I never thought about writing a book. One day, while in my LLV, God instructed me to take out my pen and paper and begin writing.

That was the beginning. From then on, I write the words He tells me to, none are my own.

This book is a collection of poems about personal experiences in my life and some that are written for others. These poems are about hope, forgiveness, kindness, understanding and love.

They are also about fears and failures yet always coming back to God's love and forgiveness. I hope this affects everyone who reads this as it has the friends, family and strangers that I have read these to.

I may not know until I reach heaven who these words have helped, but I know that I wrote all of them because God told me to. May the love and peace of our God and Almighty Savior bless and keep you forever.

I have been a mail carrier in the New Mexico Permian Basin for over six years. I was born and raised in the Roman Catholic Faith and was taught to serve God above all else.

I was blessed with the perfect parents for me. I have received more blessings than I can count and deserve.

Going to heaven is my only goal. My pen name was bestowed upon by Scott from KLOVE's Scott and Kelli Show.
