A unusually warm fall day in Northwest Arkansas led to a great day of hiking at Devil’s Den State Park. With the fall colors bursting, everything was beautiful. I love God’s creation.

White River Fishing Fall 2023
What a beautiful morning at Beaver Dam on the White River. It was a crisp morning with the leaves changing and fall colors exploding. Doesn’t get much better than this. I enjoy the solitude of this spot in Northwest Arkansas. Caught 7 Rainbow Trout on Berkeley Powerbait (Bubblegum with Garlic Scent) and 2 inch Gulp Worms. They were hitting both of these pretty good.

A Wounded Heart – POEM
All of us experience wounded hearts. We feel pain that is often caused by those closest to us. But God has healing for our broken hearts. He provided His Son, to minister to us in our brokenness. If you are hurting. Jesus understands and will give you peace and healing.
A WOUNDED HEART
There is a pain that is difficult to bear.
Some have said that I shouldn’t even care.
Let it go, forget about the wrong that was done,
But I remember it happened to me, more than just once.
It is ever on my mind and the wound breaks my heart,
It drove a wedge between us, it drove us far apart.
With the offender, I was counted as a friend,
How could they hurt me, over and over again?
Will the pain ever cease? Will this hurt ever decrease?
If time heals all wounds, Why does this hurt seem so new?
But then I see a glimmer of hope, from one so pure,
With nails in his hands and feet, I think I see a cure.
He paid the price for my healing and for my hurt,
It is only His blood, through His suffering, that this will work.
So, I release my pain to the one who died for me,
So that from this aching wound I might finally be free.
