Here we are again

It has been sometime since I have been on here. Time has a way of just slipping by if we let it. Our Easter was wonderful. I am so thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ. We weren't able to go to Church, but I pray God understands. I read my Bible and study it. There's a lot of it I don't understand, but sometimes when I read something I don't understand, I will find a column in the paper by Reverend Billy Graham and he just so happens to explain it to me. I have often kept a lot of his columns and from time to time I re-read them. He sure does know a lot. He is a great preacher and I really admire him.

I love Oklahoma. I enjoy reading stuff about the run of 1889. I wrote a song about that in 1989. There was a contest in the paper. I didn't win, but I sure enjoyed writing and singing the song. I thought it was well written. Most of it I just made up as I went along, which is what I do when I write songs.
My niece that lives in North Carolina is publishing my song book. I have written 108 songs, probably more than that, but that is all she is going to put in the book, as of right now. I hope folks will buy it, but they may not. We will have to wait and see. It is gonna be a good book. Pictures in it and everything.

My husband and I celebrated 46 years of marriage on the 4th of April. That is a long time. At least it is to me.Of course we must like each other to stay together that long. He is a good man, we have tolerated each other for years, why mess with a good thing.

Well I will try to keep you informed about my new book. I think the name of it will be, "One More Row Too Go." We used to be cotton pickers and Mama always said that, whenever we wanted to quit and go to the house. So one day when I was a playing my guitar, the words just floated down to me, and that was how I wrote it. You may never hear it on radio, but that is a good song. Well that is all for now, maybe later.

    Hello . . .Welcome to my blog. My name is Grace, and I write poems, songs and play the guitar and sing. Music has always been a love of mine. I learned to play the guitar at the young age of seven(7) with the help of my sister Edna, who was 8 years older than I. Actually I got pretty good on writing and singing my songs and was able to record a gospel tape in 1989. I always say thanks to my sister Edna, for if it were not  for her I would have never got to play the guitar. I'm not much on blogging or writing but do enjoy doing it once in awhile. This is my very first. I hope you will trail along with me and enjoy..... May you always have a wonderful blessed day, and Thank God for our Savior Jesus Christ, who is My very best friend......
