About treadin' on high

I have made some very bad choices in my lifetime and those choices took me to some places I had no business going. In January of '94, I became a new creature in Christ. And I have learned no matter what I'm going thru, as long as it is God's will, it's far better than one second of my own! He has a plan and I desire more than anything to be a part of it. I am.....always seeking truth!

the great rescue

Posted on November 24, 2019 by treadin' on high

So this elfchen poem is a prayer answered. It’s a complete about face. And it’s made possible by the ultimate ‘rescue’. When Jesus willingly went to the cross, he became Rescuer to us all. He visited the depths of hell … Continue reading →

forlorn no more

Posted on November 20, 2019 by treadin' on high

Just an ‘elfchen’ challenge. Isn’t it great news that we don’t have to be/stay forlorn if we have the Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts and our lives? Though I usually read the NIV, sometimes I just need the KJV … Continue reading →

garden of my soul

Posted on November 12, 2019 by treadin' on high

I’m not quite as messy as this poem suggests…most days anyway. Thankfully Jesus died because he knew I’d be messy, inside. Romans 5:8 comforts us – “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still … Continue reading →
