As daughters of God, endowed with His essence,
our hope for the future is bright.
We come to this earth to receive of His fullness…
to grow and take on greater light.

In ancient days, the law of sacrifice
was clear and plain.
The firstlings of each flock were offered
to the Lord and slain.
On Wishes, Sorrows, and Tomorrows

Sometimes I dream our manger scene
is brought to life at night.
The darkness yields to shepherds’ fields
and one star, shining bright.

“but I’d like to say a word.

I’m a man and not a bird.

Evening falls like gentle rain
upon the weary day.
The colors fade, then flash once more
before they pass away.

A woman is a tree of life;
the heavens know her grace.
In her is found an essence that
eclipses time and space.
Life is Golden

Are we condemned to take our lives for granted?
Must loss be felt (or feared) before the joy?
Does gratitude grow stale when goodness gathers,
when all is well with every girl and boy?
