Place me here in the Dark Into a world where there is no light Into a world where I can’t see I trip I stumble I fall Place me here in the Dark My eyes are blind My actions rewind I cannot tell what to do or where to go Where the games are all … Continue reading Poetry: In The Dark
I recently rediscovered this poem. I wrote it back in late June, when we were deliberating about when was the right time to finally put down our own beloved dog. I guess I was processing through some emotions. This is beautiful and painful to me at the same time. Prompt: You buy a pair of … Continue reading A Thrift Store Find
It's Friday! Time to share some of my own writing. A while back, as I was experimenting with poetry more, I decided to write some biblical poetry. Poetry is already in the Bible, so why not come up with some of my own in my own style? I'd love to write more of these, to … Continue reading Poetry: Bible Inspired Poetry

Someday, I'll get through those and you'll see them … Continue reading A Poem: Today I did the dishes
There is a podcast I've been listening to for a long time, Not Your Pastor's Podcast. I've literally listened to all but 1 episode - because for whatever reason, I couldn't access it. Anyway, they started a bonus episode thing called Not Your Pastor's Pulpit. As I listened to these, I kept thinking 'I should … Continue reading My first poetry reading
