SECRET PLACE (" Rose" Acrylic Painting and Poem by RB)




I run to You
with outstretched arms lifted high.
Then, meet your arms
---surround me.
This is Your holy place!
This is Your secret place!
It is a Temple
then and now---
It is a resting place
where I lay my face, and,
kiss Your brow.
I can hide away.
Sometimes hear You say,
"This is my holy place!
This is our secret place!"
So, hide me again.
Though plain sight be;
Hide me now,
Within.  Free.

"TO HERALD!"

What would you do if someone, a friend, handed you a Bible as a gift, then said, "Herald!"

That is what happened to me three years ago.  I was attending a Thursday morning Prayer  Meeting.  It was a weekly commitment for me.  I commented on a Bible one of the ladies held.  It was an amplified version.  I was curious.  It is one of the few versions I did not have.  She kindly handed me the book.  "It  is yours!  And, the Lord says "To Herald!"

It was this charge that led me on my adventure with Facebook.  Then, finally, I created this Blog.  I am learning little by little as I stumble along.  And, I try to "Herald" the  Good News.

Maybe this will  help you understand  why I have such a passion.  It is burning in my heart.  The passion is not so much to preach the Gospel as it is to give you Jesus Christ.  Whatever it takes, I want to impart to you some portion of the love of God for you.
