We are born, we live, we die-all in their own good time. And then we hope when life is over to heaven's gate we climb. All of us hope to get there the easiest we can, But unfortunately life happens-and the fur hits the fan. I was not any different-had hope to get me through-But this and that got in the way-probably the same as you. I had the usual problems-that is the way life goes. For now I won't write in verses; for now I will write in prose.

In the beginning... In the beginning was God In the beginning was love There was always love, because there was always God. In the beginning was the Holy Trinity There has always been love - passionate love among the three Persons of the Godhead - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There is nothing love wants more than to confer that love on someone else. God is also a God of order. The universe - the multitude of galaxies - does not fly off into space. God has set them in orbits - gravitational pull.

My husband, Norman, died on January 28, 2018. I wrote the first poem, "Norman and Family," in honor of him. (I actually wrote the short poem "Summer" a couple of weeks before, expressing my dislike of summer in our mountain area. I had been stung by yellow jackets six or seven times a few days earlier. Several people said I should publish it!)I began writing more poems and found that I really enjoyed it. Some of the poems touch on events many are familiar with, such as the Great Depression, World War II, the World Series earthquake, and the turbulent sixties, which I share from my perspective. I hope you will find them entertaining, relatable, and fun to read.Writing about my girlhood and also about our times as a family has made me more conscious than ever of how the Lord has blessed and has had his hand on me all my life. He has had his hand on our family as well, and we really did have a fun time together.I feel privileged to share my life with you. I hope it blesses you.
