I know of no one I have more respect for on FS than you. All these years, I go in and out to speak and teach and write. And when I come back to FS, there you are. Andl what do you do? You bless me with a read, a review, and a six!
Thank you, Dawn. A blessed Christmas. -Bill

I love your presentation in this poem. It really is an attention grabber. And it tells the real story with accuracy. Also love your stairway. It too is an eye-grabber.

I did enjoy the way that you structured your poem, very inventive. This poem spoke to me of the many ways that a person can travel and find God, very well constructed.

Comment from ESOSTINE
The Lord calls us individually in unique ways. The way you patterned your poem, forming a stairway created a visual image of the poem. Well done, dear William for the creativity displayed in this poem of Christmas. Good luck in the contest.

This piece encourages deep reflection. I could appreciate what you were trying to do with the formatting, that staircase effect. I think it was fairly useful and strengthened the overall impact of the writing. Congratulations on your work!

Comment from royowen
I think for all of, when I came to Christ, or rather He came to me, I wasn't expecting it, my life reached new depths and concerns, but He turned my mourning into dancing, my despair into hope, my downward flight unto the mountain top. May the peace and love of God in Christ Jesus be with you and yours at this auspicious time Nill,, to you and yours from me and mine, blessings Roy.

I was worried you wouldn't read this. i've been busy entering contests this week. Another just a few minutes ago. Thank you, Roy. You have no idea what it means to me to have you review what I write and post. Only about one out of 30 writes is made public. But this one was very personal. A blessed Christmas. BTW, I'm going to Dallas for Christmas. Oh, dear. -Bill

I receive all your work Bill, your a favourite with me, Merry Christmas
