Thank you, Debilynn for my new nametag!

My new prayer. Thanks, Jeannie D. for the first line, from one of your poems:
My priorities must be aligned with what matters most
Please help me, Dear Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

I am a 52 year old woman who lives in New England,
which is in the Northeastern region of the US.
I am married and have one son, age sixteen.
I write song lyrics and poetry, sing, teach
and design items for my Christian Community
as needed.

I hold a BFA in Graphic Design. I occasionally
freelance as a graphic designer
(emphasis on free, LOL) and have designed
a line of greeting cards with my verse,
scripture verses and photographic images,
many of which I've photographed and edited.
I have shown them to family and friends,
have sold a few, and have gotten an overall good
response. My next goal is to place these cards in
some Christian bookstores and retreat centers
in my area. My plan right now is to print them myself.

I joined the graphics groups here on AP
and have learned how to design borders and backgrounds.
It is totally addicting, especially if you like art
or design. Please check out my borders,
backgrounds and graphics lists her on my author's page.
Feel free to use any from the first list here.

I suffer from fibromyalgia and clinical depression,
but I am taking steps to improve this part of my life.

My poetry rules:
1. Less is more.
2. Show, Don't tell.

Diane is a gifted poet and a humble servant of God.
She is a doting Mom and Grandmom,
her husband's delight, and a loyal, loving friend.

Diane wrote this poem about our friendship.
I couldn't be more pleased!

Freed by Mercy

Despite my failings
her friendship is unfailing;
She knows my tender aches
and speaks in Epsom salts;
We laugh together,
startling butterflies to dance!

She creates beauty,
sharing bouquets from her heart
through her fingers.

A delightful friend with whom to
lament laundry in Latin,
giggle at goof-ups,
focus on family.

She spell-checks my poetry
and reality-checks me!

Together finding forgiveness,
relying on repentance,
glorifying God,
searching by the lamp
of the Spirit,
rejoicing to be
Freed by Mercy!



My wonderful, generous, loving, brave,
talented and inspiring sisters.
Each faces adversity in her live,
paddling on through storms of pain,
thankful for sun-kissed days.
I love you all!

Love Will See Us Through
by Tory (PassionsPromise)

(dedicated to Freed By Mercy)

Upon the mantle of an old fireplace,
a picture perfect painting of us.
As words recover and ink went dry,
we enjoy the memories of love's grace.

Of long ago, when vows were made,
for better or worse we'll fight.
To keep all the promises back then
as we overcome burdens in life.

Within your arms I remained cherished,
whether or not the storm battles in.
Two precious hearts have never perished,
no matter the sorrows given...

Love will see us through....
