In this book, I have covered a broad spectrum of topics in my poetry: faith, hope, charity, and love of God and neighbor, as Christ taught us to do. Subjects include church holy days, life and death, sickness, human relations, nature, humor, the changing seasons, the poor, the abused, the addicted, the homeless, pets, and wildlife. Being a WWII veteran, war and those who have served, been injured or died, the MIAs, and patriotism have always been important in my life. Each holiday or season inspires me to write about the current happenings. No two people see things the same, so I enjoy letting others see into my thoughts at the time a poem was written. Writing poetry is a shorthand to express my feelings and emotions on topics that are important to me. I hope you enjoy my poetry and ramblings through a variety of topics.With God's help, I shall write as long as I can sit at a keyboard. Thank you for your interest in this endeavor.*****My FinaleI hear the Lord calling,He's calling me home,that's why I'm writing,this poet's last poem.I love You, my dear Lord,when You call, I'll be there,it is You I've adored,You have answered my prayer.When You do call me,I'll write no more poems,I pray I'll be taken,to my heavenly home.Bud
Good or evil, your words can have the ability to unwittingly create self-destructive entanglements. There is no such thing as empty words. When we speak, angels and demons go to work. The angel's mission is to obey words that speak God's commands. However, the demon's job is to be counter reactive. They want to keep you out of the will of God. Have you ever seen something that you wanted and said, "One day I am going to have that..."? And before you knew it, you had possession of that thing. Was it just an unexplainable coincidence? Not in the spirit realm!The central character in Kept by an Angels Message of Hope chronicles how she unwittingly spoke into existence an adulterous love affair. She brings to life the spiritual warfare that ensued speaking innocent but powerful faith-filled words. She exchanges the physical scars of a near fatal accident for the emotional scars of the guilt complex associated with adultery. Her grief is compounded by the arrogance of choosing an opportunist mentality rather than a relationship born of true love.This is a true-to-life spiritual account of the creative power of words. Words that ensnared her into a decade long relationship of infidelity and bondage. She explores the sacrifice and high stakes of remaining in an aging unfruitful relationship.The love interest is a high-profile NBA Rookie sensation. His wealth, generosity and fame were magnetic. Notwithstanding, he was also an NBA celebrated evangelical minister. You will go on a journey of discovery, love, betrayal and ultimately heartbreak. In this compelling drama, she navigates the temptations of the bait of Satan called Compromise.

As a believer in God are you prepared for suffering and grief that will come your way? After the death of my beloved wife in 2018, I started searching for resources to provide some guidance on how to cope with the intense grief that comes with being a widower at a fairly young age. To my surprise, I found very few publications directed at helping widowers deal with the suffering of losing their spouse and almost nothing from a Christian perspective on the topic. In the months following my wife's passing, I absorbed as much information on grieving and suffering as I could find. I read about grief and attended grief sharing sessions at my local church. But I kept questioning why these things happened to my family and why prayers were not heard. I realized that the church as a whole does not do a very good job in preparing the flock for grief and suffering which inevitably will come our way at some point in our lives.During this period of confusion, doubt and crying out for answers, God responded to my protests and ultimately provided comfort as only he can. Why Me Lord?! Suffering Widower was written to offer witness to God's unwavering grace and to look into the insights regarding suffering from the Bible, primarily the book of Job.

BCSA parable is defined as a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels. Someone once told me I spoke in parables. Really! Jesus I am not, nor am I claiming to be the moral police, far from it. In this book are short glimpses of my life experiences and how the scriptures suddenly became clear to me during those moments. I hope you enjoy and recognize there are times in your life when God is speaking directly to you. I pray that when he does, you listen.Christa Flack
A lyrical bedtime story about a young boy who doesn't want to go to bed because he has bad dreams, and how his mother uses the armor of God to give him the confidence to go to sleep.Based on Ephesians 6:14-18 NLT,"Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
Ted Everett has lived in eight different states while working with some of the largest cemetery/funeral companies in the world. In his position, he heard more eulogies/sermons than most and was intrigued that no matter what part of the country he was living in or no matter what religious denomination, gender, or ethnicity, all of them were quite similar.The overwhelming majority were going to live in heaven for eternity. Based on the fact that he was raised in a Christian home as a pastor's kid, this did not seem to hold true with what he knew about the Holy Scriptures. Hence, the birth of this book to answer the question, "Is it really true, what you hear in the pew?"

