treasured troubled soul
sometimes a light surprises
night clear as day-light

Weary Warriers, Be Faithful in Love
Psalm 31
Though we are weary
our very lives testify
steadfast is his love
Psalm 35
a long weary war rages
injustice laughs, the weak wait
expectant with hope.
Haggai 1:1-15
temple forgotten
Israel sought present pleasures
repent and rebuild
Revelations 2:18-29
be pure in your love
do not be beguiled by lies
faithful Bride of Christ
Matthew 23:27-39
like a hen with chicks
I long to gather you close
but you refuse this.

Phillip Under the Fig Tree
how do you know me?
Phillip hid not from Your sight
under the fig tree
what thoughts were had there
that made sense of this question?
sight that knows speaks deep.

bringing judgment love.

hold fast, be faithful even then

sing to the Lord a new song
all that is in me.

By us, came the Fall
can't get up, left with stiff necks
We need your straightening.
