Introduction...
About Life...
is
...about life. It’s about learning by experience. It’s about
learning
to make life easier by learning to draw closer to our Heavenly
Father,
His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

Spiritually uplifting poems are letters from the Holy Ghost
and usually come after trials, tribulations, a spiritual experience or a
teaching moment. If you have a poem from such a
moment and you feel it would help someone else and would like

The Story behind these poems
I believe every good thought is a message from the Holy
Ghost. Inspiration from the other side of the Veil. The poem,
The Victim,
is the first poem I ever wrote. It came in Nov. of '97, after a Priesthood lesson I gave on
Christ's
Atonement. As I thought about the lesson afterwards, I tried
to imagine how the Atonement worked. Three days later, while traveling to work,
that poem came to me as I was driving along. I scribbled it
down as fast as I could, trying to drive and write at the same time. From start
to finish, the whole thing was on paper in one half hour. Each poem has it's
own story of inspiration behind it. Of all the poems I've
written, I only sat down to write three of them. The rest came in fairly similar
fashion. Always after pondering a matter, trial or instance and fairly
quickly. Therefore, I affectionately call these
poems, "Letters from the Holy Ghost." Each will help you in a different way. Because of the circumstance behind the writing of,
The
Victim, I've not felt right about changing it. Even to polish the
sentences for better rhyming purposes. So I hope you enjoy these poems and I
hope they bless your life as they have blessed ours.
For the Latter-day Saint, I think there are at least
six you should ponder
yourself;
The Victim, The Light,
A Secret About Priesthood Blessings,
The Formula
The Power That Faith Brings
and, Will

When we married we were two people. As we fell
deeper in love, we became two halves.
As we fell deeper still, we became one. Two people, two halves, to one.
Life...
...is a gift from God. It is His college of higher
learning. If we are observant, then life,
at the direction of God, becomes a great teacher. Consequently, if we will take
the initiative
to improve ourselves, quite often we can escape the trials that are given us
...to improve us.
The Great Battle In Life
The great battle in life ...tis not what you think it would be.
Not troubles, getting ahead, anger or even war and weaponry.
Tis not trying to deal with others, suffering pain or overcoming evil,
tis conquering of the body by spirit, showing who has the greatest will.
Samuel-LDS

A Police Officers Prayer
Dear God,
Grant me the strength to protect those who cannot protect
themselves,
the wisdom to serve my community to the best of my ability,
and the courage to face what ever stands in the way.
In the Lord’s name, Amen.
(unk)
...dedicated to Three friends...
One cannot adequately express the love he has in his heart for
The Father,
Son and Holy Ghost. Especially when one finally realizes just
how indebted
he is to Them. Because of The Father, I was granted life and
opportunity. Because of His Son, I was granted The Gift of Salvation and a
pathway
back home. Because of The Holy Ghost, I have a constant
companion, comforter and mentor. And because of Their love for me, I have the
opportunity to be with Them, and my wife and family, ...
forever.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna,
to God and the Lamb.
And to Julie. She was first my girlfriend, then my wife, then
my eternal
companion. Today, she is, and has always been, ...my very best friend.
And to my ever growing family, who brings me more joy than I can express.