The enemy cannot stop destiny. As a young girl in Meggett, South Carolina (twenty miles south of Charleston), Sandra Magwood grew up very poor in a quaint, little four-room home with nine other children; she did not know they were poor. Although she was taught about Jesus, she was ashamed to say his name. She had no idea how significant her reliance was upon him as sovereign would save her life and guide her into her destiny, which far exceeded anything she ever imagined. Those who prophesied into her life about God planted seeds in her heart that were nurtured and watered for harvest at the appointed time of its manifestation.For years, she ran from any reminders of who God was and what he could do. Her ignorance beforehand did not stop her destiny and God's plans for her. At every stumbling block in her life, she was met with a ram in the bush for deliverance. Unbeknown to her, she was in a preparatory phase, as she ran more into his presence, diligently seeking his will and ways well before her challenges. She was kept through an open-heart surgery, major emergency surgery, broken heart, military sexual trauma, and through a crippling unforgiving spirit.She always knew she would become an author confirmed by God and by so many who prophesied from her testimonials and encouraged her to write books. She knows what a broken spirit feels like, and one of her greatest joys is to encourage and uplift others. She writes about truth, family, faith, hope, forgiveness, and humor when humor is fitting.Shhh! Can You Hear Him? is divinely written, divinely motivated, divinely encouraged, and divinely inspired by and through God. God poured into her over the decades, and she pours into others while giving God all the praise, glory, and honor that he rightfully deserves.

Rodgers, Growing Up on Fox Street Page 22 of 179Growing Up on Fox Street is full of warm and uplifting stories from an era gone by. Informative, nostalgic, and engaging at its core, it is written from the viewpoint of a little girl enjoying carefree youthful days with her brothers, cousins, and friends in a small American town during the 1960s.It was a time when moms stayed home and parents allowed their children to play freely in the neighborhood. There was only one car in the driveway, and family mealtimes meant eating home-cooked meals together around the kitchen table. There were bikes to ride, ball games to play, creeks to swim in, forts to build, and neighborhood quarrels to settle. Families went to church on Sundays and Vacation Bible School in the summer. The boys played Little League Baseball as the parents cheered them on from the bleachers. They watched parades every year in town and anticipated Santa's visit and Christmas festivities each December.Even though the times are different today, for the Fox Street kids (and all kids everywhere), the idea of growing up seemed so far away. Their personalities were shaped by their families and friends and the world around them. It is their childhood memories that now seem far away.Growing Up on Fox Street features charming illustrations by the author and helpful annotations for the younger reader. The reflection questions for each chapter will help the reader tell their own story and stimulate meaningful conversations with family members about their childhood recollections.

Have we lost our sense of awe and humility before the all-powerful, creative, and holy God of the universe? We inhabit a post-modern age where scientific rationalism has replaced reverence and self-centered "spirituality" has overtaken biblical faith as society's prevailing belief system. Within the church, we have become overly comfortable and casual with a domesticated, familiar view of God that is far removed from the burning bushes and whirlwinds through which biblical figures experienced the living God.Inspired by a brief remark during a sermon, Trembly sets out to recover aspects of God--including his physical presence and power--that are central to biblical narratives of human encounters with God yet often overlooked in our modern readings. As a practicing psychotherapist, he brings a keen understanding of character and the human mind to his consideration of Moses, Jacob, and others who were transformed by their direct experiences with God.The God who emerges from Trembly's exploration is a God of unlimited power, creativity, and righteousness who refuses to be confined by the limits of human imagination and who speaks an unambiguous message, inviting us to share in the transforming work of his mighty "right hand" in the world.
