    Mask Off

    Baby blue cloth rested over my face, sealing in the moisture exhaling from my nose and mouth. I put a mask on. Felt the claustrophobia… The disconnection… That comes from hiding. Eyes beaming across the way. Sets of eyeballs peering back around me, the only remnants left of the faces in a crowd. It’s a…

      You hold me close under the sky where torrents sweep and hurricanes wave goodbye to plagues you meant to break in two extracting dark from light   it’s quiet   in the eye of the One who rules the storm and buries the night the King has come enthroned in white as towers fall…

    With holy week upon us I can’t help but time-travel to this week in history when Jesus was dawning upon the holy city… headed for the moment where all the universe stood still… it’s heavy on my heart because I know what He is headed towards. I keep thinking about what Jesus was doing this…

  • When Death Meets Eternity

    When Death Meets Eternity

      I can feel the sand beneath my feet. Light welcoming the day anew. Ocean salt lingering in the moisture of a sky far removed from the plagues that touchdown on land. It’s seventy eight degrees on the Texas coast and I feel 180 degrees away from the frenzy of a world caught in paranoia.…
