I found myself in garden. A vast garden, filled with rows and rows of plants and trees and flowers. As I looked around, I saw that some parts of the garden seemed well kept, planted correctly and properly watered. But in other areas, weeds grew wild and plants looked eaten by by wild animals or…
“I don’t like the look of those clouds out there.” Peter and John were both sitting at the front of the boat together as the disciples rowed across the lake. Peter was pointing out to the mountains beyond the sea as he remarked on the sky’s ominous threat. John moved closer to Peter to get…
I find myself on a road. I’ve been down this way here before but it’s somehow different this time. But I’m not sure exactly how. This time, the road seems narrower. Did I have a map? Or have I been lead by someone this whole time? I pause from my long journey and take a…

I was caught, mesmerized by it. Once I saw it, I could not look away. It was too beautiful, too glorious. Here I was, just hiking along my predetermined path when I saw it, a beauty and a glow that I could not ignore. I saw it gleam through the rocks next to me and…
