die within days of each other. A good friend of mine's father died one day, and as she was getting ready to attend the viewing the next day news came that her 54 year old husband (also a good friend of mine) had died of a brain aneurysm at work.

The Rash of Domestic Violence
in this great country inspired me to write this poem. His sanctuary can refer to your place of worship, or as taught in the New Testament, your own body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. The words, fill this place with your love, refers to our homes! Fill His Sanctuary With Praise Lord, as we fill...

If It Is Not Borke, Don't Fix It!
What do you do, if it is broke and you can't fix it? Right now so many things around me are broken and I can't fix them. I am not talking so much about my life as that of those I know and love. Some are going through divorces, others have cancer, heart problems, diabetes, strokes etc. and others are...

Many miracles did this young man in the towns by the sea, To those who saw these miracles, He said, Become fishers of men and follow me. Standing in a boat, docked by the rolling sea, Love...

To Get Up or Not To Get Up, That is Faith's Question!
I awoke this morning, To dark grayish storm clouds, Hanging low over my weary head; Pull the covers up, Forget about today's pressing work, Remain as you are, my body seductively said! No! No! No! My soul conscientiously declared - Don't yield to this temptation par excellence, Modern day, superbowl...

Not for these college students. Our hats off to the many college students that are giving their Spring Break time to do relief work in the Katrina Hurricane stricken area.

SAID A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER TO HER CLASS
