Ah, the adventures we can have in imagination – the wonderful tales which can take us to the places full of fun and fancy that await. Pretense? Yes, that’s it – make believe. It can be some truth with more myth, or much truth and some element of myth attached. Oh, but what a wonderful adventure fairy tales can be…
The road in the kingdom is level – no more hills and valleys Justice dwells in the wilderness Righteousness in the forest. The end of Justice shall be quiet confidence The fruit of righteousness shall be peace In happiness we will sing by unfailing waters When Christ reigns from Jerusalem We shall see the King in His glory and perfect…
Wisdom is brightest in the day-spring of morn; I have inherited the wind’s song. Wisdom shall flourish like a branch in Spring – I drink from wisdom’s fountain. Wisdom in my soul sustains laughter; I shall flourish in His eternal love hereafter. My children – my glory, my children’s children – my crown. The day is done, oh my soul,…
WORDS OF STONE Where do we find happiness or peace of mind? Is the answer in alcohol and wine? Is it just out of reach ? Is it at the beach? Where do we find happiness or peace of mind? Is the answer in fortune we all seek to find ? Is it with some little honey? Is it really…
There once was a raindrop Believe it or not Afraid to fall from the sky. He looked down and said, “This is too high, I might get hurt, I might even die. What can I do, where can I go? How can I get to the earth below” “You could slide down on me,” said the rainbow. “I touch the…
We enter this world with heart and soul We’re here for a while, then called to go. Death is passing through the door That leads us on to evermore Where loved ones patiently wait For our arrival at Heaven’s Gate. Then, we’ll walk together by sacred streams In beauty transcended beyond our dreams Where light and life are one in…
If God should beckon with outstretched hand I will be transferred to the promised land He may call my name in sleep some night And I shall wake in heaven’s light — C. S. Craig May 2021
The Glory Chamber of God cloudy days portray the glory of God suspended as a covering over the earth. When the clouds release their waters the earth drinks life. — C. S. Craig
We were created whole – a seamless piece of love. Faith is the most commonly used perception of every human being – yet saving-faith is rare. The weeping willow hangs like a widow’s veil, the wind sighing through the spruce trees could be hopeless passion, or misfortune. Who could foretell this frenzied flowing song? Then came the whistling singer. From…
Death is the enemy of creation. It has no regard for the beauty or the goodness of life. Death sweeps through the gardens of life, destroying the lilies and the roses, the weeds and thistles. Flowers hide their beauty beneath green leaves, blushing unseen. But the sting of death, caring nothing for their fragrance and loveliness, withers them instantly with…
Wolves rushing in Eagles swooping down Confusion binding truth Untruth leading the blind The Restrainer slowly being withdrawn The way of Anti-Christ is being prepared Tribulation is just ahead Wickedness rules the day Come quickly, Lord Jesus – call us out We’re listening for the trumpet And the thunder of your shout. Amen. Written Sunday September 18, 2022
The LORD demonstrates His power in the winds, the whirlwinds and the storms. At the LORD’S command the rivers rise and the rivers dry up. The lush green forests wilt, and the pastures wither. The mountains tremble, and the hills melt. The earth quakes, nations rise and fall. The earth turns, life endures. Thank you LORD for your “absolute veracity…
THE PRIDE OF DISBELIEF Pride goeth forth to conquer the world But returns to the door and asks for more He who serves others well and says little, merits more Than he who boasts, and clamors at the door Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall – things destined to be Life goes on as time marches on – to eternity But…
STAR-FLIER Our fleshly lives are but a flash-fire, doused by Eternal Water. The twilight years prepare our needy soul for destiny in Christ. Soon, the gathering in the sky; flight with angels on high. No longer a world-crier but a star-flier, singing wind-songs in heavenly chorus, praising God forever more. C. S. Craig – July 19, 2020
Silver Brushstrokes Branches stretch reaching out With crooked arms twisted fingers Fearful shadows linger not The forest begins its nightly moves The western twilight fades Into misty-smooth serenity The breath of God becomes the frost That performs its secret ministry Frosted trees form crystal archways Grasses form crystal pendants God with silver brush-strokes Paints the scenic stillness …
Glory Returned To Glory By C. S. Craig April 11, 2020 Midday gathered in midnight darkness Sirocco winds brought nimbus clouds, forbidden sun Silence atomic – sins poured out, His awful scream Spiritual separation from The Father, The Spirit Thunderbolts cracked, igniting the heavens The earth stood still, trembling, shaking violently Then the exhale – “IT IS FINISHED!” Three days…
POINTS TO PONDER Does your thinking revolve more around you… or Christ? Is your thinking more about yourself… or others? Is your concern for your own security, or the less fortunate, or even the homeless? What is your goal in life? Is your goal a goal that pays you dividends in time or, more importantly, rewards for eternity? How many…
“Follow Me!” “We do not choose the battlefields in life But we are to follow the colors to the top of the hill; We cannot water the gardens where seeds have been planted But someday we will see the flowers that bloomed!” – C. S. Craig October 20, 2018
DREAMING FACES Pale horses fly Across the purple twilight Ghost riders in the sky Fade away with the night Phantoms in portals begin to form Fleeting figures, misty places Delusions, til night turns to morn All is well on dreaming faces — C. S. Craig September 19, 2017
