Free

It may just be
that waking up
behind the bars
of your own
personal prison

Submission to the Spirit

Minaqua 0000000000 1588

Prayer faithfully punctuated
by submission to the Spirit
opens the floodgates to grace

healing waters of Divine Love.

A Powerful Mix

with a slice of gratitude,
is a powerful mix
that will truly add zest
to your life.

exists in my own house.
