I heard of your death.
I thought of all the hours I'd spent,
Since the day we first met,
Praying for you.
I remember when you
Went to church with me for a while
And how . . .

Sinner, who hates God,
You comment about what
You perceive to be my
Lack of intelligence
For believing him.
At first I was disturbed.
I wanted to answer you
Back in . . .

I need you.
I need you to speak to those
Who have ears to hear.
I need you
To show love and kindness
To those who hurt.
I need you
To be somebody who I

God,
I like it when you tell me
to do something that
gives me the warm fuzzies
and makes me feel special.
I hate it when you tell me
to do something that
is going to make everybody . . .

"Do you have any faith?"
I stood on the top of the three-foot-high platform ramp, in front of my pastor and some 2000 (or so) people, shaking as he asked me the question. And here I was, . . .

So it's not all about me?
Okay. I hear you talking.
Who is it all about then?
Oh, You. I knew that.
I just forgot.

I believe that heaven will be something like a dream I had once.
The dream opened with me coming out on the outside of a door. I knew that my life on earth was over. An angel stood beside me to my left . . .

The world is full
Of hurting people--
People who reach
For something more.
I cry to God,
"You know I want to be
More than I am.
To heal, to save
Everybody." . . .

One day, I knelt beside my bed
Praying up a storm, I tell you.
I mean, I was praying for everybody
I could possibly imagine who
Needed the least little amount
Of help from on high.
I was . . .

I've used this phrase
So many times
On so many jobs
Where I've worked.
But I find that this
Even more exemplifies
Who I am and what
I desire to do in life.
I was a shy loner . . .

The road to bring you where you are
is bordered with beautiful scenery.
Identical trees form lines along it in places.
Some trees in other places burst forth
with pink flowers or different blooms. . . .

I try to be like
God to everybody.
I bind a wound here.
I take a stand there,
In this one or that one's
Defence.
I wipe a tear away.
I cause a tear to fall
Because I am trying . . .

There is a spark of the divine in all of us
Waiting to be delivered of it's source.
A kindling to become a raging fire.
A trickle waiting to become a stream
And finally rivers of living waters. . . .

Too many times I find
Myself chuckling at something
Inappropriate.
People make pompous
Statements about God or their
Godlessness.
And they expect to be
Taken seriously as though
It's . . .

"Where was God?" She asked me
With storming eyes and jerky movements
As she spat the words into my face.
I was speechless for a moment.
Not because I didn't know the answer. . . .

I was young, maybe nine or ten, when we moved to Palmetto, Louisiana in a little white house almost directly under the water tower.
My Daddy had been an unofficial preacher for years to everybody he . . .

On Feb. 11th, twenty-seven years ago, I met my husband.
About three months prior to that, I was living in Rising Star, Texas. A single young minister had come to visit. I liked him, . . .

Well, I've got my Dad in a nursing home. In ways it's a lot harder than I thought it would be, but in some ways (and I feel guilty about this) it's a lot easier.
You'd . . .

I take heart when I see the love of God
Shining in the eyes of others.
I think to myself, Ah, yes, there is hope;
That hope I see in the eyes of a child.
I try hard to let the love shine from . . .

Helga remembered her sister among flowers. In her memory, they walked together, through a garden of them. Helga had been a small child, her sister, grown, to Helga's young mind, at . . .
