The Power of a Whisper

There is nothing like the goodness of God and the strength of His presence. 

~~~

His love is deep and filled with promises.

~~~

We all desire to be loved unconditionally. 

I have something exciting to tell you:

The Lord of all, 

the Creator of the universe,

 and the Author of our faith

has sacrificed everything He ever could

to wash you clean.

~~~

Those rough spots,

when you feel like life could never be worse,

are just part of the storm

that eventually calms...

and there is peace.

~~~

"... the Lord passed by, 

and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains

and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord,

but the Lord was not in the wind;

and after the wind an earthquake,

but the Lord was not in the earthquake;

and after the earthquake a fire,

but the Lord was not in the fire;

and after the fire

a still small voice."

~~~

So if you feel like the wind is blowing you around

and the earth is shaking

and your skin is searing,

be encouraged.

The Lord will whisper.

The cinquain

Learned of a new form of poetry the other day. It's called a "cinquain." My creation follows.

Hug

Cozy, Desperate

Healing, Lasting, Loving

A place of security

Comfort

I'm not sure that I like cinquains. They're much too structured or something.

Free verse is best, says the mushiness under my thinking cap.

The Bad Stuff

Alcohol is terrible for you... physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Don't do it.
