About dforchrist

I am a 60+-year-old Christian, live in Indiana with my husband and 3 cats, and love Jesus. God has been giving me the ability to write incredible poems lately as well as the urge to share them. I pray they touch you as He intends.

Salvation’s Song

Posted on February 14, 2013 by dforchrist

139th Psalm

Posted on February 1, 2013 by dforchrist

This one came to me in the middle of the night. Insomnia usually doesn’t equal inspiration for me; it usually just causes incoherence. When God speaks, however, the words are clear and beautiful, even if I’m exhausted and muddle-headed. Enjoy … Continue reading →
