Prose //

Aside from thought itself, writing is the most natural way of expression for me. Here are some excerpts taken mostly from letters and journal entries. Feel free to read or listen to it. Let me know what you think.

The Safest Soldiers are the Dead Ones
God's Will for Our Lives
The Refined Soul and Spirit

Christ Makes Men Unhappy

When Should the Cell Divide

Music Worthy of the Name

A Life of Enacted Intentions

A Bride for Isaac
 

An illustrated children's book: The Straw Haired Girl

 

   
Poetry //

Most of my older poetry has been taken down because the content did little to glorify anything godly.

Empty stems

We have our conversations
