I loved “i Got You”because it is exactly what God is constantly saying to us in so many ways I can’t count them all. He has us, messed up as we are, sinners in truth, but He sees the diamond inside us and breaks it free to bring us to Him. I love your work and than you for reading mine also. jlehman1945 And do you have any contacts in the publishing world. I would like to get my special form of writing, Prosity,” acknowledged and in my name. To make it my brand. And also I would like to find out about publishers so perhaps I could see if they are interested in my work. Thanks much. jlheman1945

Just keep writing. You are doing well.
T.A.
