A babe so soft, a child so sweet, lay on a bed of hay,
His mom looked at the dimpled hands and counted fingers at play.
His hands would grow with bruises and scuffs as children often do.
He used them to craft with wood and nails and callouses He knew.
The hands would search the scriptures, though He wrote every phrase,
His hands would do miraculous deeds – like heal and calm and raise.
He touched the hearts of many, He healed their broken souls, He held them close and tight.
The soldiers rammed iron nails into His willing flesh. Each nerve burned for our plight.
He died upon that wooden cross, He suffered, and He bled,
The grave would never hold Him. He conquered death instead.
When once again we see Him in glory and in might,
He’ll take our hands and hold them. For He has won our fight.

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
