Just received a letter from a prisoner in Georgia who got my address from the Journal. He told me a bit about what caused him to be incarcerated and his desire to learn more of Christian Science. Am sending him a copy of a poem from one of my books, And Angels Smile. Thought I'd share it with my readers out there in cyberspace as well.
A New Life, Starting Now
(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell
You've done bad things;
You were seduced by the world,
And you're sorry you let yourself be.
But don't despair:
It's not too late for you.
You can begin again,
Wipe your slate clean.
Say to God right now,
And in your heart mean,
From this time on,
I intend to live my life
To honor Your Holy Son.
And look what awaits you:
"If any man be in Christ,
He is a new creature."
(II Cor. 5:17)
"Any man, the Bible says.
And that my friend --
Now right with God --
Covers you.
