Lord God,
You sent
Your only Son,
To save us from
The wrong we’ve done.
So, when we turn to you,
And run,
The battle of our lives
Is won,
For you are God,
The Holy One,
Who loves us,
And refuses none.

Ruth, I love the artwork you now put on your posts and also your new avi … your poems too of course! ☺ xxx
Thank you so much! You might like to know that yesterday I met a website designer for the very first time – a huge technological plunge for me. Starting next Tuesday, we will be working together to design my site properly, make it much easier for people to use and do searches, and organise all the correspondence properly in one place. Aaagh! XXXXXXXX
I like your site just the way it is, Ruth, but if it makes things easier to use then that’s good and it will be an interesting project. Have fun! ☺
Let’s hope the changes won’t try your patience, and that it will indeed be easier for everyone to use. I’m looking forward to it, and it’s time to move forward, I think XXXXXX
Love the poem! Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you! xxxxx
