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

Ugh! My mind was awhirl. I awoke way to early, hit with a reminder of one of the previous day’s failures, something I should not have said, or should have said or done differently, followed by a full-blown attack with … Continue reading →

Neighborly

Posted on November 4, 2020 by Arrow

When driving through my neighborhood this last month, I couldn’t help but notice the political signs dotting many front yards. (The same is probably true of your area.) While we do have the opportunity to vote in America, we do … Continue reading →

Spur On

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Arrow

This verse from Hebrews came to mind this week: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (10:24). I decided to query my horse-loving, horse-owner/rider friend about the role of spurs. She … Continue reading →

What time is it anyway? It is always time for something! Time to get up or go to bed. Time to go to work, school, or church. Time to begin a project or end a vacation. Time to plant or … Continue reading →

No Footprints

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Arrow

Couples walking hand in hand, joggers getting in their daily run, and children racing the waves back and forth, all leaving footprints on the shore. Muddy footprints mark a rainy day and the footprints of grandkids running through wet grass … Continue reading →

Things Above

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Arrow

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” Colossians 3:2. Things above? You mean like cirrus clouds, draping power lines, and planes leaving white trails across the blue sky? No. Things above, as in the things of God. … Continue reading →

Why Gather?

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Arrow

To gather … or not to gather, that is the question. Or more importantly, why do believers gather at all? In looking back at the early church, we see that Christ followers met to hear the apostles’ teaching, to have … Continue reading →

Crowd Influence

Posted on September 23, 2020 by Arrow

“… but everyone else … is doing it/has one/gets to …” And the traditional response is … “If ____ jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?” I thought about the influence of the crowd recently when studying Acts … Continue reading →

Butting In

Posted on September 16, 2020 by Arrow

Somewhere … in the back of her mind, she vaguely recalled there was a plan, but now that plan seemed absolutely inappropriate and impossible! What difference would it make if she had an idea to make her dream and God’s … Continue reading →
