper?

My brother needs a helping hand—Dear brother, put your hand in mine;I have placed my hand in God'sAnd He will clasp it close.
The Lord is my shepherd;I shall not want.

No idols—only heroes here!

Lo, the idol!Look at the form,Golden exterior,But hollow within.

A psalm of summer

It's a day full of birdsong and bloomings,when heat has at last settled in,reaching the extremities—some collective, remembered fear of heat lingers—the locusts are silenced by a low-flying helicopter, briefly.

Well-loved child

Ever felt affection-brimmed,filled up with love for someone dear?

Because she knows

Mother's calm,though night will fallspreading darkness over all.

Prayer for peace

Oh God,help Hagar stop her weepingand Sarah begin to laugh once more.

I heard God call

I lay on an altar, Lord,To subtle and foolish sin.

Certainty

There's only one Mind, now.
