A Word From The Author

The word I like to use is: if I can help somebody as I travel along this road, them my living will not be in vain. My aim is to encourage others how to achieve in life, helping individuals to see wrongs and try with all might to make things right. I love singing, writing, sewing, drawing, and most of all reading the Bible.

Encouragement: My Book of Psalms

The book “encourage” is written to enlighten the hearts of others, and say there is a way out of any given situation. It will mention when losing hope and feel depress; there is someone you can turn to. There is encouragement in death, and the excitement of love written from the heart. In this book I would like others to be reminded of the pass and excited for the future and given to the present. There will be similes of age and youth troubles and peace to help individuals to build beyond present issues of life. We can’t predict what will happen but can be prepared for what take place. 

The Window

It is about a Frog name Teddy, who lived in a small town and wanted to become king, Teddy did not consider all of the heart-ship and responsibilities that came along with king-ship but only saw one thing and it was becoming king and exercising his authority, he wanted to rule the world and show others what he could do.
Teddy assumed that he had many friends; but realized he had only two true friends who were there in good times as well as bad times. After climbing the highest building Teddy found out that trouble was around the corner and needed help and assistance in getting out. Many friends he saw passed by him and at one point they were considered to be his closest friends, they turned and walked away he then understood even in the mist of conflicts there is only those that really care and will be there.

So it is in life, you will often wonder who are your friends if I go through trials will they be there for me? If I get in a bind will they come and pull me through? Or just walk away and say sorry I can’t help. I believe a true friend will be there until the end, it does not matter what will happen the two of you will walk down the long road together.
