The stone is rolling. Teetering on the edge. Where once it was secure, placed by the fingers and hands of the Almighty Creator, fixed in its place. Where it once was separated from the waters, the sky, and the soft earth. Where it once was part of majestic mountains that hovered, that threatened. Where it… Continue reading The Stone is Rolling
God began His world with a parting of the waters above and the waters below. Let there be light, He said, separating the light from the dark. Holding back the elements of turbulent chaos, with His great hands. Pulling forth life from dust. Bracing in place the puzzle of existence, piece by piece, with His… Continue reading God Lets Go
He heard it a million times from his mom; son of God, born of a virgin. When he was younger, he did not really know what all those words meant.

But I think we are more concerned about confessing an ancient faith… Continue reading YOU are What’s Wrong with Christianity

It blew like fire. Wisdom didn’t stop it. Shading morning into mourning. Her dark blazed darker still. Her teenage hand,… Continue reading Dead Air Fool
