As I look to the darkened sky,
a fallen angel in disguise
held me down around the halo,
I fell and drowned into their eyes.

Deepest notions of sentiment,
unearth the thoughts I have sent.
A candle burning through the night.
Is my mind broken? While yours is bent?

I need to change...

Young parents wipe their children’s tears
and help them grow up brave and strong.
They strive to teach them right from wrong.

Soon come the adolescent years.
Kids say, “You just don’t understand!”
Sides struggle for the upper hand.

High school flies by. Adulthood nears.
To life, they’ll give their very best
while...

Someone lead me,
I need a leader. 
I'm sick of being in charge. 
Sick of being confident. 
Sick of being positive. 
Sick of being funny. 
Sick of being deep. 
Take my role for a change. 
I perceive all of your options,
Now it's your turn. 
Protect me,...

Abounding in GOD Who meets every need

Blest to experience His goodness indeed

Cheerful along faith-propelled charity breed

Delighted midst gracious life-building deed

Enabled for trust’s soar, divinely freed

Fulfilling kindness against carnal greed

Gladly serving as the Saviour does lead

Held by His compassion-anchorage creed

I thank the LORD* Who moves me...

This 4th day of December will find
Millions musing about their Christmas roles.
They shall ponder, "What shall I be called upon
to do for, to give to, the cause of Jesus Christ?
They shall ask, "How shall my task compare
with that of the star and Biblical characters?"

The star's...

I grew up in the fifties and sixties.
Gender roles were almost absolute
Back in small town Iowa.
Daddies worked. Mommies didn’t.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Dad’s escaped from the drudgery of housework,
homework, cleaning, cooking, laundry, dusting,
gardening, painting, sewing, knitting.


My mother was constantly busy from five a.m.
Until midnight when...

Fulfill roles unto the Lord

Mightily by His power

Heartily* with His joy’s peace

Prudently thru His wisdom

Faithfully for His honour!

*Colossians 3:23 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord…”

Wrongdoing such as cheating, lying, bullying ...
Prohibited strictly and used often as warnings 
This fact relieved me, and left me a feeling 
Any of  which will be no longer our problem

It took me a long march of experience to tell
Those  tricky things can...

I cause one's self confidence to crumble away  
Like a worn-down building left to decay 
I infect the minds of the old and young 
Trapping them in the isolated web I've strung 
I force others to believe they aren't good enough 
They must be...

no cell phone service
in most of the universe
may make you nervous

original sin
where building of guilt begins
doubts start to creep in

autonomy should
not require lobotomy
only common sense

factoring our roles
finding poverty of soul
digs very deep holes

claim open season
for attacks upon reason
let's untruth sneak in

based on pure meanness
or simple...

Everyone's always told me that boys don't cry,
But though I ask, no one's ever told me why.

Don't all kids cry when they fall down
And walk around with a sad little frown?

Don't all kids get hurt now and then
Whether in the schoolyard or playpen?

What if someone...

I am vulnerable, confused, flawed, twisted
I am what I am.

I don’t want to cook,
don’t want to clean.
I don’t want to be
A wife or a mother.
I choose what I will not be.

I can wear a six yard
or a two piece
I can shun style 
And chose comfort...
