Finding Your Gift From God.

Thomas Fortenberry has been given a gift of poetry.
It seems that he can make most words rhyme.
Not only that, as a retired Christian Minister,
Tom gives his gift of love to everyone to whom
he comes in contact.

Here are two of Tom's latest poems. Enjoy!


Alone With God

There’s a place to which I go
When I’m down and feeling low.
The location doesn’t really matter;
It’s the quiet there --- no noise or chatter.

Spending time alone with God ---
Oh! the joy as through life I trod!
I’m so glad He gave this thirst to me,
From which only He can set me free!

The need to be with Him there,
In sweet fellowship and private prayer,
Is truly a blessing from above ---
To be loved by Him and Him to love!

Earthly joys all seem to pale,
Compared to Him Who cannot fail.
Heaven here and now is this ---
A foretaste of eternal bliss!

The next poem came to Tom while he was asleep.


For Only You


Nothing on earth is more sublime,

Than to walk with God all the time!

He’s with us continually night and day

To guide us in all we think, do and say!



He knows all we’ve done and will in the future do.

He’s watching now as you read this poem too!

He’s focused on each of us 24/7,

As if there’s no other human on earth, in hell or heaven!



He knows all about us there is to know;

His infinite knowledge makes it so.

He loves to walk with us day after day;

He’s never bored as we sleep, work and play.



He loves us far more than our dearest love on earth.

That He died for us shows how much to Him we’re worth!

No one should ever feel insignificant or small

Knowing God’s love moved Him for us to give His all!



So know when on your knees at the end of the day,

You’re infinitely loved by the infinite God to Whom you pray!

Had you in all the Universe been the only one ---

For only you He still would have given His darling Son!

"The Shack" with Wm. PAUL Young Is Still Breaking Records. Get the Interview FR*EE!

Surprise! I have the interview with the author of The Shack.

The Shack" started out as a story that Willie told his 6 kid's. Now, it is a #1, NY times best seller and a movie is scheduled within a few years. Meet the author on "PowerTalk - AuthorsRadio and learn how "The Missy Project" is saving lives around the World.

Wm. PAUL Young reveals how he started the book and some insights about the "religion"
he is exploring. The Shack is considered controversial but Paul never meant it to be a Christian guide book. The SHACK book is a fiction book. Along the way, you may discover something about your own spirituality as a bonus.

Now, with over 6 million copies sold to date the movie deal is in the works. The SHACK is breaking records everyday. Not bad for a book that started as a gift for his children and printed at the local office store.

10 Spiritual Guidelines to Make Your Light Shine in 2009.

I have discovered some obvious facts through my own spiritual journey. One is you will be doing something each and everyday, why not make it a positive contribution to my Creator?
The day is going to go by anyway so why not find a goal and a plan to make that TIME work for you. 
I wanted to create a plan that would make "giving back" easy and effective means for anyone to use.
This Goal plan works every time and has proven outcomes.
10 Spiritual Steps To Daily Success
1- You were born for Greatness! GOD created you with that only intention. 
Every one of us is unique. Find it and excel.
2- God’s Universe will pay any price that you ask. Don’t price yourself low.
3- GOD gave you the Gift of a Dream and it was placed in your Heart. Honor God’s gift and acknowledge it everyday.
4- Have F.A.I.T.H. and believe in your Dream. Have Faith that it is possible. It’s possible to achieve the Dream. It’s possible.
5- Map out the Lord’s Dream with a plan of Daily Action. Goals are your Map of Action to achieve your Dreams. Use these SMART Goals everyday and write them down. Writing is the Action part of thinking.
6- Wake-up each day knowing that GOD gave you a way. Pray to find it and do it.
7- Go the extra Mile, never perform anything less than your best and do it with enthusiasm. The LORD is ENTHUSIASTIC about everything that you do for Him.
8- Say YES to God’s opportunity even if it is disguised as HARD work.
9- Pray that you will never go to bed the same way you woke up only better.
10- Never forge, the greatest power that GOD has given us is prayer. Maintain a link with your Creator through the Power of Prayer. Reflect, meditate, focus, re-evaluate, re-focus and offer your gift back as a Prayer throughout the day. This will work Miracles.
Just try these 10 steps everyday and see.

