“How to Rise Again”
Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “You Are the Light” by Denise Rosier: “You change dust into gardens, pieces into peace, tears into fountains, chains into release.

“How to Hallelujah”
Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “Hallelujah Today!” by Denise Rosier: “Running till my bones are aching, pushing past the point of breaking, The road is long but I will make it, that’s who I am.

How to Walk on Water
Leddy Hammock Lyric/poem inspired by “Leap of Faith” by Sue Riley (words by Sue Riley and Leddy Hammock): Long before the morning, not yet light enough to see, darkest before the dawning, Your love can still find me.

“Love that Winning Team”
Leddy Hammock You might win a battle, you could win a race. Out run your rivals, come in first place. You could lose your center in the push and the shove, or simply surrender and tune into love.

“Loving Your Inner-Mes”
Leddy Hammock The LORD, our God, is One and God is Love. With love in my heart, I give love away. It all comes back and makes a better day. My only “enemies” are anger and fear thoughts.

“Everything Changes”
Leddy Hammock “Used to be when things got crazy, I’d get to feeling low. But, I found out I can’t let that phase me …. Sometimes we all feel disconnected…. It’s kind of strange, but it’s true: when everything changes, I can change anything. Turning the pages, everything’s new. If life’s little stages are teaching me anything,…
One Day at a Time
Leddy Hammock While I go walkin’, you know I’ll be smiling. The sun’ll be shining,’cause all day long I’m gonna sing my song. I’ve got my problems, my problems, but not today. I’ve got no problems today.”
“How Are We Doin’, Dr. King?”
Leddy Hammock We take to heart these mighty words of The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., spoken in 1963, in our pledge for justice and compassion in every facet of our human interaction and in our spiritual expression: “As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march…

Last Sunday to Let Go
Leddy Hammock “I’m letting go of holding on. God is my shepherd, I shall not want. I’m letting go of holding on. Seeking first the kingdom of God.

We breathe…
“Holy Birth”
Leddy Hammock “Long ago, a child was born . . . who brought the gift of hope to you and me. Even if you don’t believe, there’s still a gift if you receive it from the heart of the Child of peace.

“A Stable Season”
Leddy Hammock “In Bethlehem a manger waits, long ago and so today, Where hatred-weary people pray Love will come and lay there. And so do countless stables stand in hearts as harsh as desert lands, Rough shelters in the wind and sand, so Love will come and stay there –. Love that opens fists of hate, heaps of gold on beggars’ plates, Love that shows a kindly…
“High Watch”
LEDDY HAMMOCK Search the sky for that star—star of light, star of love, bright enough to guide believers from afar. Let there be peace around our troubled world, peace within ourselves.
