About Arrow

Hi and welcome! My pen name is Arrow. The word “arrow” intrigues me because it has two meanings that describe my passions. One, it is an instrument used intentionally to reach a target, and two, it shows the way. As a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, my goals are to live for Him, lead others to Him, and glorify the Heavenly Father. I pray that the stories, poems, song lyrics, and devotional thoughts I share on this website will always be inspired by the Holy Spirit and aligned with the truths found in God’s Word. My hope is that the words may penetrate your heart and point the way to a closer relationship with the Savior. I look forward to sharing my journey with you. Experiencing what God has in store is bound to be exciting! May you be blessed! ~ Arrow

Garden Well

Posted on October 25, 2023 by Arrow

Ah! After a long dry spell, there is nothing better than clouds that send blessings of rain. Rain waters the earth and makes it bud and flourish. Withering plants are revived to produce seeds which eventually yield a harvest for … Continue reading →

Look Up!

Posted on October 18, 2023 by Arrow

Admit it. Sometimes life is difficult. Our mind is filled with recounting burdens, unfair situations, and circumstances beyond our control. One summer day as I took a dip in the pool, I noticed our area was surrounded by low, gray … Continue reading →

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Arrow

How do you respond when someone tells you about a new mouth-watering place to eat or a ‘must-see’ movie? Sometimes, we’re all in and eager to check out their recommendation. Other times, we make note of it or politely nod, … Continue reading →

Wrong Way Fatalities

Posted on September 20, 2023 by Arrow

Arizona, like many states, is experiencing a growing number of wrong-way driver fatalities. I was surprised to learn that more than half of these deaths occurred in rural areas and not surprised that the majority of drivers were highly intoxicated. … Continue reading →

Take Interest

Posted on September 13, 2023 by Arrow

A theme at one of our local churches is “Take Notice, Take Interest.” The motto is printed on t-shirts and signs to remind attendees to be aware of and make time for others. I considered this theme after I worked … Continue reading →
