A Rhapsody of Poetic Words

Investing My Talent Into the Kingdom of God Until the Master Comes


Lord, let your words flood our souls, they are more precious than silver or gold, to transform our lives and make us whole. You empowered me with a poetic gift, to share with humanity and to uplift. So illuminate my mind with your glory divine, to creatively speak your word of truth, like they have never heard.

Thank God for A Rhapsody of Poetic Words!

After a recent illness, I was blessed to read this book before it was published. The song “A Fresh Rain” was meant for me! Thanks for blessing your 88 year old friend and countless others!
