First of all, this group of psalms are not inspired as the Scriptures in the Bible. They are not Scriptures. The psalms offered in this collection are my prayers where I pour my heart out to God on various topics. In some of the psalms I adopt a persona for writing the psalm. In other words, I try to imagine myself in the situation of the psalm. Most of my psalms are not written in this manner. I talk to God about the events of the day in our area and around the world. There is no lack of things to pray about and talk with our Heavenly Father. I write psalms for friends who are going through various struggles. I share them with my friends to let them know how deeply I care for them and their circumstances I would like to recognize a dear friend, Dana Bently Black, who encouraged me to publish my psalms. We have known her for over 12 years. She was our real estate agent for purchasing out home.
