Most people write a few poems in their teen years; I did too, but didn't stop, so I have been writing poetry all my life.
My favorite theme is faith in God and my relationship with him, but I often diverge and write about the struggles of life.
I have been included in some collections over the years and have been featured in some magazines. I have another blog that is dedicated to poems and prayers of faith.
WHAT I BELIEVE
I believe in God and I love him and His Word. I hope my life will become a thankful life of worship and faith.
I came to faith in Jesus as my Savor in 1972 and have been faithfully following him ever since.
(If you are interested in learning how you can have Jesus as Savior see my other post.)
I have attended churches of several denominations over the years and appreciate the variety of expressions of faith in today's Christianity. Wherever I have attended I been chosen for responsibilities of service, so I bring four decades of experience and thought to my writings on faith.
These days I serve at a Baptist Church where I teach Sunday School and volunteer at the kids Awana ministry.
MY PROJECTS
My biggest project is to write a prayer poem for each day of the year, this will take a long time since it takes a couple of weeks to write a decent prayer poem. You can read my collection of faith poems at my blog: Poems and Prayers of a Pilgrim in Sneakers.
I write stories for my church kids which can be found in my blog Tales From The Pilgrim's Journal, each one teaches a lesson or illustrates a truth.
MY HOPE
I hope God uses my writing to encourage and comfort others. I have found that God has brought me through all the tough times in my life and I hope that my meditations and devotions from the Bible inspire others during their own trials.
If my poems and inspirational devotionals are an encouragement to you please take a moment and pray for me.
