The five year old boy who had always been so bubbly and full of life, sat stoic and disturbed. His face was contorted with whatever inner turmoil that vexed him. Suddenly he burst into a fit of protest. Kicking and screaming like a wild animal, this formerly obedient child shamelessly disobeyed every warning the adults around him dished out. Discipline on that day had no effect. Only the wisdom of a tender-hearted grandmother saw through the outrage and viewed a terribly wounded…

The Lord Is Not Your Husband
Lord yes, Lover no
Coming Spring, 2009!
Placed in human beings are the needs and desires necessary for reproduction. Along with these natural desires, comes personal gratification, as well as, pleasure. All of these are important to the continuance of the life cycle. Without them, humanity would become…

When Night Falls
When night falls, do you have a place to lay your head?
Or do you search for a cubby hole or a card board box to crawl into?
Maybe you’re blessed enough to have relatives or friends,
Or maybe you’re not.
While it is day, it’s okay
You can walk the streets or seek shelter in a mall or restaurant.
But when night falls,
It’s natural to find a place to lie.
While others are going into their abodes and shutting the…

Caged
Freedom to dwell wherever I tread
Not confined to locations with boundaries
Zoning, districts, busing
Unleash me so I can roam free
To see mountains and rivers and trees of all sorts
To open up and breathe in fresh air
Somewhere where the sky is not blocked
but in plain view
Uncage me so I can go FREE.

Holding On
Reaching, reaching I can’t stop now.
I have got to make it no matter how.
Stepping stepping, I’ve got to keep the pace
Grace, more grace to run this race.

How Do You Really Feel?
Good morning.
How are you?
I’m fine.
How are you?
Are you always fine when you say those words?
Or are you being repetitious in your everyday greetings.
If you stop to say how you really feel,
Your morning greetings might turn into evening goodnights.

A Blank Sheet
They enter blameless into this world, like a blank sheet of paper.
New, fresh, clean, spotless,
Just waiting to be written on,
Who will be the first to write?
Will it be Ms. Incest, Mr. and Mrs. Poverty, Madam Rape to name a few?
Or, maybe Sir Death will sign in before the others do.

Noises, curses, poverty all around
There’s hardly a moment when there is no sound.
Sad faces, stagnation, ambitions low.
Nothing is fast, it all seems so slow.

You Alone
You wish to move that block of stone,
to make an opening,
to pave a way.
You steadily push it before you.
Sometimes you tire.
But somehow, within, you find the strength to push.
Your walk is like beach sand.
IT IS ONLY YOU

What people are saying about I AM...new release by Tate Publishing
AN EXTREMELY INSIGHTFUL REVIEW
I just finished reading a newly released book called
I AM by Linda Wright. In a nutshell it is an absolutely awesome spiritual book sharing how vital God is as a constant friend in our lives, as well as how important it is to let go and let him help us make healthy spiritually based decisions.
After reading this book I am reminded how truly…

I AM
For Christmas and 2009 I wish you the Power of the Name of Jesus!
To Moses at the burning bush, God revealed His Name: I AM (Ex. 3: 14) He is the God of Now: He is ever present. He forgives the past, He will guide you through the future, but He is concerned with who you are and what you are going through right now!
As a Child Of The Most High God, I Can Say With Confidence:
I AM - A Child of God (Rom. 8:16)
I AM - Redeemed from the Hand of…

Ho, Ho, Ho and a Merry Christmas to all! Some folks seem to cringe with what is now considered the PC Happy Holidays. The fact is though; the term isn't a new one. In fact, I start using it before Thanksgiving. Even if you are a strict "traditionalist" of the Christian flavor in the good ol' US of A there are three different holidays that effect the last 2 months of the year (don't forget New Year's Eve). I was always taught that three makes a group…

Whenver I'm sitting down - which isn't very often - I feel compelled to be reading something. Anything. Even the back of a cereal box. I've loved books since mom and dad read aloud to me as a little sprout. If I'm not reading, I'm usually writing. My newest title,
Guys and Other Near Humans was released last spring by Uncial Press.
I've authored ten books to date, including…

I have just written a child’s book named "
Lady Flatterley"
As a nurse, I have been inspired by my grandchildren to write books, especially books on the wonders of nature whether it be fictional or non-fictional. I would like to see children grow up to appreciate God’s creation that is so unmistakably displayed at the dawn of each new day. I feel there are so many distractions out in this world that can lead the child from learning about the important values in life. To her,…

I'm a widowed, homeschooling mom of a 13 year old child. I've been writing since age 11, but sold a children's story about 15 years ago. I just got back into writing in September, 2008. I've written 5 books so far: The Gift of Healing for Today's Believer, it's translation into Spanish (also done by me) titled, El Don de Sanidad Divina para el Creyente de Hoy, Toxic Religion, Reiki Healing Made Easy (where I attune people for free to become healers), and my newest book just finished and soon to…

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
God hears your prayers and guides you - even in the worst possible circumstances. Oh, He’s so good! All I want to do is shout! Why? Because He surely is “the Lord that healeth thee.” (Ex. 15:26) and a “rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” (Heb. 11:6)
I must give God the glory for all the wonderful things He has done! For years I had…
