"The Half Has Not Been Told
Of Who You Are"
You rescued me
I didn't ask for it
I didn't pray for it
or to You at all
yet You pulled me
from that mud pit
up into that huge
beautiful pasture
and transformed
my mind that night
I was so confused
but You show me
what I need to know
You have revealed
Yourself through the
Bible and now You're
revealing me
through You
I try to run ahead and
You pull me back
You whisper into
my ear
two words that
give me a hope
and a future
and so I promise to
listen this time
because I know
that You're the
way maker.

Author's note: The title, "The Half Has Not Been Told of Who You Are" is from a Brandon Lake song by that title, and it is true that probably far less than half has been told about the God we serve.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
