MIDNIGHT MOUNTAIN REFLECTIONS
Moonlight on Crane Mountain,*
Godly glow around…
Take stock of blessings
Listening creation sounds.
–
Cool as dew has fallen,
Not cold enough to freeze…
Hear the Master calling:
Love Me more than these?
–
Wood stove warms against the cold,
Sit we either side…
Talking far into the night
In our Lord’s love abide!
–Jonathan Caswell
* Crane Mountain, in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York (U.S.A.) .
HAWKEYE, JUST BARELY.
A leaf fell down through the trees,
Under the riverbank he sees…
In a moment or two
Water current brings it through,
Riding the water, not breeze.
–
Picnics by riversides are restful,
And value of eyesight is testable…
Even though we’ve no need
To stay up to speed,
Having down time is good for the successful.
–
Watching leaves fall through trees is no crime,
As long as we get back on time…
We don’t need to capture fish
To enjoy a wholesome dish,
But to appreciate God’s Creation is prime.
–Jonathan Caswell
NATURE DITTY
Froggies and fish rejoice,
Your Maker gives you no choice…
But to sing praise,
To the Lord Most High raise
His glories in light of your noise.
–
Son of Man–Son of God,
The difference to some seems odd…
But as Son of Man,
He showed us we can
Have compassion where that is outlawed.
–
Son of Man…forgave…
As we must do and be brave,
Walking in trust
Not gathering rust…
Not allowing souls to stay unsaved!
–Jonathan Caswell
IN THE DRAWER
Three cameras sit in the drawer,
Wondering what they are for…
Only one can flash
For a party crash…
But I don’t attend those anymore!
–
It’s tempting to photograph women,
But my wife might not like that as given…
So I’ll photograph trees,
Trains and honeybees
As created by my God in heaven.

“MISSION STATEMENT”
The purpose in establishing this BLOG is to allow me to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in my own way. It is not a matter of growing up, but my being ready to come out from being under an overseer, as the Bible puts it somewhere. Instead of working solely to build up their readership—this doesn’t stop me from still posting there, if they let me—but I feel it is time to fledge (develop for flying) my own wings!
God once was involved with everything His Creation was…He still is, but it’s largely hidden in this fallen world. I wish to reinsert Him, or at least open minds up to the possibility of God being the Creator and being greatly pleased with His creation (us). and loves us very much. are we perfect? Not yet! Can we become so, by God’s grace, YES!!! Come visit and see how this old codger (a nickname from college) is doing.
Come back soon!—Jonathan Caswell 🙂
P.S.—I am a former redhead, but still have freckles and a few tendrils of “red” (one or two in the middle of the forehead that poke me in the eye if I let them!). Hence the reference to the Google Image below:
