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…”

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

She walks in degradation
Wondering, aimless through the streets.
She’s nothing but a tramp now…

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!

I have been thinking a lot about God’s mercy lately…how deep, and wide His love and grace reach. Even though I was brought up in a Pastor’s home, and heard about Jesus, I strayed far, far from that truth for a long time. When I finally came to the end of myself, I wondered if there was any mercy left for me…or if I had somehow exhausted the longsuffering of God. The other day, as I sat pondering, and remembering how many times He has rescued me, I wrote this poem. Thank God for His mercy and grace!

This morning, I was reading one of my devotionals. It was talking about the most unselfish prayer of all time. It is found in John 17. Here is part of that passage where Jesus is praying:

We just finished a five day tent meeting in our church with numerous preachers and musicians. It was wonderful to realize there are folks all over the country/world that truly BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ!

As many of you know, my dad was a Baptist Preacher for over 40 years. He used many illustrations in his sermons to get his point across. He likened them to parables that Jesus used in the Bible so that folks could understand more easily.
The following, is based on one of the illustrations he used. I heard it many times during my growing up years, and turned it into a poem for my grandchildren. -anita
