"I could've had Elimelech's land, If not for Ruth the Moabitess' hand. Elimelech's land has much potential, But taking a flawed wife was essential. With the land, I would come out ahead. With Ruth, I'd ruin my future instead. So, I let Boaz redeem both of them. I'm happy to pass this burden to him." "I use what's flawed to bring blessing. Ruth's faith...

A FLOWER THAT BLOOMS God sees your life as a flower That sprouts, grows, blooms, wilts, withers, and dies in one Day. And it is not so much the way the Lord sees how you were Rooted to the world But, How you attempted to bloom toward the sky. Whether your stem was broken too soon by an icy storm, Wilted...

I looked at the trees. They moved with the birds, while they chirped and laughed. Shutting the door, my hand shaking from former caffeine. I heard music from my room. It stopped. My speaker died. The blinds let the light in and my room smelled good, like laundry in the morning. My skin was easy today and my lips...

My days were filled with limp lifts of your hands, each a tear steeped in lost compassion. You made me swim in a cold, clammy sea of sorrow~ and shaped me into a voiceless, motionless s c u l p t u r e. My cries were your joy~ your face and the devil’s wore identical masks. Your...

I read a book with sharp words Piercing deep into the muscles of the heart Unraveling life's secrets Detailing beyond this realm Narrating the past with caution Illuminating what's within the breast Putting doubt to rest Separating truth from the grasp of falsehood Then I recited the book The eyes turned watery The reasoning humbled From the harmony that comes from within A true source of solace...

"Whose discernment is correct?!" "They read but don't watch for Me, So simple truth turns knotty: Captives in a doctrinal fence, Their interpretations lack sense, Their expertise a mere pretense. The truth originates with Me, My illumination lets you see: Your eyes see what I've planned, Your ears obey My command, Your mind will then understand. My people will be purified, My enemies will be petrified: My plans...

Her skin, a velvet sin, a scripture I recite with the tip of my tongue, melts like dark chocolate, bitter and sweet on my hungry lips, pouring confessions in breathless whispers, a dance of endless desire. I pull her closer, white-knuckled on silk sheets, intoxicated by the ecstasy between her thighs, a paradise lost and found, a pleasure so intense...

In the Biblical landscape of rebirth earth whispered footsteps steaming forward with friendship From a stranger with an unknown smile Throughout the unfolding fields and whispy wildflowers the sky cloaked him in azure atmosphere When he spoke to her the first time her innermost radio turned on to his station Heavenly fuel glued their garden...

'Least likely' times three, Putting me through difficulty To persuade me to go away, Axing with, "Have a nice day..." So much for a 'Protection Plan'! That maze through which no one can, Defeat the 'Crooked Counterplan'! The 'gods of profit' win again! (sigh) 'Most likely' times three, These "gods of profit' turn beastly, And poison justice everywhere, Until their profit becomes a snare! Israel's leaders blind and...

The tide is strong, and the waves are crashing in abruptly. The wind is blowing fiercely, and the rain is coming down. A sailor's boat with a wooden paddle, and no life jacket on it rocks back, and forth at the dock. All alone,and in despair standing for the righteous people. Not a kind, and trustworthy person...
