About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by God’s free grace by Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of two grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and one handsome busy boy. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God is here; God is there; God is everywhere. Praise His holy name.

Easter Blessings

 

(He is not here, for he has risen as he said he would Mt 28:6)
An empty tomb
A victory sign
Death no more the conqueror

Our risen Lord
Promised fullfilled
No more slaves to sin and shame

Begin anew
covenant made
His wrath no more his mercy still

Tomorrow brings
Message of hope
No more darkness through lack of faith

His Holy Spirit
will come to visit
Fear no more but courage now

Resurrection the gift
If accepted
No more shall we for anything lack
