Early in my life one of the things on my "bucket list" was to write beautiful poetry. However, try as I might I was never able to get past "roses are red, violets are blue". Many years later, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said, "write these words". I sat at the keyboard listening and typing as fast as I could. Each of the poems in this book happened like that, a prompting from that "still small voice". For now it is available from: kattskomments.blogspot.com/   www.authorsden.com/kathrynneffperry

A new excerpt from The Shorter Version, page 204 MILITARY LIFE My son thinks he wants to join the Army or the Navy. He's not aware that he won't be allowed to sleep in on Saturday.  He says he's tired of me nagging him about taking out the trash or picking up his clothes.  As he walks through the house you can tell where he's been. His shoes or boots and socks are usually in the family room. His coat is on a dining room chair. And he normally leaves a gun part or a knife on the kitchen counter, right beside the peanut butter jar.  His eating habits are strange too. It's not strange for him to eat a box of cereal, or a box of Pop Tarts in one day.  He usually sits in front of the TV with a gallon of milk and a box of cereal and a large mixing bowl.  His idea of a rough day is not shooting a deer, or catching a 50 pound fish.  When he comes home from work he likes to take a nap while I'm cooking dinner, and if he falls asleep he doesn't want us to turn off the TV because it will wake him.  He thinks military life would be a lot easier than home.  All he needs me to do is write down most of my recipes, just in case he doesn't like whatever they cook for him.
