Pressing On
Preface . . .
This book is a collection of my true heart of hearts. The poems herein are direct representations of sight and emotions I have experienced along this journey thus far. From hate, sadness and depression to love, forgiveness and joy mixed in with a little creative thinking, a few rants and a personal discovery of what it’s like to love writing out each step I take.
In order for me to fully explain where these writings came from I must start at the beginning. I am a born again Christian. I accepted the Lord in 1998. I said the prayer was baptized and tried hard to fit into this new world of forgiveness, grace and mercy but, found that around every corner failure was still a very real reality in me and others. When the pastor of the church I attended announced he had cheated on his wife I flipped out. I decided I wasn’t going to learn anything from a man who couldn’t learn it himself and so I took my family and we left the church never to return.

Wow
Congrats on the book, I have always thought about writing a book. I don’t think that my memory is strong enough to provide enough detail and reality to really express my feelings. I am glad you were able to. God Bless!
