I want to preface this poem with the fact that I've been having a struggle with some wintertime depression and I just needed to write something to help shift my focus. I didn't worry over this being perfect, but it represents me well. Thankful If I were thankful Instead of down I'd wear a smile …

Let Your Fears Be Blown Away
God spoke And I listened, "Let your fears be blown away By My Holy Breath, Allowing the breeze To bring a calm And a refreshing." So here I sit In stillness Exhaling...releasing...

P is for …
Poetry, Poems, Posts, Praise, Prayer, Persistence, and Patience. I think this is the best letter, yet. Before I start going on and on about me; let me introduce you to my best friend, Darla Greven. She is an inspiration to me (and many others) and a great encourager. You can check out her blog at …
Buttoned-Up
I have been sifting through my old poetry and posting on my Poems Page, but, I didn't want anyone to miss out, so I am posting this one on my main page. This poem is possibly from high-school. I have not been consistent in dating my work. Reaching out To a world of people Buttoned-up …
