📕 I had never read the Bible before 'til that day I turned forty years old. We were going through some hard times, and I took our big, dusty Bible down from the mantel to see if I could find some answers there. And as I opened it up, the words jumped up off the pages and hung there in the air. He got a hold of me right then and there and then blessed me with the gift of verse that I might, in this way, bless his Holy Name. It's now been over forty years since that day, and this is book 9 of the poetry that he has blessed me to write. I am presently working on poem book number 10. Thus far, I have written over 1,500 poems. God has blessed me with so many miracles that I cannot praise him enough. I take everything to him in prayer with faith in believing, and I know that he answers in his own way that I may receive his best and of his Holy Name. I will continue to write to his glory as long as I have the breath of life. He continues to fill my soul with his blessings and miracles as I give to him, through these poems, all the glory and praise. Amen. PS. The bureau of motor vehicles sends me the poet license plate every year and have done so for many years.
