    About this ebook

    A Journey with Jesus is a collection of poems inspired by God for the journey to know Him more. It was April 1972, two weeks before Easter that my father died. My world crumbled..I knew there had to be a deeper faith. My journey began as I intentionally sought to know Him through Bible study and in reading His Word. The following Easter, I realized with deeper understanding, that Jesus death was Gods unmerited gift to me. I understood the paradox of death.. A terrible loss but also, a gift. The death of Jesus brought the gift of eternal life; my dads death led me on a journey to understand the magnitude of Gods great gift. My journey with Jesus began in 1972 and continues today.

    I believe that as you read these poems in your own quiet time, you too, can hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and become that little lamb who loves the shepherd.

      God placed special people in my path as I began this journey to know the living Christ—Christian friends in our Thursday Prayer Group and those who were in various Bible Studies through the years; many of the Pastors who were sent our way all helped my faith to grow. Family members, especially Mother, were encouragers and inspired some of these verses. The strong faith of my brother, Ralph and his wife, Vermelle were buoys along the journey to keep me on course. I am especially grateful for Jordan, the love of my life for putting up with me and allowing me space to bring this to fruition.

      For our godchild, Heather Pflug Denham, I am indebted for her desire and willingness to be my typist and editor. She is married to Sean, and they have three young children: Stephen, Seth, and Savannah. It was a God thing that she would even consider this endeavor. Her computer skills and her time management abilities, along with God’s help, made it possible. What a tremendous work she did, and I am grateful. She carries God’s light wherever she is to be a light to others.

      Dedicated to God in thanksgiving for our family,

      which is my most prized possession

      Preface

      img01.jpg

      It was April 1972, two weeks before Easter, that my father died. My world crumbled . . . . my brother and I grew up in a very close family. Mother and Daddy were united in their faith, and they lived it very clearly before us. There was never a time that I can remember of not having God in my life. I often prayed for His guidance and sensed His direction, especially during my teen and college years. However, the mystery of death seemed greater than my faith. There had to be more—more that God would have me understand. When I asked Jesus to put the pieces together for me, I remember feeling that
