I recorded this poem a year ago but balked at sharing it. The camera scares me. Yes, those are real birds and this minute and a half video is unedited. I perched my friend’s tripod atop some rocks in the woods to record it with my iPhone 5. My hope is to bring the outside, inside, and perhaps encourage you to head outdoors and become a noticer, to see God’s hand in His creation, spend a few moments with Him there. Out of the dark days of winter, new life emerges in spring.
So too God gives us new beginings, new life from death, healing and purpose from pain, and calm admist chaos when we yield to Him. See how creation praises the Creator and be instructed.

I look forward to sharing the new documentary on the #CivilRights movement and the leaders at its forefront, For all the Saints, as soon as the Andrew Young Foundation completes the set-up for the special limited time pay-per-view link. If you missed my video interview with Civil Rights icon Ambassador Andrew Young in my last post or wish to share it, you can watch it HERE. (Audio option available beneath the video.)
You may access my interviews with law enforcement officers HERE. (Two posted to date, another ready to release shortly and several lined up.:)

- Delay & Divine DirectionWhen the road stretches longer than expected and delays and detours abound, we dare not deter from the right path.
