Season 3 Episode 8, Terri Hill Interview

28, 3-8 – SHOW NOTES & COPYRIGHTS, TERRI HILL INTERVIEWToday we are interviewing Terri Hill.  I met Terri at an event for Martha’s House this summer.  After asking Martha about an interview, something led me to ask Terri.  She is the founder of Executive Document Productions.  Her resume encompasses so much more than that as I found out talking with Terri at another Martha’s House event.  It’s amazing what you can find out over dinner.I did ask her if she would look through the three books and find three poems she liked so they could be read before and after the interview.  I’ll read 2 short ones now.  This one surprised me and yet it didn’t.  From God Still Rhymes (© 2018, by Tim Carter), pg. 25This one surprised me and yet it didn’t.  FIRST VALENTINE (written in 1973)love is a valentineand you are mineall of life startswhen you give your heartto shine as the sunon that special someoneand all that you areis what you sharebeing sure always to carefor the ev’ning starall your givingis what I am livingyou have given your giftgiving my spirits a liftgiving yourself to my keepingnot knowing the weepingof a broken valentinewe haven’t the timefor it is filled with happinesseverything from our togethernesslove is a valentineand you are mineFrom God Still Rhymes (© 2018, by Tim Carter), pg. 130WHO AM I?Jesus asked his disciples,“Who do you say I am”?Who did they think he was?And in times of doubt I ask myself,“Who do I think I am?”At these times in my lifeI know I must reply,I am reborn,I am saved,I am forgiven,I am redeemed,I am made holy in his sight,I am blessed,I am loved,I am a child of God!And there, without words, Is the rhyme of who I am,I am one with God!Forever in his sightI am now made right.Though I may stumble and fall,My name he will always call,Always and forever,He will leave me never.Yes, I am a child of God.That is who he says I am.INTERVIEWLet’s finish with her third choice. This is from Living In God’s Rhyme (© 2017, by Tim Carter), pg. 72And one we did last week.THE HEALING OF FORGIVENESS“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.  Be kind and compassionate to one another,forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”  Eph. 4:30,31What needs to be said about this verse?Though some words may sound terse,They are covered in the bloodJesus shed for those he loved.He has lovedAnd still does.Though we have sinnedHe has sent a mighty windTo lift his people upAs we drink from his cup.We are hurt in so many ways,Slander, malice, anger and rage.We are left alone, left defeated.That’s what we do to those God loves.Sometimes we are they, the other one,To whom the harm and hurt is done.We all keep a running total, we tally the sumOf each and every day they...
