Jimmie, your church poems are especially beautiful! Such an encouraging read, especially during this advent season. Thank you for sharing. I'm sure that your church cherishes your wonderful gift of writing.

Marisa, thank you! I'm very glad you liked them. I'll have the other two to complete the Advent cycle in the issue two weeks from now.

I have to say, I am really glad you are not an elderly Baptist church organist from the 1930s. Your poems are uniquely YOU, and I'm so proud of you for putting them out into the world (specifically, your church community) for others to see.

I also really like the feel of the Smokey piece. It's folksy and honest, and I would really like to see more of what you experiment with.

Between us, I'm awfully glad I'm not an elderly Baptist church organist from the 1930s either. I'd be awfully old now -- just a little bit older than I am now!
