The Seasons: A Poem

Posted by on
Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

2017 Advent Scripture Study Details and Resources

Posted by on
I told you it would fly by and now we are just hours away from the beginning of Advent and our 2017 Advent Scripture Study.

Please feel free to join us and invite others to do so.  Think of it as a group Bible study with some of your closest friends.  We gather each day with a cup of coffee, read the readings for the day, and then discuss.  We share our thoughts on the passages, insights, prayer requests, encouragements, and more.

Below you will find some updated information to help make this year's study the best yet.





Facebook Group Page - This where a majority of participants will be sharing.  If you don't have a Facebook account or would rather not be on Facebook during Advent, feel free to read and comment each day on our daily blog postings here.





United States Conference of Catholic Bishops - This is one of the easiest places to find the readings for each day during Advent.  If you will be using a mobile device, you may also consider using the Laudate App or another Bible App.



4 Simple Steps to Better Scripture Meditations (paperback) - It's not too late to order the book if you so desire.  We can usually ship it out the same day you order.  This book provides a method for meditation each day.  It also includes workbook and journal pages for 31 days.

4 Simple Steps to Better Scripture Meditations(Amazon Kindle) - This is the book above in it's basic format without the journaling and workbook pages.  This is a great option to use with the 4 Simple Steps Worksheet.  (It will be FREE on Amazon Kindle December 2nd & 3rd, 2017, just for this study)

4 Simple Steps Worksheet - This is the 4 Simple Steps in one-page worksheet format.  It's a free download so you can print as many as you like or just print one and use a notebook to journal in.
