About this ebook
“Whatever may befall me, I know Jesus is my friend,
And He will always hold me close, will love me without end.
A friend that one can count on is a blessing unsurpassed;
Whenever doubt assails me, His love will hold me fast.”
Doug Lusk
Doug Lusk, the author of this book, was raised in a small town in Kansas, went to the school there and attended the local Methodist Church. After college he spent a long career in the oil industry. He wrote a few poems when he was young but only one was preserved; a school project for Mother’s Day when he was ten. Made into a booklet, it told of the strength of friendship for his mom, “As high as any mountain, as deep as seas of blue.” It was found among her keepsakes. Then, happily married with two kids and “busy enjoying life,” poetry was essentially non-existent for years. It was unexpectedly resumed shortly after retirement when one of his brothers became very ill and a spiritual poem “out of nowhere,” helped Doug provide encouragement. Since then, with his new-found voice, he has continued to write these “expressions of faith,” giving thanks and praise for the encouragement and blessings he has received. His hope is that others might find a bit of encouragement in these words.
