We Belong to the Day

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

There are no throw away days. There are no days that don’t count for something. There are no days where you aren’t being held accountable. There just aren’t! You see, each day is yours, It’s yours to fulfill His plan in your life. It’s yours to make a difference in the world. Each and every day is numbered and carefully planned for you to prosper. So get up, you belong to the day. Linger in His presence, and be saved! Be free! Be healed!

Pray on…

Dig Love!

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

Oh, without a doubt, it would say Dig Love! It’s my belief that above all, that’s what’s wanting in our world, we just don’t seem to care about each other anymore, we have discounted the value of human life.

With just one voice, love can be heard
With just one hand, love can be felt
With just one smile, love can be seen
With just one heart, change can begin
Dig love

Home Again

What do you love about where you live?

I love that I have been blessed to settle into two very creative settings. One in Bucks County, PA, and another on a barrier island in Brevard County, FL. Both homesteads are remote without being out-of-touch with society, and offer a personal connection to nature. What I love the most is that I’ve found them both to be spiritually inspiring places to call home.

When my path is straight
And love replaces hate
Don’t you know
I’m home again

Beautiful Day

What positive emotion do you feel most often?

I wake each day feeling blessed. When I take an honest look at my life I see providence. My life is a web, one thread after another, of fortunate occurrences that I have had nothing to do with. Mind you I do have free will and have had to make decisions throughout my journey, but the overriding opportunities seem to have the fingerprints of another.

And so yes I often feel blessed. Yeah, it rains from time to time, but even the occasional darkness always gives way to light sooner or later, and the underlying fact is that each day is beautiful in it’s own way, and there lies the blessing.

I Can’t…

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

I just hate to hear someone say I can’t. As in, I can’t do this; I can’t do that; I can’t say that. In a world of ambiguity that word just rings of negativity. Whenever I hear some say I can’t, I hear God say I can.

When you move irrelevant
When you’re the hued elephant
When you hear yourself exclaiming, “I can’t!”
Walk in Canaan

I’m Willing To Do You Will

Describe your life in an alternate universe.

Haha, most of the time I actually feel like I’m living in an alternate universe. I don’t adhere to so many of this world’s ways. I find it hard to wrap my mind around the changing social, political and economic landscape. And since I’m willing to do the will of God, I’m constantly challenged to live in what feels like an an alternate universe.

I’m willing to do your will
I’m living to live your love
I’m serving the son to hear you one day say well done
I’m willing to do your will

Pray On

Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.

As I took this prompt to heart, I found that whatever story I came upon enticed me to pray. As a man of faith I’m always drawn to pray when I hear or read a story. Either out of joy or concern, there always seems to be good reason to be in momentary prayer.

Peace lies in the heart of the believer
Calm lies in the hands of compassion
Love lies in the words of the one
who’ll pray on, so pray on
~ E.M.
