Lord, I’m a little rusty- My knees don’t bend enough- When I’m talking to You- My elbows squeak when- Asked to give money- My eyes are out of focus Lord- Please adjust them to see Your- Way more clearly- My nose gets a little out of joint- Sometimes it needs straightening- Sometimes I’m tootin’ my horn so loud- I fail to see the needs of others- My deflated feet need to be pumped up- So I can go where You send me- My arms need lubricating so I can- Stretch out to help others- Sometimes I’m just sputtering along- I know I need high-test but- The junk tastes so good- Lord, my distributor needs distributing- My battery is low- It needs to be recharged- With Your wisdom- Sometimes I feel like I’m going the wrong- Way down a one way street- Lord, please steer me in the right direction- Sometimes I’m in such a hurry that others- Are left behind in my exhaust fumes- Give me a ticket so I’ll obey Your law- According to Your manual, I don’t pass Inspection- I need repair work done- Lord, You’re the only One Who can give me a tune-up- **** Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

About the Book
If you think that you are small and insignificant in this vast world that God created, think again. As a teen, I was saddled with the nick-name of “Giggles.“
Usually I would break out in uncontrollable giggles at a time when I should seriously be listening. One time I said something to my best friend, Mary Beth, in choir. We started silently laughing, trying not to be heard. The Pastor was preaching, I was shaking, then all of a sudden with a loud gasp, I gulped in air. Everything stopped and was deathly quiet. When I looked up, the Pastor and the whole church was looking at me-
As an adult my nick-name turned from “giggles” to “Trouble.” I didn’t cause big problems, it was more just mischievousness. After saying numerous times that I would never take Precept because I could never imagine studying the Bible one verse at a time, God put me in Precept. During the study of Hebrews, I was doing my homework and got frustrated because it was difficult for me to understand. All of a sudden, the Holy Spirit took control of my pen and led me to write, “Lord, I Don’t Understand.” It only took about ten minutes. I could not have possibly written it on my own especially since this was my first writing.
I promised the Lord that I would give that writing out to as many people as I could. I sent that out instead of Christmas cards that year. It is also in our Church prayer room to be sent out in prayer grams. I am so concerned with how people are not taking God seriously. I am also concerned with how they are trying to make God’s Word say something different to fit their lifestyle. God warns us to not add or take away from the words of the prophecy of His Book.
Now God has led this small town girl to do a book of writings and paintings. I am not perfect and God is still working in me. Always keep in mind that God loves us just the way we are, but if we love God, we will change. We hear so many lies now a days that it’s hard to know what to believe. I believe in God’s Word. It is the truth and so goes my title because I’m not one to beat around the bush. “Tell It Like It Is, Make No Bones About It.”
