“A great cloud of witnesses,” it’s pure speculation, but here are my thoughts
June 24, 2008

A song we sang tonight (okay, it was actually now a couple weeks ago) at devotional made some thoughts pass through my head and now I wish to share them. What if “eternity” hasn’t begun yet, that the scene of heaven shared in Revelation is not yet occurring. I guess I am of [...]

Kindred Spirits, those alike and those who complete…a poem, of sorts
June 24, 2008

Twice I have met myself
dwelt in another body
Two times I have let them fade away from me
