    Maxine Lantz

    This book deals with the impact that accepting Jesus Christ can have in a life. A new cleansed heart and soul combined with the peace, joy, love, mercy and grace of Jesus Christ is the reward for surrendering one's life to Christ. The author has experienced that life-changing transformation in her life and wants others to know that same transformation is available to them.   She believes that God has given her the words in this book. She calls herself God's typist, for that is all that she has to do once God has given her the words.   She lives in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Jim. When they married in 2003, they blended families of three boys (hers) and four girls (his). Now they are all theirs. They presently have three grandsons and four granddaughters. They enjoy serving in their local church and have been extremely blessed with people who love them.

      AUTHOR’S FOREWORD

      I have called this booklet of poetry Flights of Fancy because I think that the change Christ made in my life is symbolized by the butterfly that changes from a chrysalis to a thing of great beauty.

      I hope that these poems will give you some insight into what I believe is the true character of God and his son, Jesus Christ. I thank God for saving me, and I look forward to spending eternity with God and Jesus Christ.

      I pray that these poems will edify the reader, and that those who know Christ as Saviour will be encouraged to continue their walk with him. For the reader that does not yet know Christ in this personal way, I pray that these words will lead you to the point in your life where you will accept Christ as your personal Saviour.

      I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the keepers of my words. Each poem I write gets sent to my sister (Lynda Taylor), my husband Jim, my pastor and his wife (John & Cheryl Scorgie, who are also dear friends), and to another two friends (Carrol Ross and Joyce Lindsay). They are my biggest supporters, and I thank them for their love, loyalty and faithfulness.

      Thank-you,

      Maxine Lantz

      A NEW ROAD

      A new road lies before me;

      Its end I cannot view.

      Will it be full of twists and turns?

      I do not have a clue.

      No footprints mar its surface;

      The top is smooth as glass.

      How will it change when I move on

      And time has flown and passed?

      How many people will I meet

      Along this new road’s way?

      Will they walk on renewed in heart

      For words I had to say?
