My Mother’s Day She fed me from her gentle breast and comforted me in her arms of rest and on my cheeks tender kisses pressed.

Whispers of Love My love whispers without word or sound, Thoughts only your heart can hear. My love whispers when our eyes meet, Or, with a gentle touch, a warm embrace.

Gravelords Death belongs to the grave-lords of the endless night Who chose their tabernacle of ruin minus light. Refusing to believe and give Christ the reigns They now walk in lust-fires tortured in chains. In the glory of self-hood and worldly charms They died alone in ego’s arms. – C. S. Craig
A Cap or a Crown What will there be to remember When life has passed December When they dig the hole and put you down Was your life a cap or a crown Where are the signs of mountains climbed Where leads the trail you left behind Did fate cast them into the sea Buried deep the same as thee…

I Will There are two wills in life: “I will” and “God’s will.” When we become more important than God, “I” dominates our thinking. When God is more important than self, God dominates our thinking and our lives. “Self is god of our life or God is God of our life. It’s one or the other.” – C. S. Craig C….
