Meet Joyce Rogers
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my little corner on the net.
When I was just a little girl, my mother would read her poetry to
me. Even though she had her bouts with things she had to deal
with in life, she still managed to write poetry through it all.
This is something I will always be thankful to her for. Daddy
read love stories but not poetry. To me, it seemed the two should
go together. Out of all the children, I am the only one who
writes poetry or enjoy it much for that matter...hmmm.
When I was in the sixth grade, my english teacher asked the class
to write a poem. The following day, we turned our poems in. She
stood to read some of the poems. When she came to my poem, she
begin to cry. Being only 12 years old, I was baffled. I knew I
couldn't write as well as my moma, but I had no idea it was that
bad. She wiped her tears away and said, "Joyce, this is
beautiful." From that time on I was inspired to write more
poems. I was not consistent however. A life away from God
literally put my writing on hold. Now that I look back, I am glad
that I lost all desire and ability to write. Had I continued to
write poetry, it would have been full of anger, perversion and
God knows what else. Poetry has such an impacting effect on the
mind and soul. There's no telling how many souls I would have
poision with my ideas and philosophies on moral issues.
This gift was not released back to me until God knew I could be
trusted with it...again. I write on issues pertaining to life
here on earth and the life here after. For example:
Abuse
Male/female relationships
The beauty of sexual intimacy within marriage
Black experiences in America
The beauty and essence of life in Christ
Issues concerning life...period
The entire purpose of my gift is to provide insight on issues
concerning all people of all races...from all walks of life. It
is my responsibility to constantly examine my heart and make sure
this insight is coming from God. After all, my talent is a gift
from God. What I do with my talent is my gift back to God.
Therefore, I watch over it to make sure that it never becomes
perverted in any way or manner. Thus, thousands have been touched.
That's because it is not my ink...but God's ink has flowed into
their souls. In order for this to happen, Joyce Rogers has to
write from a pure heart, a pure spirit. I can't afford to write
from anger, hurt or resentment or it will be passed on as poison
to you. That is NOT my purpose.
Questions Asked Of Me:
Are You Married?
I am married with three children. Been married over 22 years to a
good man...I am blessed. Though we've had our ups and downs he
knows that there is no better woman for him and I know there is
certainly no better man for me. Our children are ages 19 (Isaac)...16
(David)...14 (Charity).

discretion means.
