God—you’re my God! I can’t get enough of you!
I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God,
traveling across dry and weary deserts.
– David, a king
Psalm 63, The Message
::
. . . to look seemeth the poor man’s privilege,
since he may, for nothing and without hire,
behold the sun.
– Samuel Rutherford
quoted in Spurgeon’s Treasury of David

MAKING HEADROOM chronicles a year 
Sweeten someone's day, courtesy of the fine confectioners of WordCandy.
I'm a writer. I'm also a claims adjuster, helping people and insurance companies make sense of loss. I work out of my home in the rural Midwest most days, and other days, out of yours. When I'm not crunching numbers or scaling small buildings, you can find me with a cup of gentle tea (or, on rough days, four shots of espresso) and a book on my sofa.
I'm an editor at Tweetspeak Poetry, a premier play-place for poets, word lovers, artists and photographers. We're home to a poetry daily (Every Day Poems) and an award-winning press (T. S. Poetry Press) which boasts an Oprah Magazine Best Summer Read. We're also the fine confectioners of WordCandy.me where you can share sweetness with someone special or the whole world.
I also write occasionally at www.LylaWillinghamLindquist.com, where you can also learn more about WordPress design services I offer.

One of my favorite Psalms — Love the picture with the sun blanketing the dessert!

Maybe we have to be dry and weary for desire to do its work, to eat and drink of Him deeply, not just doing it rote. That is a splendid photo. Did you get that one on your trek this week? I love the light dots.

Behold the sun… for free.
Behold the Son… free for me.
p.s. testing to see if my comments show up now… <3

Dry and weary deserts. Hmmmm…. Sometimes that’s what it takes.

When life is stressful, I live in the Psalms — Filled with rejoicing and describing our loving and protective Father and crying our/their hearts out. Adding a photo that fits right in is also a blessing.

Our poverty becomes riches as we behold Him.
