Once in a great while we are given the privilege of meeting an old soul with great wisdom and faith, one from whom we can gain much learning. If we meet one of these humble souls we will never get them to admit they have anything to teach us. The author knows differently. He has had the privilege to sit in the presence of one who has lived eighty-five years, hear her stories, gain sage advice, and learn, that what at face value might be seen as grim circumstances are, in fact, gateways to journeys of faith. Mrs. Rice provides profound evidence of a solid Christian faith in her deeply moving and simple poems and in her responses to the harshest circumstances life has to offer. Despite the death of her husband, a daughter, and the complete paralysis of her son following an auto accident, she will, with the greatest sincerity, tell anyone who will listen that God has been good to her. She is living proof that Faith is more than enough to face the greatest challenges of life. It is her wish that her poems and life story would be a testimony to her Faith in the One who has carried her through the deep valleys. These poems and her stories are her gift of thanks. Mr. Johnson's role was limited to seeing the great value in these stories and poems. He performed the barest minimum of editing of her poems and stories. Some things don't need improving. - House of Clement
