Priming the Pump

Clear thoughts by writing

To focus thoughts on details

Words both splashed and planned

Priming the Pump

Priming the pump

To experience water in a gush

Feed the pump water

Priming the pump

Clearing the writer's mind to focus

To experience the words in a rush

Priming the pump

To experience water in a gush

Stepping Forward

Confidence grows

As You settle the path

Before me

Ordination to seek

School to open

All part of movement

Toward newcomers thriving in Canada

By thriving in You

Deer

Doe--alert

on country

road

"Is

all

clear?"

Doe--graceful

steps forward

crosses--

soon followed

by

fawn prancing

behind

Work?

Still holding back

With no decision in sight

He decides

Then he hasn't decided

Back and forth it goes

It's never been a difficult decision before

Why is it this time?

Footsteps

The floorboards squeak

As he walks above me--

Writing behind a closed door

Leaves me open to sounds

The tock of the clock

The squeak of the floor

The chirp of the crickets

Singing outside the window

Waking and writing

As the neighbourhood

Begins to move

Greg and Kelly (Happy 25th Anniversary)

Together in love

Bound by a link of marriage

With Katie and James

Ministry focused

Yet following the Lord where

He leads--step by step

Home filled with laughter

Yet striving to reach out with 

The love of Jesus

Twenty-five years since

They said "I do"--lots of time

To show it's for real
