My Own Familiar Friend, A Passover Allegory
My own familiar friend Sometimes, when we repeatedly hear a story, we think we know the story.

The Journey of the Prophet Part III
The prophet has an assignment just as the teacher has an assignment, just as a missionary has an assignment. The assignment isn’t to predict the next President, and although the prophet may be endowed with interpretation ability of dreams, that’s not the prophet's primary assignment. It’s not to give “A prophetic Word of the... Continue Reading →
The Prophet Amos
The world makes me sad at times. Our sins make a noise, and the noise can drown out the beauty of the songbirds. In Genesis 18:21, we learn that the Father says He will see if the sound He is hearing is a bad as it cries. "I will go down and see if... Continue Reading →
Pink Flamingos and Prophetic Sand
I found the poem at the end of this blog in an old email or note box on my phone. It was jotted down in September of 2019, and it's a beach poem I wrote while visiting Florida. Now we are here. So strange to read it and remember the journey of how it happened.... Continue Reading →

Joseph the Seer, Sees–Part II
Part One HERE The Seer, Sees. Suddenly, Joseph loses control. Over 20 years of emotions locked up inside of his soul now bursting to be released. “Send everyone away from me!” The room filled with servants and guardsmen hurrying to leave. A hush falls over the air. The sons of Israel wonder what will become... Continue Reading →
Joseph, the Dreamer, an allegory–Part I
My interpretive story of the accounts of Joseph the dreamer: The Nile had failed to give the fields their water. Wheat stalks bent their heads in shame, and much of the cattle have a thin skeletal frame about them. The lotus flowers and the plumy papyrus were almost obsolete, and the hot southeast wind had...

Dandelion Seeds
He said, "Gram's, I picked this for you." One small outstretched hand held one dandelion that had seen better days. No longer green-- Its golden petals were now full of white powdered seeds.
