When ‘life’ threatens to happen, and ‘times’ plot mischief.
Ploys and schemes, no matter how intricate,

Are There Enough…?
Are there words enough,
To describe the works of His hands;
To list and ascribe the honour due Him

It is making the effort, and finding by wisdom the choice that leaves both yourself and others unscathed.” – Makafui.

How am I baffled now, when I felt I understood this not long ago?
Father, please, help me; For it would be a shame to get lost, in such familiar territory.
