I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.

Bear this Yoke

April 15, 2021

Jesus invites us

To share His yoke,

a yoke built on freedom

to walk His lighted path, giving

freedom from mundane promises,

freedom of artificial reality,

free of fear and loss.

A yoke of listening to

God who know us truly,

opening doors for us to

fearlessly walk through.

We enter greeted by Jesus,

eternal life awaits,

our comfort by God’s Truth.

We no longer fear our trials;

we are eased in heart and soul -

to live our life in confidence,

in peace, in love, and in truth . . .

Without fear . . .
