My cell phone cheerfully rings early in the morning. I grumble, complain, and whine at the very alarm that I had set the night before. I stumble around trying to find my shoes, grab a quick breakfast, head out the door, fight traffic, and arrive just in time for my work shift to [...]]]></description>

by Lydia Rule
Happily summer begins
Quickly summer ends
Choices are made
Foundations laid
We sing, dance, and play
But at the end of the day
What did we do or say
To honor our Lord, in every way?
Waves come ashore
Then flee with a roar
Our life oft the same
Leaving as quickly as it came.
What time we possess
Give not to selfish caress
Lift your eyes [...]]]></description>

By Lydia Rule, RTF Staff Writer
Two big brown eyes stared at me. One pink tongue hungrily licked its furry chops. I looked down at my dog, who was salivating in wonder at my cereal bowl.
“It’s empty,” I told him, “There’s nothing left for you. See? There’s isn’t any leftovers.”
He continued to stare, beg, and jump [...]]]></description>

Is more than lillies
More than choir songs
More than outward dress
And crowds by the throng
 
It&#8217;s a cold filthy grave
That barren remains
It&#8217;s the rise of One
Who took away our stains
 
Easter is joyous news-
A pile of grave clothes
A stone out of place
Evidence that He rose

(Proverbs 1:20-33)
Waiting in the streets
To rescue from night
Wisdom cries, for people
To follow The Light
Wisdom shoved aside;
People running past
“Listen to my fated plea!
Listen to truth at last!”
Wisdom speaks loudly
Through many voices
Of those around you
Forewarning choices
To the daughter who tries
To hid truth’s ugly head
Hurting her family
Remorse is soon fed
To the girl inside [...]]]></description>
