Road Notes: Lakeside Serenity by the Waters of Vernon and Anacoco

The road bends west through Vernon Parish, carrying us past pines and hardwoods that meet above like clasped hands. These are the kinds of drives that invite quiet—no rush of interstate noise, just the hum of tires and the sudden flash of sun through branches.

I came across a writing prompt recently that immediately drew me in: What is going on in chapter 1, verses 6-12 in the Book of Job? It was simple, almost whimsical, like a question tossed into the air—but it drew me straight in to that sobering scene where heaven’s court gathers and the Accuser shows up.ContinueContinue reading “Job, the Accuser, and Lessons for Dark Days”
