New authors will become favorites, and some former favorites\u00a0 will fade into the past because we are still developing, forever.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During the decades of higher education, we narrow down our focus to take a deeper path into what is particularly of personal\u00a0 interest in our education years. As my\u00a0 three degrees reveal, I have a deep love for fine art and English literature (Poetry).<\/p>\n<p>For me, the path during those years was my interest in poetry and in my faith. Thus, as the decades have passed, I&#8217;ve collected books that are valuable to me, and books by particular\u00a0 American poets and Christian writers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yes, it is true.\u00a0 Packages arrive and some of those packages contain the first copies of a newly published book.\u00a0 I took this photo of a package of books, left on my porch\u00a0 in April 2017.<\/p>\n<p>What was in this package?<\/p>\n<p>The box contained the first copies of my new book, Walking by Inner Vision: Stories &amp; Poems.<\/p>\n<p>You can imagine how my discovery of this package changed my entire day.\u00a0 I am sure I was smiling the entire day &#8211; and beyond.\u00a0 When I held this new book in my hands for the first time, I really have no words that would convey that feeling of happiness and joy at the finished product I had working on for TEN years!<\/p>\n<p>The first ten years of sight loss were difficult and challenging.\u00a0 I had to learn new ways of reading and writing.\u00a0 This first book, written during those first 10 years,\u00a0 brought new life to me and gave me the opportunity to live on this new path of writing making art in new ways.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DXOK-1ed8QU\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Scripture_<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<h4>Isaiah 28:10 (NKJV)<\/h4>\n<p>For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, and there a little.<\/p>\n<h4>Question:<\/h4>\n<p>Do you realize that God&#8217;s deepest desire is for you to grow IN Him?<\/p>\n<p>Reading Gods WORD will bring growth to you as you learn the precepts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"m-x-content\" class=\"D5ad8b\">\n<div class=\"s7d4ef X6JNf PFXse\">\n<div id=\"tsuid_nxzZadPvJsepptQPnMGAwQk_46\" class=\"bsmXxe\" role=\"none\"><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"tsuid_nxzZadPvJsepptQPnMGAwQk_45\" class=\"bsmXxe\" role=\"none\">_Daily Action Plan<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>1_Treat yourself\u00a0 to a new\u00a0 devotional book!\u00a0 Spend some time in a favorite book store, or an on-line book store, and see what books are there that would be interesting to you.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 Perhaps you might select a new author or poet, and purchase a book by that person.<\/p>\n<p>3.
