Christmas 2018


It is another cool and crisp winter day

As I go out to warm our “modern sleigh”

In preparation for what we have planned

This day is surely going to be grand

For my love and I are going to sneak away

In order to gather the finishing touches for the holiday.



As we head down the lane, it begins to snow

Softening the light and bringing a romantic glow

The light glistens and gleams off of the hoar frost laden trees

Reminiscent of a horse drawn sleigh painted winter scene

 Stealing a glance at the love by my side

My joy for this day is greatly magnified.



We spend the day going from store to store

Without you as my companion, it would be such a chore

We pause for a moment and stop for a warming treat

Conversation is light and as our eyes do meet

Once again, trapped by thy gaze so tender and sweet.



A pile of parcels accompany us on the way home

The day is ending; there is no more time to roam

I turn up the drive to our festive looking house

Decked for the Christmas season by my loving spouse

Through the window, we see, the majestic Christmas tree

Dressed with ornaments and lights that fill our hearts with glee.



We enter our home kept so cozy and warm by a crackling fire

A draw to the couch in which to rest and from the day retire

The air is filled with the sounds of cheer and mirth

The souls in this home adding so much to its worth.



Soon off to bed in preparation for Christmas Day

Yet for a moment, I wish to hold the coming morning at bay

In order to pull you close and drink in your beauty

For time spent away from you is such a cruelty

Gently brush aside the strands of hair that forget their place

Gazing once more upon your face filled with beauty and grace

Getting lost in your eyes. Drowning in their light reflecting pools

You are more precious to me than a chest full of jewels



Nevertheless, tomorrow must come and the festivities it contains

A day filled with food, drink, stories, laughter, and games

For Christmas will enter with an early morning cheer and shout

Then packages, ribbons, and wrappings will be thrown about

Smiling faces of loved ones that we have meticulously picked presents for

Tis a wondrous season that causes our love, joy, and happiness to soar.



So Merry Christmas to all, may your day bring you cheer

Continue to Strive

 We all have our own lives. For me, it has caused a stop in my posting anything for a long time. Many events have happened since I was last on here. I never forgot that I had this "blog". thank you to those who have read many of my past postings. Once again, I have something for your reading enjoyment. I may not be great at having the scriptures at hand to back my words, but I know they are scripturally sound. Combative Desires   The battle continues to rage in my mind A reprieve from this fight I cannot find Take stands for what I perceive to be true Have plenty of scripture for strength to endue But my mind I find is still on the proverbial fence The desires I have are not wrong and very intense   Examples around me seem to show a different story Lives I see being lived to give God the glory Taking a path that to me seems contrary To the truth of His word not being wary   I strive to seek guidance from a higher power And still no assurance in this present hour I ha...

Hiking and the path of life

Teen Camp 2019 @ Twin Bears Alaska. This is a place of "holy ground" for me. A place of many memories now both bitter and sweet. A place that has been used often in my life to bring about a time of God communicating with me through many of the messages. As tradition would have it, we once again hiked the Angel Rocks trail. As the years have passed, I must admit that the hike has become more of a challenge. Some would look at it and decide to stay behind and wait for the teens and "younger adults" to come back. Whether a glutton for punishment or a hard head that will not accept the passing of time, I once again headed out. Many young adults and teens sprinted off in order to be the first to reach the top. As I walked along the trail, most of the time alone, God started to pour some spiritual applications about the trail into my mind. In our spiritual walk with God, we are all heading in a direction to become more Christ-like. Just like the trail, it becomes mor...

Life's Ambitions

Prov. 16:9 A mans heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. We can often plan out our day, week, month, year, or life. We set long term goals and dreams and either head in those directions or continue to plan to achieve the outcome. There is nothing wrong with the setting of goals. However, we must not "write them in stone". How often have the ideas and plans you have set have gone awry? The life events that has been handed you, end up derailing your dreams and ambitions? It can become something that emotionally brings you down to the point of depression. You can end up loosing your temper and becoming angry at people or situations that have interrupted or brought to an end your desires. How foolish we are to think that we are in control. God allows us breath. God keeps our hearts beating. God gives us strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. Oh we can plan. We can have hopes and dreams. But please remember that they are at the mercies of God...
