Why subscribe?

Subscribe to get two original poems each week.

Each weekend I will post a poem inspired by passage of Christian scripture.

Each Wednesday I will post a new poem with a spiritual slant.  

The weekend scripture passages will come from the common lectionary readings used in many churches.

I want to open windows with a the freshening  breeze of the Spirit blowing through. As a subscriber you can participate in the chat and have access to the publication archives.

“If you write for God you will reach many and bring them joy.

If you write for people you may make some money and you may give someone a little joy and you may make a noise in the world, for a little while.

If you write only for yourself, you can read what you yourself have written and after ten minutes you will be so disgusted you will wish that you were dead.” Thomas Merton
