Lord of Late Summer: A Poem by Yours Truly
Happy August, friends! I could have sworn that yesterday was May, but here we are. My late-summer flowers are blooming, the weather is scorching, and the cicadas are simply deafening. I love it! While I’m always sad to say goodbye to my favorite time…
Masterful Poems: “Pied Beauty”

Oh, Taste and See
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, friends! The gratefulness doesn’t have to end here. Psalm 34 reminds us that each new day is a fresh chance to praise God. Take a look at these verses and exalt the Lord with me!
