About Me
 
  -------------------------------------
 
About Me:
I am a born again Christian, 61 year young great-grandmother. I love to write poetry to give others hope and to spread the news about my precious Savior. I have had my share of problems,but I know from pwrsonal experience, that God is able and will help you through the troubles He allows you to go through. I also have the desire to publish my poetry in a style of my favorite poetess, Helen Steiner Rice. After this is done, I wish to write books to help HDLD grade school children to learn better through repitition and through stories designed to entice them to read, learn and have fun at the same time. I have already penned two short stories.

Oh my! What evil lurks in the hearts of men! I say breaking the law is evil, you know you broke the law when you steal our minds and hearts with these kind of writes. Good one guy, keep that poetic ink spilling all over da place.

 Commented on the poem "A Moment Of Despair" on 11/19/09 at 11:11 AM
You have to know, this is my favorite graphic ever. It so perfectly tells of my life and relationship with the LORD. He has carried me away from my despair, without my knowledge of it until it was all over. Oh my GOD, here comes the tears, in gratitude for all HE has done. Thanks for the reminder, it was magic.

 Commented on the poem "The Homeless Are People Too" on 11/17/09 at 12:21 PM
Now you know this is spoken word! So honest, so true, so sincere,and so deserving as well. I think GOD in HIS infinate wisdom would have put people in other places if they were any different. HE did make other places too, such as the planets, sun, moon, the galaxy, etc. It is always good to respect our fellow man. Great write, once again!

 Commented on the poem "You Complete Me" on 11/16/09 at 10:10 AM
Could I just have the massage part. Oh, how wonderful that would be. Give all that other stuff for your one and only but save the massage for me! As old as I am and sore as I am, I would appeciate it more. Great write, now my body really hurts.

 Commented on the poem "The Best Proposal Ever" on 11/13/09 at 11:48 PM
No, I had not read this poem before. I rememberscrolling down and said nope, it's too long. Now I see what an oversight it was. I immensly enjoyed it. I never tought of putting it this way on paper but we made the love of the century top ten list. HE has never hurt me, disappointed me, left me alone or turned me down. I love HIM, HE loves me and we will always be together. One terrific write and you were right, I loved it!

 
  Life After Death !
  March 25, 2007 at 02:12 AM
On January 14, 2006, I died. I was at church singing in the choir at a friends son's funeral. I only remember when we got done singing, I just didn't seem to be able to get enough air. Next thing I knew, I woke up in the ambulance, but did not realize where I was. Next I remember being in the emergency room and someone calling my name. I woke up, could not understand what all the fuss was about and was ready to go because my youngest daughter was having a baby shower at 4:00 pm. I thought I had only fainted, boy was I wrong. I had suffered a complete cardiac arrest, was pronounced dead and the hospital had been notified to have the chaplin in the emergency room to comfort the family, because they were bringing in my body. It was no accident or coincident that there were three RN's at church that day. They worked on me until the paramedics got there, giving me external heart massage and mouth -to-mouth. The three of them, and the cardiologist, assured me that I had no heartbeat, no pulse, I was not breathing, and I was cold, stiff, and grey. I know first hand, the power of GOD. They were stunned when I insisted on going to the bathroom by myself, had a good memory and I was lucid. They were expecting brain damage. None was present. I gave my testimony a week later, no walker, wheelchair or anything except the power of GOD. When I woke up at the hospital, I was completely at peace. I knew that I had been in the hands of the LORD and I had no fear. I was already a Christian but, that experience made life more precious and my walk with the Lord closer and dearer than ever before. He gave me a new poem at that time, and I will share my testimony and that poem with the world. That is why HE left me here, to give hope and light to the world. The name of that poem is, ALL ALONE WITH MY LORD.

Thanks for the love on the poem. I appreciate it. I know it's long to some people. It's definitely worth reading though.
