Synopsis

Have you ever asked, Why me Lord? I know personally that we will be tested as Christians. This compilation of Spiritual writings is a testimony to Faith. This compilation is also a testimony to God’s gift of families for it contains writings from three generations—mother, son, and granddaughter.

Although traditional, this compilation of inspirational writings and poems are relevant to this global based, social media twenty-first century. Interesting, most of my writings in this compilation occurred at the oddest times—while I was trying to sleep, while teaching, while relaxing or even while talking to others. Ultimately, this compilation of Spiritual writings reflect that life is a series of experiences. As our faith in Jesus is tested, we grow spiritually, emotionally, and sometimes creatively.
