Prayer is a solitary moment with you and your Creator.
Be still and know that I am
Prayer is the voice that seeks to have a relationship

April 17th.
The clouds were magnificent today. Billows of pure white, soaring upward against a blue sky. Clouds and more clouds spiraling higher and higher, as if they were bursting with energy and needed some place to go. I had to take a picture. I have not seen such clouds since New Mexico.

Because Easter is more than a one-time event.
Christ died, than rose and continues to live
He lives to help us live

They gather their mittens all the while they are singing
Theres no better [...]

The author Donald Miller never liked Jazz until he heard a man playing a saxaphone late one night in Portland.  And he didn’t like God either until……
And so begins his story.

A scene out of the novel I am presently working on:
Reese tossed and turned in his sleep.  He saw Sidney, he saw his sister and he saw death, waiting in the shadows.  Pictures flashed before him, voices surfaced from the deep.  His mind awakened old memories. Suddenly he saw himself at fourteen years of age, [...]
