Christ's call to love everyone is easy to accept but tough to live. While it's a simple message, life is a bit more complicated. We all know people who test our resolve-and our nerves: a tough boss, a gossiping friend, irritating neighbors. So we change "Love one another" to "Be nice" or "Tolerate difficult people." Yet God longs for us to experience a genuine change of heart, as His extravagant love naturally flows through us to others.
He Is My...

To: Editor, Atlanta Journal-Constitution I believe your newspaper has been missing something for the last two decades. In fact it was the original reason I became a loyal subscriber in the fi rst place: the thriceweekly columns of my all-time favorite writer, the late, great Lewis Grizzard. Trust me when I say that as a loyal University of Florida graduate its diffi cult for me to admit there is actually something good that came out of the University...

The poems in this compilation of "2 Poetry Books in 1" were written together. One dark, the other light. In my mind they complement each other. Both have pulled me thru rough and sleepless nights of silent hysteria and rage. I finally made a breakthrough and learned to just appreciate every moment of my life, and just not allow myself to be victimized anymore. I don't have to cry and write poetry and suffer defeat of spirit. I can glow and keep on...

Compilation of 3 short poetry books written between 2001-2008. The cover photo of the Hawaiian Monk Seal was taken in 1982. I'm using it for the cover because the first poem in the compilation is called "The Music on Which Thoughts Dwell" and was inspired by this chance meeting when my boyfriend and I were going around the island of Maui on a motor scooter. We never tried to get close to, or try to touch the seal. We just took the picture from a safe...

The poems in this compilation were written around 2000. It was a hard time for me because I lost my chance to have the education I was striving for, and because I lost my HUD housing voucher and was homeless. I got it back (after 14 years) in 2001. Since then, I've been able to keep a one bedroom apt. I bought a used computer and new printer and started my Banana Patch Fantasy Productions website. Life is good... I don't want to tell you how I've...
