    I am the author of nine books. I am self taught in writing nonfiction and poetry. I just write what comes to my heart and mind like visions that match my faith in Jesus Christ. I give glory to Jesus through my poetry and I hope people will come to know Him through my life story and the poetry given to me in inspiration to write.

      DEDICATION

      Everyone is thrown life’s curve, we either swing and miss or take it and wait for the next pitch.

      But what about those already given two strikes before their life even begins, because of a few drinks during pregnancy. Whatever the circumstance whether it’s made by our own faults or brought on by other ways. The thing is not to dismiss them like a piece of paper we crumble up and throw away. But to allow God to work through them, let them be born and live life as He has created them to live. God has a plan that will work through our mistakes, our imperfections that will not only make a difference in our own lives, in their lives, but in all who will see their smiles in times when life should get them down. They have taken the curve and hit it for a home run because they were given the chance to live. This book I am dedicating to those living with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Autism and any other circumstance that is trying to get in their way.

      For Sara

      Psalm 139:16

      Your eyes saw my unformed body;

      all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

      Matthew 5 Jesus said "Blessed are the poor in spirit for Theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those that thirst and hunger for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful. Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

      Acts 13:22

      After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’

      1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: Faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

      MERCY & FORGIVENESS

      THE SCARY STORY OF MY RIDICULOUS LIFE

      By Pam Doughty

      Dear Friend,

      I was asked to write a story about my life to include in a book. I hesitate to say too much, because your opinion means a lot to me. But your peace of mind is much more important than whether or not you think I’m some crazy girl. Do you think that? Never mind. It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

      If you have known me all my life, you would know that I am basically a nice, happy person. I am generous, caring, and trusting. I give people the benefit of the doubt. It is a miracle that I maintain these character traits.

      I’ve come to realize that I might as well laugh at myself, everyone else does. Some people don’t know what to think when I joke about my life, but it may as well be a stand-up comedy routine. I’ve been married three times. Correction, I’ve been divorced three times. The first time was in 1982. The first husband cheated on me a week before the wedding. I may never have found out about this, but he brought a little gift that required that we both take penicillin, so he had to tell me. He tried to tell me he got it from a hot tub. Well, if I was the girl, I would have been offended if someone called me a hot tub. I was young, but not dumb. I can’t say if I would have been able to forgive him if he had admitted what he had done. The lying I definitely did not forgive.

      The second wedding was in 1992. This husband was a drunk. However, he claimed he had quit drinking. Next thing I know, he is going to drink on special occasions. Like the saying goes, I only drink when I’m alone or with somebody. He would get off work at 3:00 pm, go to the bar, drink as much as he could as fast as he could, and get home before I got off work at 6:00 pm. He still claimed he wasn’t drinking, and in order to hide it from me, he simply didn’t talk to me or relate to me in any way. Eventually I asked why he didn’t talk to me anymore. The truth came out. Then he tried to convince me that I could come to the bar when I got off work and catch up with him. First of all, it wouldn’t be possible to catch up with him. He could get pretty drunk in three hours. Secondly, I had no desire to go to the bar with a bunch of drunken men. He began staying out till all hours of the night. One night I even locked him out. No jokes about this one, nothing funny about it. This was not what I signed up for, and what else would he be hiding from me? I didn’t wait to find out.

      I have to say, I would much rather be telling you pleasant stories about my dog. Oh well.

      I waited until 2008 to get married again. I met number three on the internet. It was not on a dating site, because I realize those sites are full of players. I wanted no part of that. I wasn’t actually looking for anyone. I was using a Bible study forum, and started talking to someone that said his daughter had cancer. We began emailing, and eventually met, and soon decided to get married. I lived in Nebraska, and he lived in North Carolina. It was decided that I should move to North Carolina. After a couple of years, his daughter committed suicide, which is a story for another time. A few months later, I discovered that he was stealing things from his work. I confronted him at least three times, and each time, he responded that they would never miss it. He would not change. I don’t know how long this had been going on, but it started even before we met. So once again, I was faced with someone that had lied to me. This time, it was even worse than before, because he was supposed to have been a Christian, but he had completely misrepresented himself from the beginning. It’s much easier to lie in an email than face to face.

      I am surprised I don’t have the attitude that all men are liars. But really it is only three that I know of.

      I once worried that maybe I had hurt people’s feelings. But now I don’t think so. Number three actually helped the movers load my stuff into the truck. Wow, maybe he was trying to get rid of me. This is just something that I had not thought of before. Anyway, I am home, where I belong. I had to live in Nebraska for a year to establish residency before I could file any papers, so what should have been done a year ago is just now being done. The third divorce is final. I didn’t even need to hire a lawyer this time since I have been through it so many times before.

      I swear, my people don’t know what to think of my comments. I was at a wedding shower this summer, and each guest was supposed to write some words of advice for the couple on a paper leaf and hang it on this little tree that the bride had made. I said to one of my nieces, I don’t think they want my advice. We laughed. She gets it. She told me a few weeks ago that I should marry a doctor next. I laughed. My sister just gave me a funny look. Oh well.

      I suppose I need to figure out what I have been doing wrong. Was there something that I should have done differently? Yes, pick a different man. Seriously, I don’t want to stop trusting people. I give people the benefit of the doubt. I believe what people tell me. I am generous and caring and trusting. I don’t want to change. I like those qualities about myself. I don’t want to make someone prove they can be trusted. If I go into a relationship not trusting someone, that won’t work. No, I don’t want to
