Author Thoughts Today July 28, 2025

Author Thoughts Today July 27, 2025

“Silence is anything but passive waiting. It’s proactive listening. And each day, God’s voice gets a little louder in our lives until He’s all we can hear. If you want to hear the heart of God, silence is key. If you want the Spirit of God to fill you, be still.” Mark Batterson * * […]

Author Thoughts Today July 26, 2025

During devotionals this morning, Mark Batterson and the Spirit laid this on me, and I felt compelled to share it. Peace! G. “There’s an old adage that those who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music. That is certainly true of those who walk to the beat of God’s drum. When […]

Never Broken

Not sure where this came from…but then…it’s not where it came from; rather, it’s from whom it came. The Relentless Wench Muse interrupts writing the next chapter of “Puye Prophecy” and says in Her delicious Australian accent…write this down, mate, before it’s a goner. So I did… Haven’t written poetry in years. Who knows where […]

What I’m about to share may not make sense to anyone, but when I write something that makes me laugh or cry until tears flow, I have to share it. This is from a rewrite of “Mirror Mirror” a few minutes ago. * * * Blanche squeezed herself through the conference room door and announced, […]

060324 – Author Thoughts – Listening But Not Hearing

This little scripture referenced in this morning’s Oswald Chambers devotional is easy to miss; just read on by, as I have before, and not hear the words. We read the words silently with our eyes, but only the heart hears every unuttered syllable of His Word. Is that connection operational in us? Sometimes yes, and […]
