I visited my garden the other day, feeling a little bit like a failure. In a season that should be abounding, I could barely find anything that hadn’t been eaten up by bugs or killed off by choking weeds. Now the fact is, I have been very busy with a new adventure. So it’s been …

This is another “ant trail” that is a little off the verse-by-verse study of the Song, but I want to share something really cool that I saw. For those who know, I live next door to my Mom, and she has (which came with her house) a lot of flower gardens that need tending. I …

The moment the Shulamite woman dreamed about had finally arrived, that one she waited for, and journeyed at such great risk to experience. King Solomon was standing with her and holding her hands, staring at her adoringly. They exchanged some words of praise at their appearance to each other, skipping small talk entirely.

“The biggest symbols make the biggest targets.”
Explaining movie plots is so not my skill, but I just watched one called “G.I. Jane” that was inspiring to me, and I’d like to try to share something I saw in it pertaining to the Bride of Christ. Along with some other encouragement from the Lord and others, it has energized me to wade back into …

It’s been awhile since the last post – longer than usual anyways – and I can’t say I know why exactly. So I’m just resting and waiting. What is coming ahead feels very heavy.

Blossoms are appearing! The season of songbirds has come, and the cooing of doves is being heard in the land. Song 2:12
My family used to raise doves. Just a pair of them, in a cage. A special trait about them is their loyalty for life, and their focus. When our doves weren’t eating or …
