My Poetry

I haven't written poetry for years. At one time there was a steady flow, but it stopped. But recently it has begun again. I have no explanation for this - it's just the creative work of God. I like to say that I don't write the poems, I just write them down. I have a place in my heart where the words come.

I am writing a new poem almost every day. This is the cruze of oil that never fails. This is the manna that's new every morning. This is daily bread.

These poems are life to me - I pray that they're life to you as well.

One question that always arises is "Why don't you sell these?" I did try at one time to market my songs; believe me, you have to know somebody or be more persistent than I am to make a go of it. This is my alabaster box - I'd just rather break the box and pour the ointment forth on our wonderful Jesus than to try to sell them.

Please check back every now and then. Although I can't guarantee that this will continue like Old Faithful and erupt every so often, I have found that God is faithful. I can't even begin to write a poem until I have posted the last one. I'd like to have one or two in reserve, but He won't let me. I just trust that He will continue to bless me with this unfolding of His word and His plan and that you will continue to be blessed. Please share the poems as you wish - I think God has His own distribution channel.

Thank you for reading.
