Grandmother's and guns

When going through some old photos, I found the strangest thing... a photograph of my grandmother... with a gun! This was probably on the farm that she grew up on, and of course, this would have been the norm for her back then. But still, the sight of this photo was shocking! (-:

A Rose is a Rose

The desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and singing. - Isaiah 35:1-2

Oasis

Be my Oasis, Lord.
Satisfy my thirst.
Fill me up
to overflowing.

My journey through
the desert
has been long
and tiring.
I am dry.
I want to
rest in You -
in the shelter of Your
wings, in the
comfort of Your hand.

I long for
Your
living waters.
I know that
they will satisfy
every ounce
of my being.

Restore my life,
cleanse me,
make me pure.
Make me more
like You.
I need You
to be
my Oasis.

Come ye to the waters, and I will give you rest. - Isaiah 55:1

Crimson Rain

In the distance
I can hear You
Rolling in
The approaching rain.
Flood my life now
I can feel You
Pouring in
The approaching rain.

In the distance
I can see You
Rolling in
The approaching rain.
Flood my life now
With Your power -
Pour on me
The approaching rain.

Rain on me.
Wash me clean.
Make me pure.
Open wide the flood gates
Of Your love.

Rain on me.
Overwhelm me,
Drown me,
Fill me,
Consume me
With Your
Crimson Rain.
