“The Voice of Traffic”

a cop speeds ahead
on the highway
lights flashing
pacing across all lanes
stopping traffic

not doubt
for safety

the traffic slows
reluctantly
waiting to gun it
ready to pass
but heeding the warning

how many times
has the Holy Spirit
warned us to slow down
maybe stop
and we can’t wait to pass Him

“Walking with HIM”

lay down my life for You

Yes and Amen
I will listen
listen only to You

Yes and Amen
I will follow
I will follow You

Popcorn and Tears

Yesterday was too funny. In the morning, as I was packing lunch for me and Lee, at the last minute, I grabbed a bag of popcorn, figuring I’d pop it right before leaving for the park, so it would be warm. Good plan, huh? The Holy Spirit has the best plans, and they’d work great, if I’d follow them.

Work was getting in the way of me leaving for lunch, so I left a little late. As I walked up the hill from work, I realized I forgot to pop the popcorn, so I was taking a package of microwave popcorn kernels…no time to go back. I had cold pizza and sweets, so I continued on. Continue reading
