Late at night, and I contemplate the star,As the three did then.

The man of peace

Peace horizon

A peace more deep-rootedthan an old sequoia tree,a peace more innocentthan the purest springhead stream,a peace more profoundthan the deepest ocean depths,a peace more soundthan the strongest diamond rock,a peace more poisedthan the highest mountain peak,a peace more far-reachingthan the beyondest star,a peace more settledthan the greatest earthly calm—I longed for such a peace as this.

Her watchful love

Lydia, faithful Lydia,<em class="footnote d-none" title="*">&lt;em class="footnote d-none" title="*"&gt;See Acts 16:14, 15, 40.

Take off your shoes.

God comes first

First the firmament,Then the covenant,Then the testamentof Truth and Love.

My blocks spell LOVE

My letter blocksare lots of fun.

How not to worry

Worry is—my/me thinking.

Daysong

When gray despair clouds over dawn,daysong and sun not come,what can be done?
