POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is my voice for change. I have 12 kids with my husband of 22 years. The poetry I write comes from books, movies, and most of all, from my life. Finally squeezed out of me by my nature like a long held breath.

Copper Pregnancy
The first 11 times
there were headaches
more like migraines
as time went on
Anemia, weakness
low blood pressure
kidneys hurting
liver struggling
hands and feet swelling
And last year three miscarriages
This pregnancy became different
the minute I started taking copper
Doing my research
I finally realized why
flouride is the go to for water
while they rip out copper pipes
I don’t need their medicine anymore
I have copper
serpent on a pole
in chemical form
there were headaches
more like migraines
as time went on
Anemia, weakness
low blood pressure
kidneys hurting
liver struggling
hands and feet swelling
And last year three miscarriages
This pregnancy became different
the minute I started taking copper
Doing my research
I finally realized why
flouride is the go to for water
while they rip out copper pipes
I don’t need their medicine anymore
I have copper
serpent on a pole
in chemical form

Never Enough
I could never do enough
to reflect your true value
You could never do enough
of that either
A forgone conclusion
is what that should be
But what should also
always be true;
you are meant for me
and I am meant for you
to reflect your true value
You could never do enough
of that either
A forgone conclusion
is what that should be
But what should also
always be true;
you are meant for me
and I am meant for you

The Strawman Cult
The belief is that Christ is the Appeaser of the Father’s fury, influencing Him to act contrary to His real character. He supposedly shows mercy when it is not in His heart or nature to do so.” - F.W.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
How could Fred Write be right when most preachers lead with John 3:16?

God’s Acts of Destruction
God is light and Life. In Him is no shadow of turning. But to say God does not have the right (or moral capability) to turn flesh to dust is to ignore that the appearance of death to God is an illusion.
For example, if a wicked man “dies” he is already dead. Therefore God isn’t turning a life to dust if he is put down. Meanwhile, the righteous have eternal life. God cannot kill him by turning his flesh to dust, even if He calls His son to come home, because he can never die.
God takes the righteous to spare him from needless suffering. He takes the wicked when his cup is...

God’s Perfection in You
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
God’s law is a good and perfect gift. Men can have good laws but if they are truly good and perfect, we know the Father gave it to us from heaven.
God forbids evil inventions and takes credit for the inspiration behind good ones. (Romans 1:30)

The Glorious People
Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” Isaiah 60:1-3.
We are made in His likeness and image. Each one, personally formed in our mother’s womb. Here the character of God is manifest in them.
“…the Holy Spirit form[s] the very character of God within. Then the outward religious actions will be the...

Linear Time in the Great War
A plot line seems easier to follow when it runs in a straight line from start to finish; beginning, middle and end, so I understand why people favor a view of time that excludes other possibilities. But that doesn’t make it right. The Bible does not describe time as linear, but relative. Observation of our natural world also reveals different time lines running at different speeds or even directions!
However every curse has a cause, and that means every plot line crossing our paths has order even if we somehow failed to notice. If you are reading this, some prior cause made you...

Using Controversy to Hide The War
IT IS NOT possible to savingly understand the character of God if it is studied independently of the great controversy between Christ and Satan” F.W. Behold Your God
As a continuing critique of Fred Wright’s philosophy (chapter 4); this sounds too much to me like “if you don’t eat from the tree to learn good vs evil you will never get the character of God.”
By beholding, we become changed, so why would we study a controversy, spending so much of our energy on understanding things which are nothing about God’s character? You learn to spot a phony by spending all your time...

Seekers Will Find Him
IN THE study of God’s character there is danger as well as blessing. It is the same danger present in all searching for heavenly wisdom and understanding.” - F.W. Behold Your God chapter 3
I wish I could ask Fred Wright myself; how dangerous could such a sincere search really be? We do not need to speculate about anything regarding God, because He has already manifested Himself to us in our innocent nature as little children.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All...

How to Kidnap Eternal Life
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.
This scripture was embedded into Chapter 2 but unfortunately for the entire second chapter the original source of the knowledge of God is...

Is it safe to say…
Three assertions are made by Fred Wright:
We are born with biases about God
Those biases shape our character
Everyone automatically has an opinion whether they know it or not
He offers the actions of one set of historical people as proof. He appeals to authority by quoting the Desire of Ages by Ellen G White. While technically correct, some did reject Jesus because of unbelief and hatred of his character; he misses a wider principle.
In Fred Wright’s book Behold Your God at the first chapter I was saddened to see that he did not magnify the truth...

If Fred Wright Could Behold Your God
A man who thought he was right
…his name was Fred Wright
also thought he could write
So tried he did
A book was born
called “Behold Your God”
He was an offshoot follower
of an offshoot
offshoot remnant
Quoting Ellen White
he penned thoughts
through the night
he thought he could see
thought he was right
But he looked for God in pages
of books quoting books
instead of the unwritten words
wrapped up in babies
so he missed the clues ...
