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

The Problem with Truth    

Posted on July 9, 2025 by Arrow

I read the most interesting sentence the other day found in The True Jesus by David Limbaugh. (Yes, the brother of the late Rush Limbaugh.) In discussing the message of Jesus, the author said, “[S]ome would accept it and others … Continue reading →

Responsibilities of Freedom

Posted on July 2, 2025 by Arrow

The Fourth of July or Independence Day reminds Americans of their great freedoms. I heard a pastor share that a uniformed soldier once told him, “Don’t thank me for my service. Thank me for your freedom.” Something worth considering. Freedom … Continue reading →

A Cup of Hope

Posted on June 4, 2025 by Arrow

I’d like a cup of hope, please. Wouldn’t that be a nice way to jumpstart your day? Is hope something I can stir up when feeling discouraged? Where can I find it? The NIV Study Bible describes hope as “unshakable … Continue reading →
