John said it best - “For God so loved the world that He sent his only begotten Son.” Thank God!
*photo by TWT/JW. I drew the picture. Jim Williams etched it into the piece of leather. I stained it. It currently hangs in my house. Jim and I met in graduate school at Saint Louis University, many moons ago. He was in Chemistry. I degreed in Clinical Psychology. Jim and I became lifelong friends. I now a poet; Jim, retired as well, wrote Fingerprints: A Book of Personal Prayer. I’ve learned much from Jim. Anything can be a prayer ( There! You wrote a poem and said a prayer). Jim has inspired me to weave prayer into much of my poetry, poetic prayer. When I’m a knocking on heaven’s gate, I’m gonna tell them, “I know Jim Williams.”
