I am in the twilight of my life. It has been filled with needs and abundance. The thread running through my life was my great love for God and people. Much time was spent in Christian work. My God-given talent, poetry writing came early in life. It was printed in neighborhood papers, in church bulletins, and etc. The best thing that happened, was when I sent my poems, to The National Library of Poetry. These beautiful people allowed me to take my poems out of the closet and put them into a world network. I'm praying many will be inspired by them.

The Great Exchange

Christmas! it was the beginning of an earth shaking change. 
My Father's Choice. Me in You and You in Me. I come to 
change the world, not as a King or someone Great, No! but 
as a mere Babe, like you. Yet so different. For it was My life, 
from the beginning to be a ransom. I was like you, associat- 
ing with you, in every way, yet full of power to do for you, 
what you could not do for yourself. So that all who would 
believe in me and my life's work, trust in Me to do it well, 
even into Death; which was "Great Price" of the ransom. 
These who would believe and trust, would not perish, but 
have everlasting life. This was my Father's Choice and I con- 
sented. I was willing to do it all, for the Hope that was in Me, 
for the Glory that would follow. My Pleasure was to do my 
Father's will, to rescue his Creation, His Children who were 
doomed to Hell's destruction. My Father's Great Exchange, 
to all who were willing to exchange their Life for Mine, so for 
a moment I could visit Hell and lead the captives Free, for I 
would Pay the ransom needed, my very life, there was no 
other Way. 
Christmas, the Beginning of the "Great Exchange."

Wishing You A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year

Rejoice! Rejoice! My People,
Your King eternal is among you,
This is the season,
You see me as a babe, in a manger.
It has been so, for two thousand years,
You have missed the mark,
A beginning does not go on forever.
But moving on to greater victories,
The birth, the death, the resurrection.
If I stopped at the beginning,
Where would be the salvation.
No! My people when you see me in the manger,
You must also see the cross,
The empty tomb, for I am alive forever more.
Rejoice! The work is finished.
Salvation, is earned by your King.
All who come to me in repentance,
May obtain it, my arms are open,
There is room, for all to come.
Come! rule with Me, in my Kingdom
