The Gift of God’s Guidance
There is no rock like our God. (1 Samuel 2:2) I took a long walk yesterday to one of my favorite hiding places. I picked up several rocks that caught my eye and found a place to stack them. A cairn is a set of stones set up as a marker, monument, or memorial of…

The Gift of Dreams
“Let her sleep, for when she wakes, she will move mountains.” unknown It all started with my dreams. I don’t mean my faith, as I was raised to be a Christian, but my journey towards my relationship with Christ. This is crucial, because what so many people don’t realize, is true Christianity isn’t about religion;…

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23) If you know me, you know I love to collect rocks. I like to take them from places and times I want to remember, and I usually paint them. This is a rock from one of my favorite hiding places.…

The Gift of a Broken Thing
“We are all broken. That’s how the light gets in.” Ernest Hemingway I can’t help but laugh whenever I look at this photo. These poor sunglasses finally bit the dust after 12 solid years. The funny thing is, even though they were broken, they still had value. I took a photo, made it black and…
