Faith – Mike Bergman

Eternal Haze

Gaze into the eternal Haze of glory, but a glimpse Across the universe, an unfathomable Force that stirs the heights of Imagination, the dreams of all Creation coalescing into songs of Praise, awestruck at amazing Grace that illuminates, an unending Blaze

Alive and Risen

The dark behind, the light aheadWe wander through the in-betweenListening for whispers in the windOf “Alive and risen” The dark behind, the light aheadWe migrate toward the Land of DawnWith a growing chorus of cheersShouting “Alive and risen!”

The Sacrifice

A desert of discord A haunt of demons A wasteland of war Bitterness floods Hate burns red Tears soak the earth We wait, we wait In longing In desperation In hope that we’ve lost Until we see the sun Until the dawn breaks Until the darkness flees From the Sacrifice

Dear H, It’s fun watching you as you near one. When music plays and you hear the rhythm, it doesn’t really matter what it is, you grin and start to dance. They’re silly baby dances, but you have fun. Something happens to most of us when we grow up. We stop dancing, at least inContinue reading “Dance to the Music in Your Heart (Letters to My Son)”

Pursue Happiness (Letters to My Son)

Dear H, Life is hard. You’ll figure that out in time. So, here is one of the best pieces of advice I can give you in light of that: Pursue happiness, the best you can.

God Is Relentless (Letters to My Son, “Five Things” part 5)

Dear H, There are five things in life that I always want you to remember. The fifth is this: God is relentless. You’re almost one. You love to be chased and tickled.
