Through the night's long strolling watch, moonlight glints fiercely off wind-quivering woodgems. 'Tis a sight to behold, truly, and well-worth the hours of solitude spent in my lonely patrol. Yet nothing, nothing, in this world begins to compare with the searing, golden joy winging through to my core as the sun slips over the horizon each morning, setting the jeweled leaves ablaze in riotous light, wrapping me in blinding warmth. The promise of that moment compels and sustains me through the dark hours of each night. Its fulfillment daily renews my resolve. I am the Guardian of the Gem Woods. What began as a means to practice discipline in writing... by the grace of God, has transformed into a means to practice discipline in life. "Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth...And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another...And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ..." Jn. 17:17; 2 Cor. 3:18 a; Phil.1:6

Sunrise : In 100 Words
Through the night's long strolling watch, moonlight glints fiercely off wind-quivering woodgems. 'Tis a sight to behold, truly, and well-worth the hours of solitude spent in my lonely patrol.
