Jack's thought of the day:

A ship without a rudder
ends on the rocks.
A ship at sea
with the captain on shore
is a ludicrous joke.




DAILY PRAYER:

Holy Spirit, Transform me into the person you want me to be
.

Poetic Light Thoughts
by Jack E. Albright


(first thought)
I cannot be a lighthouse
tall and strong
guiding ships amidst their storms.
But I can let my little light
brighten my corner of the night.

(second thought)
Who will God send to me today?
One who needs a guiding light
seeks a light along their way
need a candle in their night?

(third thought)
Jesus is the Light of the world.
I am a small reflector.
Mirrors do not run on batteries
but must keep their faces clean 
and aim their beam
where darkness breeds.
