Poetic Reflections.

my latest collection
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 quiet 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 a home always open to guests.
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, and she prays it will encourage others discovering God’s goodness.
