Cassandra Gilbert   

              “Cassie”

I know a young Ladie named Cassie.
She is a real Blessing for all to see.

She Loves Gymnastics and performs very well.
Her meets are almost perfect. I do tell.

Her persistence in practice shows in the light
astounding the judges with all of her might.

The calmness and poise she possesses
comes from the inner strength that she caresses.

What lies ahead, we are not to know.
The Olympic Team may be in the show.

Berkeley Ford

My visit to Berkeley Ford was a most pleasant experience
Everyone I met had great confidence 

From sales to service
No one there made me nervous

The greeting on the phone was most unexpected. 
A greeting with It's a Wonderful Day is rarely detected 

I would recommend anyone looking for a Ford Dealership 
 You only need to make one trip

Upon leaving the dealership today
Cassidy, Kerrie, and Darcy were helpful in every way

Boeing’s  Code Cat

                  Boeing's  Code Cat

Boeing employs my Dad. I help him out now and then.  
When a coder has a problem, I'm proud to be their friend

I listened to much data from many of Daddy's friends. 
Hours of Spilling their guts to me helps them to no end. 

Sounds Silly, I know. If it were not for me, Many questions would go unanswered.  
After much talking, they seem to find the elusive answer. 

I'm proud to say I help to keep Boeing's Planes in the air.
It's a Great Big Honor and a delightful burden to bear.

Jesus Whispers Peace

When I'm distraught and have no place to turn, 
Jesus Whispers Peace

When I'm homesick and want to return,  
Jesus Whispers Peace

When I grieve and cry uncontrollably, 
Jesus Whispers Peace

When my time comes, I will not be alone; 
Jesus will Whispers Peace

Oh, the peace that he gives, I can not understand
The peace He gives will lead me into the promised land

1Ki 19:12  After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper

Promises

We've all made promises, some good some bad
A few made you mad, a few made you glad

Keeping those promises is what counts
The real truth in you will surely be announced 

God's promises are forever true 
Thousands are there waiting for you

Reading His Word will surely reveal them at the right time 
As you approach The Throne of Grace, in your long difficult climb
