If you want to see God and feel His presence, you can find it in abundance in a child. Our Bible teaches us that âchildren are a gift from God and that childrenâs children are a crown to the aged and the parents are a pride to their children. âI have been so very blessed by God to be the recipient of an awesome, incredible family that only God could create.
Believe me, I have enjoyed every second of my childrenâs, my grandchildrenâs, and my great grandchildrenâs lives. Being a major part of their lives had brought me closer to Our Father God than anything else. My lap has been the place of many stories and lifeâs lessons, prayers, and the healings. Itâs the little things in their lives that linger in my memory longer and bring me much joy!

Jolene is a mother of 2 and a grandmother of 2. She is still living happily with David and still writing, turning her life into poetry and short stories.
âI was given this moment of time to allow me the way to go home or a split second of reaction time to stay. I knew I would only have that second to react, and my mind knew what it needed to do. We both were feeling as if we were paralyzed, as we could think but couldn’t move. Remember, time was standing still for us, and we were in that moment of time. Just as time was very slowly starting to kick in for us both, I was able to begin lifting my arm to block the axe, (still in slow motion). The axe was coming right at me, and I knew if I missed, the axe was going to kill me in front of my son. I knew it would be lights out for me, but tragedy for Aubrey. It’s funny how we both knew and both could see that my life was going to end. I believe that in life we have checkpoints-points in life we can choose to go home by or continue on in life if we want to continue. For me this was a checkpoint, but what would that mean for Aubrey? Could you imagine being with someone you love and watching an axe split them open, before your very eyes? That was not a moment I wanted Aubrey to bear. I knew I couldn’t leave such a loving being with such tragedy to deal with. This was not going to happen. I was going to go on for yet another day.â

Her poetry is inspired by the Holy Spirit, many times with an instructional focus. She received and discovered this gift to write poetry in her latter years of teaching. In her first book People of God â One and All: Saints and Sinners, different aspects of being a saint and a sinner were explored. In both parts of this new anthology, the poetry includes a variety of topics for meditation and self- reflection. In People of God-One and All: Come and BeâŠ, Part 1 she explores the concepts of grace, relationships, and sacred struggles. In Part 2 she explores this through the wonder of God, the production of fruits evolving through faith, and how to be bold in faith. Both books explore and ponder upon the ideas of faith, relationships with God and each other, and what is expected in carrying out oneâs faith. Scripture passages for further study and references are provided with most of the poems to further question and reflect on oneâs faith and how to mature oneself and share faith with others.
In retirement, she quilts with many being made for philanthropy projects locally and around the world. Additionally, she reads, does genealogy, and actively participates in church activities.
