Pearls from the Throne

is a collection of poems written through the years, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Many were written as I sat in the presence of God in camp meeting services in Ashland, Virginia, under the ministry of Ruth Carneal, Jane Lowder, Wallace Heflin, Jr., Ruth Heflin, and others. Some poems were written to encourage close friends. Some gave honor to people who had a big part in my spiritual walk. Some speak of nations, some of familiar Bible stories. There are some special poems that God gave me while on a mission trip to Africa in 1990, giving a clarity and simplicity to the Gospel. I pray that all who read these words will be blessed and challenged to know the Lord in a greater way.
