 The Search                                                           by Danny C. Wash I climbed a mountain high that took me up into the sky -but I did not find it there. I came down into a valley low to see what I could find below -but I did not find it there. I crossed the desert far following nothing but a star -but I did not find it there. I sailed across a very deep sea searching for what would satisfy me. -but I did not find it there. Where could there be peace of mind, which is what I was seeking to find. All this time that I did seek and roam there was no need to even leave my home,  for the answer was in the Savior’s vineyard. To abide in His vine & receive the reward.

 Life is Hard but God is Good                                                 By Danny C. Wash Life is hard but God is good. The strong wind blows trouble to accomplish what it should; sometimes His acts are not so subtle and they explode our comfortable world with torrential rain smashing at our hope and then the wind comes & away it’s hurled.

 The Bridge of Forgetfulness     by Danny C. Wash                                                                                                                              As I drive my car across the bridge out of my day and into the night, each problem of the day swirls up like  smoke from a smoldering campfire. The iridescent colors of the trees changing  as I pass, calm my troubling thoughts as a  large egret erupts from the trees and lets her  wings lift her upward from the nest. Like  the bird, the problems of my day also begin  flying from my mind, as I leave the bridge  and drive into my other world, and into the  forgetfulness of the evening, until tomorrow  when they sit there waiting for me to come  back across the bridge into my new day.
