God At Every Place By Phyllis Coats
So long I lived on the flat of the land
among the swaying palm trees and sand
down where the noise of life's sounds
are loud, invading, congested & close to the ground

I always knew that the Lord was there
to ease my many worries and cares, but
now I know He lives too among the GA pine
I hear His voice through the tree tops
" I am here for all time "

What a wonderful comfort to know
from the highest peak to the sea below
The Lord's love, salvation and grace
if you seek, His Spirit is at every place..

Dearest Friend
By Staff Writer Sharon Barrett

You are so close to me you see,
my favorite colors are the same as you see.
When flowers are in bloom I think of you.
When the grass turns to green your in my heart.

To many times people come into our lives and are gone.
Memories sweet and time passes by fast.
Flowers they never last.
But our friendship will go on for ever.

You bring a song to my heart, warmth to my soul.
You spiritually build me up and never tear me down.
You make all things right with one kind word.
God created friendship he new what was best.

Through out the years I know it will stand the test.
Always remembered, always loved, always there,
just one step from God above.
Many people say they know what is best, but you my friend just listen =
and pass the test.

In friendship there is power, love, kindness, and joy.
Through all the tests and all the trials my friend,
You have been there right to the very end.

Is Jesus Your Power?
By Phyllis Coats

Is Jesus Your Power ?

Do you allow His hand
to be the guiding force
in all events of your life ?

Do you allow His Word
to be the ruler of=20
your actions and words ?

Do you allow His Spirit
to dwell within your heart
implanting love and compassion ?

Do you allow his mercy
to live in you, forgiving
Is He your Lord and Saviour ?

Do you allow his blood
to cover and cleanse
daily, you of sin ?

Is Jesus Your Power ?

O To Be A Child Again
By Staff Writer Dianne Miller

Hurricanes and tornadoes
Cyclones and a flood
Blizzards and volcanoes
Earthquakes with their mud

Why does God allow such things
That come in and destroy
How could He be loving
If this is His great ploy

I picked up the Bible
To prove that He was wrong
Only to find within it
A heart of love so strong

The more I searched its pages
The more I understood
Why the God of all the ages
Had to shed His precious blood

It came into my heart
To finally understand
It was man's undoing from the start
But he's always shifted blame

Now when troubles come
As they surely will
I see the hand of God
And He says peace,be still

I call upon my Savior
Not only for relief
But a child in my behavior
He gives me pleasant sleep

This world is full of woe
Of sorrows every kind
But trust in Him is all you need
To have His peace of mind

Remember now those days gone by
When life seemed plain and simple
Come back and see it can be so
Complete with freckles and a dimple
