Times right now seem scary and uncertain to many around the world. A time that we have never really experienced before……working from home rather than our usual off-site office; self quarantining from others, not venturing out unless we have to; seeing shortages of paper and food supplies at the store when we do dare venture out; so many getting ill and many dying from a dangerous virus that is impacting the whole world. There is sickness, pain, and loss……loss of…..
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.

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” ?
