Volunteer work
Every week, we pick up food and share it with families in need. I began doing this when I was out of work(and we were in need). Now 7 years later, we have seen this food touch many people's lives. And have seen other people(some who are in need themselves)getting involved, and helping reach out to others... We are thankful to have help distribute over 300,000 loaves of bread, and hundreds of boxes of other food as well. It's been a good example to get our children involved as well. We thank Jesus for this opportunity!

Professional or Philanthropic associations (including religious affiliation)
We do attend a local church. However, it's God's family whom are the church. It is my desire to "reach beyond the four walls of the building" in reaching the world with the GOOD NEWS of God's love! I don't get excited about "the building, but do get excited ...about THE BUILDER... Jesus Christ!

Poetry writing experience
I have written poetry for the past several years... and have witnessed it touching many people's lives. In March of 2007, I received the first confirmation that a person came to Christ after reading one of my poems. PTL!

United States

Testimony of saving faith for Christians only
I have served Jesus for most of my life. However, these past few years have taught me how important it is to live for him... not j ust in words... but in also how we live. How important it is to really have vitory in our life that only Jesus can bring!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!

Time Heals?

Time Heals?

There is an old adage quoted
That says, “Time Heals all Wounds,”
But it really should be noted
There are scars – mem’ry looms.

All the time in the world won’t heal.
Some memories will fade
And you will learn, with them, to deal
As they return unbade.

That fig tree would need more than time
To produce fruit, that’s sure.
Good soil and just the perfect clime
Might juicy fruit assure.

God works the soil – my life and yours
With ingredients pure,
And with His perfect grace assures
His healing love’s the cure.
