Peace

You are the calm in my storm.
I don't know how I'm still moving forward,
But Your strength seems to be enough
Every time.

Forgiveness

The mirror is shattered.
I am certainly not, and haven't been, good.
But you forgave me. 
Gently, firmly, with understanding.

We Prayed for Spirit

Instead I got a homeless man on the step.

Words

My students said they were thankful for me being there.
I already felt, that that was the story I was supposed to tell.
It seemed I ended the moment I began, the words flowing effortlessly,
Like water flowing to the sea, like You were filling me.

Thanksgiving (2)

I am thankful most of all for my friends.

There is so much light in them, so much love.

Thanksgiving (1)

They say You put the lonely in families.
I don't know if this is a family.
But 20 in an apartment is a most warm feeling.

The Deaf Sing

A concert for the deaf,
The joy lighting their faces,
Worship, singing, living with such grace.
