From the author: These poems are an accumulation of my efforts to express feelings and thoughts all along my journey with Jesus. You will notice a wide range of emotions and ideas, some almost contradictory. Hopefully you will find comfort and be uplifted as you read and recognize yourself in some of the poems.Various stages of spiritual growth and maturity are represented-from the early confession and acceptance of God's mercy through Jesus Christ, then the wandering years with its struggles to understand what life throws at us, to the later realization that we can truly "be still and know that I am God." And be ready for the final journey to Jesus.It is my hope that pastors and Christian ministers in diverse capacities (missionaries, evangelists, Sunday school teachers, workers in Christian education, Bible study group leaders, etc.) will find some of the verses useful in their ministry.You will certainly notice traces of my multi-denominational background. I pray that my words will not offend anyone's theology. The poetry sticks to basic Christian doctrine across all denominational lines and tries to avoid political, social, and theological controversies.May God bless you as you read!
Milledgeville's Sesquicentennial Murders tackles the story of Marion Stembridge, a white man charged with murder of a black teenage girl in 1949, but convicted of manslaughter by an all-white, all-male jury, and sentenced to prison. He never served a day in any jail. A genius suffering from mental illness, he used "ole time Southern conniving" to have a local judge cancel the decisions of the Georgia Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.During the time the case was travelling through higher courts, the Internal Revenue Service began to investigate his tax returns. Stembridge informed the two agents they would be $10,000 better off each if they went away. He was to be sentenced for attempted bribery on May 4, 1953. On May 2, while his home town, the former capital of Georgia, Milledgeville, began to celebrate a weeklong party in honor of it's founding 150 years before, Stembridge shot and killed two attorneys, one his own and the other his wife's divorce attorney. The killings made news nation-wide, and newspapers gave the story higher recognition than they gave the Kentucky Derby upset of Native Dancer.The book lays to bed the rumors spread for seventy years and still moving through Milledgeville. The author details the previously unknown legal shenanigans he used, and his desperation, to stay out of jail. The community held its birthday party after funerals delayed the festivities.
