This was a poem written for this year‘s Christmas Ever service. Enjoy. “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel…” What a yearning to sing about,What hope we call annually,What a name to implore, pray out… We breathe melodies of old hope, Remembering days that seemed dark, When one could only huddle, mope, And hide against shadows so stark. It’s so easy to … Continue reading Emmanuel: Hope With Us

The more I learn and dig into the details of faith and what it means to live that out, the more I am pointed toward Jesus in scripture, and learning from His life and being. That sounds obvious in some ways, and it is, because the Bible hinges on the Gospel, which is built around … Continue reading Digging Deeper: I Want to Be Jesus-Shaped
This was a poem written for our Kfgt Family Christmas Sunday in 2019. Enjoy. There was Mary, gathering and pond’ring, Drawing close those things near, dear to her heart. So much had happened, between the wand’ring; Her head and heart full with Christ’s imparting. I’m sure she wrestled to grapple the meaning, To come to term with all that … Continue reading From Treasure to Triumph
This was a previous poem written back in 2018 for our Church Family Christmas Production. Enjoy. Simple people given simple words;These shepherds only kept care of bumbly herds. But these were honest folk, With soft spirits despite their rough cloaks. I’m sure they hustled to town all ablaze, Tripping over their words to lay praise.They’d watched something beyond … Continue reading The First Folktale
Joyfully written for our church family Christmas production in December 2017, but also for you. Enjoy. Now ponder this in your heart, those both near and far:What majesty is here, swaddled in newborn art! Millennia ago, a Christmas package arrived,From a wondrous beyond; a history long contrived. The One, the only, He sent us something … Continue reading O Little Town of Everywhere
This was a poem written for our Kfgt Family Christmas Sunday in 2024. Enjoy. Rooms made for waiting are full of tensions; You fight to keep your hope lit, sputtering,The wick suffering from apprehension. You say to yourself you'll have answers soon,Yet questions and doubts bounce between the walls.Paint peels down and your mind is a … Continue reading An Ancient Announcement
This was a poem written for our Kfgt Family Christmas Sunday in 2023. Enjoy. Do you know that glow?The one in a city's night edge?That whispers out a homeward pledge? As your ride rumbles closer,Your spirit swirls soundly,Sensing its nat'ral bound'ry. It's that feeling inside you of still waters,Of waking in a toasty car,Drowsily staring … Continue reading The Glow You Know
This was a poem written for our Kfgt Christmas Eve Service in 2021. Enjoy. I once heard someone softly tell,Of the wonder which flick’ring flames dwell;Smooth and solid as ones of David’s five stones,Her voice shared mem’ries - things stamped deep in our bones.Of life and light she freely shared,And how it draws, casts, lulls, … Continue reading Storied Light
This was a poem written for the 2022 Kfgt Christmas production, "O What a Glorious Night." Enjoy. “This is the story of a Saviour born…”So the Gospel starts, then picks up the pace.If human hearts had penned about that morn,We could not have built such a stabled grace.For the turns and twists this story always … Continue reading Let Your Expectations Crumble
Joyfully written for Kfgt's 2020 Christmas Eve Service. You’re stepping forward on a red carpet,Noiselessly soft among the lush velvet.This tapestry shimmers a true, pure white,When you squint, and glimpse it in Cross-shaped light. It reminds you of skirts that dress needly trees,From sweet-smelling days, laced with laughter,That you’ve asked if you could preserve, and … Continue reading It’s a Velvet Life
