Walking A 10k And Then Some: A Big Accomplishment

Friday, July 7th, 2023, was the furthest I had walked since I started on a journey to walk and to get healthy. I did a total of 8 miles within the day, but I walked a long distance twice which accounted for 7.29 miles. During the mid-morning I walked 3.27 miles and then in the evening I walked 4.02 miles. I was proud of myself that I didn't even need to stop and rest at all! What an accomplishment because 4 months prior, I was using a walker/cane and had been on and off for years. I was previously on a lot of medications and struggled on a daily basis to do anything. I spent most days in my house. That has changed! The reasons for these changes are simple: Miracles and most importantly, Jesus!

Poems I Wrote Years Ago

A MORNING RAIN The rain drip-drops by the window pane, While the wind is blowing the weather vane. As I look through the window, it seems unclear, And the rabbits hop along like they are full of fear. The rain makes tears come to my eyes, And I think about those to whom I’ve said goodbyes. I stare out at the blowing trees, And I think of how life is like ripply seas. I think about all the past, And how time goes so fast. I sit and I wait, Until the wind stops, moving the gate. Then I look to the sky, And remember now, there’s no need to cry. As the rain stops, I become calm, And I stand up and push the window with my palm. Now it is all done, And it is finally time for the sun.                   I WAS INNOCENT As I sit here full of tears My heart is full of fears I wonder why it was me I just don’t understand; you see.   Some don’t care who they hurt And are happy to make them feel like dirt I am having trouble with it all Who will liste...

I Saw Four Angels With Jesus

I saw a glow so big and so bright The room lit up with a heavenly light. I saw a figure robed in white With a gold crown, and smile, so perfect and right I was amazed at the presence of Jesus To enter the room to show a glimpse of his goodness. With all He allowed me to witness It was overwhelming and left me breathless. On each side of Jesus stood angels in armor One was a warrior one was a protector I could so clearly see These were the two angels who had been protecting me I could clearly see the angels And the armor they possessed they had been protecting me At their very best (Jesus gave me a glimpse) And then there were 2 little boys, so beautiful and angelic in their little robes. I knew they were safe with Jesus and he put his arms around them and said everything was gonna be all right. As the light dimmed I was in awe At the goodness of Jesus, to show me a glimpse of it all And I was just left breathless I saw four angels with Jesus, all glowed so big and so bright he allowed ...
