See The Small Things: Wonder & Worship

We sipped our tea and read a poem about children whose eyes notice more than adult eyes because they’re closer to the ground.  I closed the app on my phone (I wish I could have said “closed the book”) and sipped the tea slow. “What does this poem say to …

God’s World: An Autumnal Poem

“Lord, I do fear Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year;” This phrase from Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “God’s World,” perfectly describes my delight for Minnesota autumns.  As we give way to snowy and cold days, I know that I’ll find delight in those as well.  For now, however, …
