I Want God To Be First In

I Myself Have Suffered Periodically From Hearing Voices At Night When I'm Trying To Sleep.

And Now, Dear Lord, I Acknowledge Afresh That You Are The God Of All Peace, My Jehovah-shalom. My Job Is To Receive. You Give Me Your Peace. My Job Is To Take It. You Lead Me To Your Still Waters. My Role Is To Follow. You Extend Your Hand. My Role Is To Take Hold. My I Enjoy Your Presence And The Tranquility Of The Still Waters Where You Pour Out Your Promise Of Peace. Amen.

I Attempt To Write A Good Novel. Whether It Is Literature Or Not Is Something That Will Be Decided By The Ages, Not By Me And Not By A Pack Of Critics Around The Globe.
