In my book, I feature one of my poems: “Knee-Mail.” Here is the backstory behind that poem: In this high-tech world of ours, with everyone Facebooking, Twittering, emailing, texting, cell-phoning, etc., many, many times throughout the day, I realized that we can reach other people with these various forms of communication, but we cannot reach God in any way outside of prayer. Prayer is even more powerful than the high-tech equipment we use to communicate. The only way ever to…..
As Emotional Wellness Month now comes to a close, we must remember that our emotional well-being is important every day throughout the year. What causes your tears? Whatever we may be going through, always know that God sees and understands. “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” Jeremiah 31:25 Photo by Guilherme Stecanella on Unsplash
In my book, I feature one of my poems: “The Depth of the Well.” Here is the backstory behind that poem: I wrote this poem while in Arizona. I was visiting one of those old-time, western shopping towns where you feel you are in a western movie set, but it’s really for shopping in board-walk shops with swinging doors.

In my book, I feature one of my poems: “The Fingers of God.” Here is the backstory behind that poem: A friend once told me, when the sun broke through the clouds with rays of the sun shining down, that they called that “the Fingers of God.” I thought that was awesome and wrote the poem “The Fingers of God,” which became the title for my book. It is a perfect depiction of God’s love reaching down to us saying…..

One example would be the beautiful sunset the other evening reflecting God’s artistic beauty in the heavens. I was inspired to write a poem about a beautiful rainbow several years ago, but one stanza of that poem is appropriate for this picture as well: What better frame for God’s deep love……
In my book, I feature one of my poems: “Answered Prayer.” Here is the backstory behind that poem: How often have we prayed and felt, just because we did not get an answer right then or did not receive the answer that we wanted, that the answer must be a “no” ? Really, God has other, better plans that we just don’t see. I was inspired to write this poem when my husband applied for a position with a company…..
September is Suicide Prevention Month, and I am excited to announce the launch of my recently published book, “The Fingers of God.” It is a Christian inspirational book containing 237 poems to give inspiration and hope to those who need to be uplifted during any point in their life. This is often a difficult hurry-up, do-it-now world, and God’s love does reach down and touch the lives of each of us in the sometimes depressing and lonely situations we each…..
