                    [116].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – HAVING A CHAT WITH GOD
There is nothing pretentious here.  It is a simple prayer mixed with thoughts of the Lord.  This poem is a meditation, one that I hope you can relate to in your life.
Some make prayer a sanctimonious affair and it is about as dead as a

                    [042]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – CHRIST IN ME AND I IN HIM
I meant this to be a personal, yet touching poem.  The title – Christ in me and I in Him” can be taken as a one-way dialogue between two people, the Lord and me.  I am sharing with my Saviour the thoughts in my mind.  (A personal chat).

This drops to 30 minutes a day in the second year and then only to 15 minutes a day in the 4th.  His research shows that by the eighth year,
