Ms Johnette Moore was the winner of the Poetry Contest. Her submitted poem is titled "The Road To Destiny". This poem is located on the Feature Poem weekly tab to your left. The winning poem was chosen by creativity, language and content. This poem was very inspirational!
A few words about Ms. Johnette Moore:
God has used this gift to bring Johnette through some of the most
difficult and trying times in her life. She is an avid writer looking to
be published. She journals her thoughts and sentiments through essays,
articles and poetry.. "Writing is my passion". Through writing Ms. Moore
has learned to engage the presence of God and it is a daily prayer that
those writings "produced by my hand will draw folks into God's presence
and encourage them to seek intimacy with Him".. In addition to writing,
her joy is made complete when she stands to minister poetry at
weddings, funerals and other gatherings.
Outpourings... "written
through me"
Congratulations to you, Ms Moore for a job well done!

am humbled... to God be the glory"!

expression, through words. I tell my students say what you mean, and
mean what you say whenever there is a disagreement, and before you know
it, it's settled and over. Because they know what that expression
means. I say we all write till our fingers cramp, Let your words ring.
I know mine will".
