On February 17, 1965, at Fort Hood, Texas, Claude and Glenda Carson became the proud parents of their third child. Raised in the small town of Killeen, I grew up probably like an average child would, nothing real spectacular, just a plain and simple Christian upbringing. And so, in January of 1985, as a plain and simple young man, I asked God to tell me His will for my life. I asked God to make sure he told me plain and simple to ensure there would be no misunderstanding. God led me to Jeremiah 1:4-10 and Acts 1:8. Now as I strive to live my life in accordance to God’s will, my way of life is still the same, plain and simple. I’m not a scholar with 6 or 7 degrees or a literary genius, but I use the wisdom and gifts God has given me along with some life experiences to spread God’s message the best way I know how, plain and simple. I pray these poems encourage and bless you in your life’s journey.
