Some of my stuff is just writings about stuff on my mind.. I know that all of it is not song material but I think some of it is. I feel like God gave me words to write down for a reason some of them were as far back as 2006. This past year I feel God pushing me to share some of it.
I just feel like I am not good enough. I know someone out there can sing my songs and touch a heart.

Aug 17th, 2017 I am still looking for that someone that can record some of my songs.

The Day You Call Me Home
A little piece of me went with you
The day God called you home
A little part of my heart is missing
Because you are gone
Heaven gained an Angel to sing in the choir
A little piece of me went with you
The day GOD called you home
I know your up there waiting
Saving a place for me
I'm down here struggling
Wanting to understand
Why you had to go so soon and leave me behind
A little piece of me went with you
The day GOD called you home
Someday we'll be together
We'll no longer be a part
Then that piece of me your holding
Can mend my broken heart
A little piece of me went you
The day GOD called you home

 AN  OLD WHITE CHURCH
I remember an old white Church where my mom and Dad would pray. It was just an old white building with windows on one side. In the summer the windows were up to let the breeze in. In the winter there was an old wood stove to keep the place warm.
I remember  where my mom and dad sat. I can close my eyes and see them sitting there. I can see Grandma and Grandpa Conklin three rolls up on the left and next to the wall.
Grandma Collins and  Aunt Betty were closer up and also on the left side.
I can see the people in the choir  singing I'll Fly Away. The Church was on fire for God not like today.
There was a reason for being there,  it was to praise God. No one worried about the time. No smart phone to wonder what was on Facebook.
Well the people I just talked about they have already flew away. They are all in Heaven now and having a ball.
But that old white Church is forever in my heart even though it was 60 years ago and the building stands no more.
My Church now is a beautiful building that replaces the old one.  There have been 3 churches  almost all in the same spot and three names.
Dixie Curve, The Malvern Church of God and now Salt Life Ministries.
Well places and names may change,  but God is the same Yesterday Today and Forever.
I don't know why God brought that old White  Church back to my remembrance. Maybe to remind me that he is the same yesterday, today and forever. Maybe to slow me down so I can think about him more.
Maybe so I can post it on Facebook and invite anyone that doesn't have a Church to come Sunday and visit Salt Life Ministries.
There have been a lot of good people on that spot of ground. I know that God is there to meet and greet.

I Dreamed

I dreamed I had a dream about you
I dreamed you were in Heaven
You were sitting beside God
Right at the feet of Jesus
I dreamed I had a dream about you
I woke and I knew I wasn't dreaming
But I know your sitting beside God
Right at the feet of Jesus
I dreamed I had a dream about you
In my dream your eyes seems to say I'm waiting
I'm waiting beside God at the feet of Jesus
I dreamed I had a dream about you
In my dream I'm reaching
I just can't touch you yet
 I know one day God will release me
Together we will be
No longer will I be dreaming
We will be beside God
At the feet of Jesus
I dreamed I had a dream about you
   In memory of Cherie Honeycutt

You Don't Have to do it Alone

If you fall he will pick you up
If you stumble he will take your hand
He won't let You lose your way
You don't have to do it alone

You don't have to do it alone
Just hang on God is on the throne
You don't have to do it alone

If the mountain your climbing is to high
And the world is crashing in on you
You feel there no where to turn
You don't have to do it alone

You don't have to do it alone
Just hang on God is on the throne
You don't have to do it alone

When you feel your prayers have no answers
And it all seems to be in vain
You don't have to do it alone

You don't have to do it alone
Just hang on GOD is on the throne
You don't have to do it alone

The 

He came to my door all dressed in splendor
He came with words of wisdom
He came and said I'm here to take away your pain
There was a chill in the air
I said let me pray a while then we can talk
The splendid way he looked
His words of wisdom
Seem to melt away
You see the devil comes in costume
He never comes as his self
Beware of the one that comes in costume
He is never what he seems to be
Pray for wisdom to know
You see if You pray the devil won't stick around
Pray in the morning Pray At noon Pray in the middle of the day Pray At night
Pray without stopping
Don't give the man in the costume a chance to stay.

So many people seem to be losing a loved one.
I pray God heals your broken heart.
This is for anyone that has lost a loved one.

A little piece of me went with you
The day God called you home
A little part of my heart is missing
Because you are gone
Heaven gained an Angel to sing in the choir
A little piece of me went with you
The day GOD called you home
I know your up there waiting
Saving a place for me
I'm down here struggling
Wanting to understand
Why you had to go so soon and leave me behind
A little piece of me went with you
The day GOD called you home
Someday we'll be together
We'll no longer be a part
Then that piece of me your holding
Can mend my broken heart
A little piece of me went you
The day GOD called you home
