From Pregnancy and childbirth

For expectant mothers

The more fully we accept the spiritual nature of birth, the more effortlessly we can demonstrate that nothing has occurred from which one needs to recover.

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.

THE CLOSED DOORS

Closed doors! They speak to us of human fear,As when King Herod, keen to please the JewsHad Peter chained to guards and thrown in jailBehind closed doors and hoped by doing soTo silence, once for all, the truths he taught—Upsetting truths to smug complacency.

OUT OF THE ARK

The earnest of the Word requitesWith love the weary and the sad;And to the body's plaint of illAppends a period.

THE OPEN HAND

Budgeting of worldly-wiseto save oneself, not freely give;stretch a pennyworth of life,strain it through dogmatic sieve,self-protect, economize—bankrupt soul!

THE NEW NAME—PAUL

One human heartImpregnatedWith the light of Truth;A life corrected,A mission redirectedIn ways of love.

LEADERSHIP

Do we follow, with stumbling, His chosen scribe,Meeting demands with diatribe—Seeing no more than gifted penOr talent like that of other men?

TESTIMONY OF HEALING

The light of Spirit's shining in that hourTransfigured all my illumined eyes could see,Shone out of heaven as sunlight on a flower,Transmuting time into eternity.
