one of my callings
will be writing
a book
about marriage
but if I wrote it
right now
it’d be about NOT
getting married

“May I have this dance?” -God
A couple weeks ago, I’d met a woman in Lowe’s, who’d told me about a church she went to, where they allow people to dance with flags, and I absolutely couldn’t WAIT to get there! Well, this past Sunday I went and want to share it with you. Continue reading
“Heaven’s Menu”
[written 7/10/16]
there’s something about laughter
that brings the enemy down
I picture laughter
sounding like
nails on a chalkboard
to the enemy
when we got to Texas
depression was heavy
lingering above us
dripping in our minds
one by one
we were silent
consumed with the sound
of the drip
one by one
we pulled out of it
and turned off
the spout
except Nathan
he’s been so sad
through it all
until last night
waiting at Denny’s for food
but being fed by Heaven
all it took
was one incident
and we were rolling!

abs sore
tears falling
laughter rising
Nathan came home
a different person
and Snapchat viewers
got a few laughs
I’d like to explain this poem a little. Continue reading
“Melted Pavement”
[written 7/9/16]
just one conversation
can cause
the clouded glass
that’s been
blocking your vision
to shatter
on the ground
and melt
into the heat
“Private Conversations”
[written 7/9/16]
I’ve realized
how my mind
and my heart
communicate
one’s more positive
than the other
when my mind says
‘I can’t handle this’
my heart replies
‘Bring it on!’
so I’ve been training my ears
which to listen to
because the heart
makes more sense
“Appetites”
[written 7/9/16]
some people “look”
for a grudge
to hold onto
because it fuels the anger
that controls them
whatever you feed
will never starve
Gasoline

The media seems to be the fuel for many wildfires.
“Unmasked”
[written 7/8/16]
sometimes in your present
you’re reminded of your past
and think back not believing
of who you “used” to be
that’s a very good place
reminded of who you were
and seeing who you’re not
by knowing who you are
as who you’re meant to be
it may sound confusing
in a poem
but in my heart
it makes perfect sense!
Hugging the Heat
[written 7/8/16]
Ever since I’ve been in Texas, God’s had me reading in Hebrews, so for the last five weeks, that’s what I’ve been doing, and I’m not one to “rush” through my reading. Continue reading
