Fair are the woodlands,
Robed in flow'rs of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer;
Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorr'wing spirits sing.

A blend of original and existing poetry (from public domain literature & original translations from the Bible from the Bible) that speaks the Christian message through the idioms of nature. Occasional essays explaining nature-related matters in the Bible. Nature photography and art, both original and in the public domain. Old posts never become "old news."
