But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

His Fix-It Shop For the Heart – A Tanka
March 30, 2019*
It is pouring rain.
Here I sit in hope not felt
Yet I still believe.
I have not placed my fingers
In the holes . . . yet He filled mine.

NAILS – An Acrostic
March 13, 2019Never had a tree so touched my heart.
Acorns, bark, leaves to rake.
It was so ordinary, almost invisible.
Lent’s reminder of my Savior’s love – His blood. . .
Somehow the tree wasn’t just a tree anymore.

GIFT OF A LIFETIME!
March 27, 2018WERE YOU THERE TOO?
I can STILL hear His footsteps as He dragged the heavy, rough cross along a seemingly endless path . . . sweat and blood dripping . . . knowing what was to come . . .and He did it for me.
