The Rural Missourian

These are the musings, aphorisms, and reflections of a grizzle-bearded pastor and novice historian living in the wooded hills of rural Missouri or Mizzurah as some put it in these parts. Included, as I am able to mine the riches of history, are the musings of various pioneers who, through toilsome work and dogged determination, blazed the difficult paths that built our once prosperous, agrarian culture. Soli Deo Gloria!

Wry Bread

The Lord has blessed our small community with Jan Wyller, a resident poet and native Missourian, no less. The two make a great combination. I am pleased to announce that her first set of poems -- Wry Bread – Uncommon Thoughts on Common Themes -- has been published. As her pastor and editor, it is a real joy to see her faith and God given talents bear fruit. Here is one of my favorites:

No vagrant graces
caught by each alone,
These, and more,
from His Providence come down:

Invincible gratitude,
locked-in peace,
Sewn fast forever
in the hearts
Of those He owns.

James 1:17, 3:17-18

If you would like to purchase a copy for $10 you can write Jan at PO Box 196, Rayville, Missouri 64084.
