About atimetoshare.me

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.

WRINKLES ARE JUST UNPRESSED PLEATS

THE LAST DAYS OF JESUS

TIME FOR SOME SERIOUS GROVELING

There’s a whole lot of groveling going on in the Old Testament.  The Children of Israel continued to make the same mistakes over and over and over again.  It’s easy for us to see where they blew it – how they strayed from … Continue reading

HE WAS CREATING QUITE A STIR

DAWN OF A NEW DAY

A galvanizing glow pierces through the stillness, Animating a beclouded forest, Giving life to lifeless limbs, Exploding into a myriad of brilliant color, Intoxicating the senses. Illuminating, Thrilling the imagination, The shadows give way to the energy, Slipping into darkness, Dousing every inch of … Continue reading
