This is a cruel, heartless world with no respect for life, love, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Often characteristics of fear and paranoia develop as a way of coping with painful mental and emotional experiences. Many are trapped in the prison of fear, anxiety, doubt, intense outbursts, paranoia, unfulfilled relationships, or broken hearts. Fearful people often gravitate to one another for comfort and support. But their destructive habits do not produce the loving relationships they desperately need. Even though it seems reasonable to fear, Jesus does not want us to be consumed with it. Replace the heartbreak of fear with characteristics of faith that transform lives and relationships. It's important to reject fearful thoughts as we draw strength in a close relationship with Jesus that gives us the power to love, forgive, and trust others in a more excellent way. The life skills found in biblical scripture are keys to healing. First, we must find love, peace, comfort, and security in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Then these qualities spill over into our love lives. It doesn't happen the other way around. These are principles of health and healing: Submit our lives completely to the teaching of the Jesus. Identify with Biblical promises of peace to calm our fears. In the process of self-examination, forgive ourselves. In the process of examining our relationships, forgive others. Apply God's principle of love, wisdom, and faith in romance and marriage. Trust God's power in the midst of fearful circumstances. Pray daily about the details of our love lives.

"e;The Seeds of Change"e; is a collection of inspired poems that help bring to life several of the key lessons taught within God's word, the Holy Bible. These poems combined with short lessons based on key verses of scripture illustrate some of the primary elements these lessons of verse are trying to convey. So often, people are interested to learn more about how the Bible relates to their personal lives and experiences, but they really do not know where to begin or how to go about it. "e;Th e Seeds of Change"e; can help show them just how to achieve that relationship. Th e poems package these teaching in what some might consider a more palatable and relatable form, while the passages from scripture illustrate just how the Bible relates to our everyday lives. By first sharing the message in language familiar to most readers, then exposing the reader to that same concept within the scriptures the reader begins to understand just how God intended the Bible to be used in our everyday lives. In that sense, the poems and scripture combine together to create the lessons of verse that plant God's seeds of change into the mind of the reader. And as any follower of our Lord and savior Jesus the Christ knows, when these seeds are planted within good ground, they will not return void. For He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one will reach the father except by him.

THERE are many aspects about the person of God that we are so curious about and wish we knew. Some of those questions that ramble about in the hallways of our mind will only be satisfied in eternity. However, there is one thing for certain that can be known from the get-go. God is a talker! He is an eloquent communicator, and He loves to dialogue with His creation. From the first book of the Bible onward, God verbalizes His will, expectations, and love with mankind. This book examines with excitement every instance in Genesis where God talked to man or man talked to God. It is discovered that those occurrences greatly resemble contemporary social issues we face today, and that dialogue contains pertinent wisdom for us as well, and so we pray-we learn from them how to dialogue with Deity.

For about ten years I have been told to write my stories in a book form. I never did it until now because I couldn't think of a title that was worthy. My son, David and I were talking one beautiful Halloween day at our church. As we discussed his recent separation from his wife, we also discussed my plans to build a new church auditorium. I told him the one I wanted was probably going to cost about $900,000.00 and I didn't want to borrow money. I knew that God had provided for our first building and I knew He could do it again. I just couldn't see any way for that to happen. for such a large amount. David said, "e;Momma if you will write your stories it will sell."e; That day after we left the church I came directly to the office and started to type and the title "e;My story for HIS glory"e; is what I typed first. I didn't need to stress over the title anymore, that was it. Some secrets bring much greater destruction into our lives than if they were revealed. Revealing secret sin is painful, but God uses our honesty to bring a whole new dimension of freedom into our life. Satan will never be able to use that secret sin to hold us in bondage any more. Many others have allowed fear and shame to hold them back from taking the path that I have taken. Revealing my secret took courage. But God's incredible rewards await those who are willing to take the hard steps to live in open honesty. I praise God that He brought me through all the pain and destruction that Satan was putting on me, because now I live in freedom.

The sonnets presented in End Times explore the alienation of modern man from his creator, as foretold to occur before the Lord's glorious return to earth. With familiar subjects of everyday life, these poems describe with vivid imagery the tragedy of a society in which both God and natural law are denied, and the resultant conflict between the increasing temptation to view life as meaningless and God's relentless call to all mankind for transcendence to new life.
