Straight from the Heart


Caramel & Coffee
and the sound of the shore
hold me close. I'll open the door.

Rachmaninoff & Mr. Yo Yo Ma
causes the rain. water my jaw.
better than ever - quelling the maw

Pads on the sand & crunch of my Boots
hair gone to heaven. tossed at the roots.
listening to God and seagull flutes

Hands like waves & Keys like sand
tear up the silence as I run 'cross the land
filthy rags as my offering... sorrowfully placed on the stand.

and... my conscience convicts
with school's dodge-ball picks
Here I am. stones and sticks.

Blind to the light so oft forgot
opening mind to the realization of rot
help me heal! forget! changing my plot.

Here's the truth on a bed of sweet hay
lacking the poem. will you listen today?
smother it softly - it won't hurt that way

A heart & a Boy
living proof the soul's not a toy
part of the ploy. learning true joy.

Killing the Pharisee
don't you see? It's me!
Martyr no longer - how can it be?

Katie died & Jesus Christ Lives
Washing, rewashing in the blood he gives
clinging to hope though life's hardest drives

Maybe I don't & Maybe you do
Is it a secret? would you tell me true?
Counted as one, as one of the few




May I always count the hardest things in this life as blessings. As ropes that bind my heart to that of my creator. Now, right now, I am going through Jeremiah and hungrily drinking every word from Jehovah Rapha, the God who is our healer.

This is going to be tough. God seems to be asking me to make some drastic changes in my life. BUT I don't care! All I want is Jesus! Fear of man, what others think of me, is going to be hard to root out of my life. That's okay. I don't care about what is hard, only about what is right.

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise” (Ps. 51:17).

How amazing to be able to approach the throne of God with confidence. (Heb 4:16)

Please continue to pray for me friends. My desire to please God could so easily warp into a work-based system where I try to "DO" my way into heaven.

I am praying for you as well.

I pray that you would seek to KNOW GOD and that he would surround you with believers. That you would be unable to escape from his LOVE and his INSTRUCTION. May the soil of your life be tilled and fertilized, ready to bring forth fruit from the WORD of our LORD GOD - Yahweh, the Prince of Peace.

In the name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. - - - - - -Katie
