A Book..

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

It was a softcover book with a picture of Jesus kneeling in prayer. As a child, I never saw color or how anyone will know in this century what he liked, but I believed it was Jesus, and I held it tight in my hands at night.

It became my safety shield at night when I couldn’t sleep or had bad dreams. I would keep it by my pillow and pray for a good night’s sleep, then close my eyes.

Several years later, I found it and smiled in remembrance of its significance in my childhood. I don’t use it any longer. Understanding I only need to call on the Lord anytime, anywhere without the use of props to make me feel safe.

I have him with me always.

Under the name Francis Lee, I write interracial Christian romantic suspense. My stories are about finding enduring love when hope and redemption seem unattainable as danger lurks around every corner. My characters learn that where there is darkness, "joy will always come in the morning".

  1. Hi,
    This is an informative post. Let me see if I have the key points of your post.
    The person describes a softcover book with a picture of Jesus that they were attached to as a child. They used it as a safety shield at night and prayed for a good night’s sleep while holding it. However, as they grew older, they realized that they didn’t need the book to feel safe and that they can call on the Lord anytime, anywhere. They no longer use the book but feel that they have the presence of Jesus with them always.

    Thank you
