Winter’s Grace: A Poem

I was once caught, unexpectedly, by a snowstorm.
The first flurries were a warm invitation.
The forest went quiet. I stood still.
It’s in moments like these that I withdraw.

It’s why I visit his creation.

It calls me to be introspective. To listen.
My heart was heavy, burdened by sin and lies.
The whirling, weightless flakes invited me to their dance.
My heart fluttered, weightless as well.	
Lost in the majesty that swirled about then fell delicately to earth,
    blanketing the leaves and underbrush, my shoulders and nose.
There was nothing else, only beauty.

The passing of a season.

The frail and failing foliage of autumn lost to the covering mantel of frozen white.

I was then caught, unexpectedly, by God’s grace.
The revelation of truth was a warm invitation.
The world went quiet. I stood still.
It’s in moments like these, that I withdraw.

It’s why I visit his throne.

He calls me to be introspective. To listen.
My heart was heavy, burdened by sin and lies.
The easy, weightless yoke invited me to his communion.
My heart fluttered, weightless as well.
Lost in the forgiveness that swirled within then fell delicately to earth,
    blanketing my wounds and blemishes, my guilt and shame.
There was nothing else, only beauty.

The passing of a season.

The frail and failing flesh of Adam lost to the covering mantel of sanctifying grace.

The death of Death. 
Oh, the beauty of his sovereignty…
How beautiful his grace.
Introducing The King’s Elite & The Ebon Crow

Introducing The King’s Elite & The Ebon Crow

Just as the title suggests I’d like to introduce the fourth and final book of the King’s Elite series, The Ebon Crow. The Ebon Crow is still in the works. Turns out that wrapping up a four book series is hard, or at least has proven difficult for me. Even though I’m still ironing out… Continue Reading

Fire

Fire

Monday’s usually go pretty well for us here at the Kay household. We like to go big for the workweek’s first breakfast, which means we eat bagels- Lots of them. Owen, our 2 1/2 year old, knows the drill, and ashamedly has come to be a bit entitled for a blueberry bagel, toasted, with an almond… Continue Reading

My Mountain

My Mountain

It’s been a long time. Too long. I’d grown complacent with my stuffy air, hot coffee and spinning office chair. I forgot what it’s like to step from  my comforts and test myself.  The reward of taking on a challenge outweighed the risk of vulnerability. Deep right?  Yeah, well that’s what happens when you climb a… Continue Reading

Ode to Snot

Snot. So much snot… Where does it come from? Is my child’s brain melting and draining from his nose? That’s what it looks like. Two green columns flowing from each nostril to his chest. Good thing they’ve come up with a medicine for this, but oh wait… That’s all over his face too; a pink… Continue Reading

The Golden Feather and God’s Love

I got a good laugh in the other day watching my son play. We were both on the floor, he was trying to put something larger than his head into his mouth. He stopped and gave me a big grin. I then told him that I love him.  His eyes narrowed on me like he… Continue Reading

Tribute to Mom

It being Mother’s day, I thought it appropriate to write a tribute to all the mom’s out there. My perspective of motherhood has widened since my son was born. Being a father, I now have a more accurate understanding of the cost to love a child unconditionally.  To think I have to keep this same… Continue Reading

Five Ways to Combat the Stay-at-Home Blues

I’m no pro, but I’ve done the stay-at-home gig long enough to understand the Stay-at-Home Blues. As parents, we love our kids and cherish the opportunity we have to spend each day with them, but every once in a while we can find ourselves stuck in a depressed rut. Some wish they had more time… Continue Reading
