Poetic Reflections.
I’m Margaret, a lifelong follower of Jesus who is still discovering more about how good, powerful and relatable our God is! My favorite way to hear from Him is through poetry that comes in my quiet times in His presence.
This website is a way to share my spiritual journey by:

Communion Glory
Twenty-seven poems gathered from a season of listening, woven through with reflections on communion, the mystery of time, the nature of God, and the finished work of the cross. A gentle, but powerful invitation into deeper union with Christ.
About the Author
Loving Life & Writing About the Love of God
Margaret married her high school sweetheart, Russell, in 1971. Their life together, first in Kansas and later in Oklahoma, centered on family, church, and their home being known for hospitality—a place of love, laughter, and praise to God.
Since her children grew up and Russell went to heaven in 2012, Margaret remains a devoted mom and grandma who loves sharing life with family and friends.
Writing has long been her love language with the Lord. Communion Glory is her sixth book and the third now available to readers. She prays it will encourage others discovering God’s goodness.
Shalom: Finding Intimacy, Seeking Home
This is a forty-day devotional about receiving the power of God’s peace. Each day’s entry contains some Scripture, teaching, and one of Margaret’s original poems.
Two Great Awakenings: Poems For The Golden Age
This book contains sixty-three more of Margaret’s poems. The included poetry is divided into two sections. The first section has poems related to the coming of a worldwide spiritual awakening. The second section is poetry about the great cultural and leadership changes coming to many nations.

Pushed Into Destiny
A friend once said to me, “Margaret, I think someday you will write a whole book of poetry.” I didn’t see how that could be since I only wrote a poem every year or so. But something supernatural happened that accelerated my poetry writing.
Finding Our Purpose
Remember when everybody always asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Some people actually knew, but probably most of us didn’t. I changed majors many times in college. As a junior wanting to change again without losing a lot of hours, I saw that my classes could all fit into a…
