Hast thou no scar? No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand? I hear thee sung as mighty in the land; I hear them hail thy bright, ascendant star. Hast thou no scar? Hast thou no wound? Yet I was wounded by the archers; spent, Leaned Me against a tree to die; and rent By ravening beasts that compassedContinue reading “Poetry ~ Amy Carmichael; No Scar?”

Called To Be Strangers
In the early 1900’s a young girl was facing the question, “Is God calling me to be a witness for him in a foreign land?” She believed that answer was, “Yes.”So, she went to college to learn how to best bring light to a dark and dying world. In college she was faced with anotherContinue reading “Called To Be Strangers”
Lack of Vision
A few nights ago, I was taking the pig slop out to our pigs, and there was very little natural light from a waning crescent moon that hadn’t begun to peek over the tree line surrounding us. I should also note that I had been doing some construction around the house (as I am oftenContinue reading “Lack of Vision”
A Little Neglect
A well maintained park is something to enjoy. I picture in my mine a lawn with fully seeded and nicely cut grass, large shade trees, beautiful flowers, and aesthetically pleasing landscape; maybe a pond, or creek, or fountain near by. There is a lot of work that goes into keeping that piece of ground lookingContinue reading “A Little Neglect”
All We Like Sheep…
The sad reality captured in the words to that great hymn by Robert Robinson, written almost 300 years ago still ring true of us today: Prone to wander, Lord I feel it;Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it;Seal it for Thy courts above. The Word of GodContinue reading “All We Like Sheep…”

He wants us to have a permanent reference to build upon. Luke 6:46-49 KJV 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, andContinue reading “Like A Rock”
After The Fire
S.T. And I had been discussing what we understood “Quenching the Holy Spirit” meant and he had related it to a sword smith heating a sword, pounding the metal out, and repeating that process before quenching the metal. He also said there are two ways to quench the metal – oil and water – oneContinue reading “After The Fire”
Quenched or Quickened?
On cold winter days when I am going to be leaving the house for a number of hours, I usually get the fireplace piping hot and load it up with some nice green logs. Right before I walk out the door, I will shut down all of the air going in. The fire will continueContinue reading “Quenched or Quickened?”
Stronger For It
Yesterday, a young lady at our church sang a song by the Carr family. I’d like to bring up the chorus and just say that, sadly, I’m not at this point yet…and part of me is scared to say this, but I WANT to be at this place. Make me blindThat I might seeMake meContinue reading “Stronger For It”
Problem With Math
I am so thankful that my school days are over. I still love to learn, and I desire structure in that as well, but I am happy that I get to have control over most of that. When I was in college, Calculus II was the most confusing for me. My teacher wasn’t very goodContinue reading “Problem With Math”
