This is a poem written in 2012 for a very good friend of mine who lost her husband. Carl was one of the most amazing people I have ever know. The Christ he carried with him was evidenced by the ever-present smile on his face. He was a man who understood that the love...

Most of our dreams, we cannot remember beyond just that few moments between being fully asleep and fully awake. Nighmares, however, can leave a lasting impression and can remain in our memories for a very long time. This nightmare I spoke about in this poem is just...

I am posting another poem I wrote back in 1999. While on the cross, Jesus uttered the words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Just a short while before, He said, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but...
