Our Fallen World

By Seth Gatchell | November 10, 2025

Once we did have Eden, garden of paradise, Dreams of utopia, Adam and Eve were nice. Lands of milk and honey, Love’s creation gave birth, Beauty, majesty, life, rejoiced through all the Earth.   Creator created, such wonder filled the sky. Sun and moon, clouds and stars, birds majestically fly. Beauty of a garden, orange…

HAUNTING

By Seth Gatchell | November 7, 2025

There is a deep haunting echoing in the heart. From deep in heart’s caverns, a treasured missing part. No matter what we think, no matter what we do, What is that missing part? We haven’t got a clue.   Human eyes can’t see with twenty-twenty vision, Our soul’s deepest desire and God’s great provision. Can…

The Anchor

By Seth Gatchell | October 14, 2025

Warship at the mercy of the waves, Heaving skyward, plunging seaward, in search of watery graves? The waves ripped off the rudder in the fierce Atlantic gale! And the hurricane-like wind just broke off the main sail!   The strong gulf current will surge us far out to sea! While the safe harbor behind us,…

Quietly sat, rapt attention, Connection’s joy, His expression! To see His face, and hear His heart, Such rich delight, never depart.   (Luke 10:38-42)

Is There a Love?

By Seth Gatchell | August 11, 2025

Oh, can it be, a love, that conquers death and fear? A love that transforms us? A love that’s always near? A love that surrounds us? A love that never leaves? A love upholding us? A love, that with us grieves?   A love that shines on truth, that conquers our darkness? Love that finds…

ASPIRATIONS

By Seth Gatchell | August 5, 2025

When I hate my sin more than my pain, And love what I give more than what I gain.   When I value sacrifice more than “success,” And how I serve more than how to impress.   When I value faithfulness more than fame, My reputation more than the hearing my name.   When I…
