I was reared in the small oilfield boom town of Wilson, Oklahoma. My life is entwined with the red earth of this land. I worked for the state of Oklahoma for over 30 years. My earliest memories of family life center around our front porch or our kitchen. My family life was filled with love, laughter, song, and at times tear filled prayers. My Granny offered sage advise to people who dropped by as well as troubled family members. It was always based on Bible principles. My Granddaddy never spanked me. He would sit me in a rocker with a Bible and verses that covered which sin I'd committed, until that particular lesson sank into my brain. I was saved at a young age, and my poetry reflects my journey through life, my struggles, as well as my questions to God. My hope is that this book will lead others to a close friendship with God and give comfort to those going through a struggle. Jennye Preston
