Love Dreams

Even after all these years, love still dreams.

Love’s Message to Hate

“You’re just another brick and I’m a sledgehammer.”

Love: A Witness

Recently, I’ve been thinking about love and its perspective. We usually consider the choice to love and the emotion that goes along with it, but we don’t usually think of it from a bird’s eye view. True love is active and all encompassing, but love thinks, too. It considers, it evaluates, it bares witness to […]Read Post ›

Repentance: Worship in Love

Repentance: to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one’s life. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that […]Read Post ›

The Power of One: This is What Love Is

In light of what’s happening in our communities, our country, and our world, I’ll let the videos speak for themselves. http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2016/07/11/one-dallas-protesters-come-together-nccorig.cnn/video/playlists/dallas-police-officer-shot/

Us vs. Them: We over They

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18 I came across an article commenting on the idea of “us” versus “them” in our culture, including museums (I work in the field).

They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. […]Read Post ›

Loving You as Is: Rep Your God

It’s a good thing God’s into projects. I’m a big believer in being put together; You’re a person, not a house. I don’t do fixer uppers. And I don’t expect you to have a license to remodel me. I don’t need inspections or some kind of certificate to verify my adequacy as a person for […]Read Post ›

Love Doesn’t Let People Get Away with Spirit-Murder

This poem was inspired by watching two people deteriorate when the victim of the slight/injustice isn’t holding the other person accountable. This isn’t to trample on Christ’s call to forgiveness or His command to love, but to be empowered by His Words to love ourselves enough to speak up and say that we matter. Love […]Read Post ›
