    About this ebook

    Those who are lost in sin
    and cannot find a way.
    Come read the poems I've written;
    come hear the things I say.

    They will show God loves you,
    He understands your needs.
    He'll give you everlasting life,
    from sin He'll set you free.

    Please read my humble works –
    you might find a part of you –
    I hope they will encourage
    and help you see life through.

    We come to a place in our life where we need to make a choice. Helplessness, hopelessness, becomes that heavy load we can no longer carry. Perhaps you need a new direction. The choice is yours, but I hope this helps you find the answers. It might even be your Turning Point.

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      Forever More

      I sit dying in each second

      because I miss You so.

      What can I say to You

      that You don’t already know.

      I’m proud of my sobriety.

      I gave up my evil life

      You help me to clean up

      all my life of strife.

      You understand my darkness

      You’re sharing in my pains

      You have kept me

      from blowing out my brains.

      Now I kneel before You

      to ask You once again.

      That You save me from

      this vacant life I’m in.

      Take me to Your side

      as You done before.

      So I can love You

      for now and ever more.

      Up

      Wow!!

      Father I’m dumbfounded

      by the tolerance You show.

      I thought You’d started over

      with all the things You know.

      I know I’ve been created

      by Your tender hands.

      You gather me from the dust

      You call my name as man.¹

      From the start I am a sinner

      my will for good is weak.

      I know You could stop it all

      with just the words You speak

      But You have given me

      a gift that is my own.

      Even as I stumble ‘round

      You will bring me home.

      Surprisingly I find

      forgiveness constantly.

      I can’t seem to get it right

      yet You’re always there for me.

      The amazement that I feel

      as I stand and shake my head.

      For without Your tender mercy

      I know that I’d be dead.

      I stand here confounded

      at how You look at me.

      By now I’d given up

      on his failure that I see.

      You don’t see this flaw

      You see me whole and pure.

      You help me walk a better walk

      cause that’s what friends are for.

      Up

      1 Genesis 3:19 paraphrased

      God’s eye

      I used to counsel all the time

      listening to people was just fine.

      I tried to tell them there is life

      it’s not always toil, and strife.

      The only reason I can speak

      once I too lived on the street.

      I know how it makes you feel

      all used up not being real.