Are you feeling the message in your heart from the fast?

"Let Your Light Shine In 2009"

There is a pilot light in your Heart, a glow, a feeling and a passion that God put there before you were born.

When you find that flicker and add the kindling of love for Jesus and the people of this earth, you will experience an abundance never before achieved in your life.

This is what I mean when I say, "Let your light shine in 2009."

The Bible Funky Proverbs SmootheMixx

Hello friends, I have been advised of the 2008 International release of
The Funky Bible Proverbs SmootheMixx by Frank G (that's me)

This is a project that I put a Labor-of -LOVE into for a year in 2006.

I share the production rights with Roy Smoothe in the UK.

On Thursday September 11 at 10am ET I will host a
BlogTalkRadio show on how I created this body of work.

Go to www.Blogtalkradio.com/powertalk on the web or
call: 1-716-646-9940

I believe in giving back for all of my gifts.

I am giving 100% of my share of the profits to helping
people worldwide. Out of my 50% of the profits, all of it
goes to support Cancer, Heart disease, Brain-damage
research and Habitat for Humanity.

I ask that anything that you may do to assist me in my quest to help
people of the world will be appreciated.

At each of the websites listed, you may listen to samples of the Bible work that
God blessed Roy and I to create.

This may be a different way to listen to the Bible but
it is memorable especially to children, the youth and
people who have never heard Biblical teachings.

The must read of 2008: The Shack Book by William P. Young

I have finished the book titled, The Shack by William P. Young.

His story will change your life.

I stayed awake for many nights
pondering, thinking, contemplating and meditating on the many
messages that the brilliant, Mr. Young proposes.

It matters not what your religious or spiritual beliefs may be.
The Shack is written for every human being alive.

The story is compelling and has many twist and turns, especially
the ending. The writing is masterful and you will not be able to
put this book down. Sorry for the loss of sleep, my friends.

I just read that there is a movie in the works.

After reading 1000's of books on personal development, Bibles,
inspirational and motivational publications, this is a keeper.

I have emailed the author for an interview on "Powertalk" or
"TodaysGuest" Interview shows. Let's pray for this resource.

“Objects may be closer than they appear.”

Everywhere we look we get our clues to our future Goals Success.

I got one yesterday when I parked the car.

I was sitting in my car and I looked toward my right side rear-view mirror.

I noticed that it was OK to proceed and I parked the car.


WAIT! What does that say? Have you even noticed it?


CAUTION:

“Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear.”



Why this distortion of reality?

Why can’t we get the real image.

Maybe we are not ready for it. Maybe we need to have broader goggles on.


God has an image for you but are you ready for what God has in His mind?

Is your image closer than it appears in your mind?

Yes, you have your Dreams Goals and talents ready for the future but
What if the future is getting closer than you think?

Your God given talent, Dream or Goal is actually appearing NOW!

Are you ready or will you make another excuse, decision
or completely chase it away?

“Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear.”

You have found the answers in your Heart that God has put there for you.

Are you ready for the Time that they are to become reality?

You have FAITH. You have found your answers in your heart.

You have a plan of direction, now you need to SOB.

Use the S. O. B. method.

S = Schedule it
O = Organize it
B = Budget it


Scheduling is the hardest part since there are so many unknowns.

Remember, “you don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going,”
As Mike Litman says.

Schedule your plan anyway.

Do It Now!

Now organize your plan by putting time-frame’s on it
and the all the steps you need along the path.

You must put a budget on it both monetarily
and time-wise. Remember what they say, “Time is money.”

It’s OK to S.O.B.

Sobbing will keep you in-line for what is to come.

Whether it is closer than it appears or not.

You will be ready!

I guarantee it.
