Devastating

Long-exposure rain streaks and colored pole lights

I read A Prayer of Consecration to The Holy Trinity, on a candle. I had no idea. The reason being—I am forty-five years old.

No One Could Say Anything

Curved pale beams against black sky

I left plenty of things behind when we got divorced.  Everything, something I have been able to get back, not material because I have more than I did then. But feelings, emotions, and the newness of the new day, should bring freshness and a good sense of life, but I feel nothing. I am concerned…

Inspiring right in the bull’s-eye.

Please Pray With Me

Abstract motion-blurred green light streaks on dark

You asked, and you will receive, just a little more time. Well, I told them, and no one is listening. It is not dull reading. I think it flows, even though I have not read the book yet. I think it is one of those psychological things. Furthermore, I am not satisfied, but what? I…

Strong Holds

Blurry image with streaks of light.

These are strongholds, identifying my journey from darkness to the light. I thought I received, and it pains me, without vision, it is for Christ to come home in every heart. Do you understand?
