Observe cacti in the desert
In ardent radiant bloom
Though in the midst of arid heat
They depict no sign of gloom.
For the cactus shouts its praises
Through its gift of blossom rare
Reminding us in heated trial
That God’s presence remains there.
Divine blossom of the cactus
Testifies of wondrous grace
God measures in abundance
When desert trials we face.
Like cacti we must ever bloom
Give our praise to God and bless;
For He'll plant a fragrant garden
In our arid wilderness.

With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
