It goes so fast!
And will I have done
All I needed to do
When it is through?
Will I have said
Everything I wanted
To say--needed to say--
Before it is over?
Can I be like Jesus . . .

"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, . . .

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 . . .

You mock my
Testimony,
While my heart weeps.
I do not weep
As you suppose,
Because I cannot take
The pain of your mockery.
I can take it, dish it out. . . .

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 . . .

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, . . .

When the Spirit of the Lord is strong upon me
I am fearless.
Do I need to face down a legion of demons?
Bring 'em on!
Do I need to walk on water?
Not a problem!
Do I need the wherewithal . . .

I wish I would just stop sometimes!
This urge to always, always, always
Try to make people understand one another!
More often than not, I step into the breach
With the 'bestest' of . . .

Poverty drains
The life out of a man.
The dignity, too.
The confidence.
It stunts his faith.
Makes him sad.
Takes so much of
His very self away.
That's why Jesus
Made such a . . .

In Africa, right now,
James is over there telling people about Jesus,
(Should I say I'm a little jealous?)
Today is his birthday.
He's older than me by a year and a half.

"You are special to Jesus."
The words seem so pat
Like the kind of platitude
One murmurs to a child.
But, if we could only see
Just how very precious

When trouble comes
It seems as though a massive wall
Of sea water is drowning us--
As though nothing we can do is enough
To stem the tide.
We gasp,
We writhe, . . .

I see us humans
So beautiful, funny,
Creative, lovable,
Made in the image of God.
Then I see
The other side of us,
How sometimes we sell
Our birthright . . .

The joy of knowing Jesus
Rises up in me like a great flood
Wanting to overflow and fill
Everything in every area of my world.
I want all of the people I know
To taste the sweetness of it-- . . .

Peter wanted to cut somebody's ear off.
He was so mad, he was ready to fight.

That bunch who . . .

I wonder what they said about
Jesus, sitting at the sinner's table?
Were all of his 'people' frowning,
Whispering amongst themselves?
We know about the Pharisees
How they thought . . .

I wish I could take the love I feel
And bottle it up. Apply it to every wound
Of every person in the world who is hurting.
I love Jesus and he loves me.
But knowing him, I have come to . . .

So this is it then?
What about all the big plans
I held so close to my heart
Since I was a child?
What about the things left
Unfinished, unspoken, undecided?
I thought there would be... . . .
