From Morning to Night

From Morning to Night by Becky Gonzalez Hosanna-filled shouts from the crowd start the day, “O Lord, save us.” The same crowds that witnessed the dead being raised. Signs and wonders, palm branches and a donkey colt. Prophecy fulfilled, and glimpses of glory. Then prediction of a crucifixion. “The time has come.” The storm-tossed soulContinue reading “From Morning to Night”

Sweet Anticipation

Sweet Anticipation by Laura Birnie The sun is much brighter than it has been these past few months, a promise of more warmth to come. The snow is slowly melting away, watering the soil.

A Garden of Words

A Garden of Words by Ashlyn McKayla Ohm Was the news scary, you ask? Well, of course it was, and how could it not be? I am a grower of ideas, after all.

Her hair is long, she’s got a leaner body, an easy elegance in herContinue reading “Now Found”

Goodness Still Grows

Goodness Still Grows by Diana Gruver That spring, I desperately wanted a baby, but I planted tomatoes instead. We were midway through our infertility journey at the time, sorting through our grief over something we’d never actually possessed. Little did I know that in just over a year, I’d find out I was pregnant. WeContinue reading “Goodness Still Grows”

Two Poems

Two Poems by Elizabeth Hudgens justice rendered the image i carry perhaps skewed by my western mind sees You as Judge robed sitting high and distant disgusted looking down with gavel raised ready to hammer home a ruling declaring every way i have fallen short in rebellious rigor but this vision itself lands far southContinue reading “Two Poems”

Wondrous Revelation

Wondrous Revelation by Haley Donaldson Colors are a wondrous revelation I am constantly in wonder and awe The wild and extraordinary depths From the smoky peach skies of summer To the icy white glitter of winter The enlightening warm glow of the sun Peeping above the cascading mountains Spewing colors of golden pinks, oranges yellowsContinue reading “Wondrous Revelation”
