A LIFE BOAT

By Anita Mondragon

The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”  Luke 19:10

Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, waiting the penitent child to receive; Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently, He will forgive if they only believe.  Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; Jesus is merciful…Jesus will save! -Fanny J. Crosby 1869 and William H. Doane, 1870


THE GREATEST MAN I’VE EVER KNOWN

By Anita Mondragon

   (This is Jesus speaking!) …Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.  Revelation 3:20

PROSTITUTION…WHAT IT REALLY IS

By Anita Mondragon

Years ago, I read an article in the Rocky Mountain News.  A journalist had interviewed several prostitutes here, on the streets of Denver.

I wrote down several of the questions asked, and the answers given.  Here are the two that stuck out in my mind:

Q:  “What is the answer for you?”

A:  “I don’t know…I think its death.”

Q:  “Living this way must be very difficult for you…what is the hardest part?”

A:  “The hardest part…is having to be me when it’s all done…”


THE NURSERY WINDOW

By Anita Mondragon
I believe the spirit part of every man exists in Heaven before he becomes flesh here on earth…hence, the nursery window.  God knows us before we are formed in our mother’s womb, and He places His purpose in us, as well as our gifts, abilities, etc.  That’s why He could say: “I KNOW the plans I have for you…”  Just a thought…just an opinion. -anita


I HEARD THEM COME!

By Anita Mondragon
I was at the bedside of my grandpa, and my mother-in-law, when God sent His angels to carry them home.  This is how this poem came to be. -anita


MORE THAN JUST A WORD…

By Anita Mondragon

She walks in degradation

Wondering, aimless through the streets.

She’s nothing but a tramp now…


CAMELLIA

I wrote this story many years ago for my grandchildren.  Read it to your young ones. Hopefully they will get the meaning. –anita



ONLY GOD…

There is a farm I can see in the distance, just outside my front room window.  I love to sit with my morning coffee, and watch the glorious sunrise every day!


HEEDING YOUR CALL

By Anita Mondragon
A couple of years back, a good friend of mine let me watch a DVD that she had.  It was called:  Heeding Your Call.  I don’t even remember who the speaker was…but the following was what I got from it.


MERCY

By Anita Mondragon

With mercy…You were broken

With mercy…Your blood shed.

You breathed Your words of Life in me…

And now, my sins are dead!

You looked upon my broken heart,

And saw the tears I cried;

You took my pain and sorrow,

When on the Cross You died.

You bid me come to You, and let my soul be fed.

You are the Living Water…

You are my Daily Bread.

I come to you Oh Jesus!  On bended knee, I fall;

Have mercy on me Lord…as on your name I call!
