I Talked With Him This Morning is a collection of poems that have arisen out of my morning meditation over the past three and a half years since retiring. The collection began as a continuation of my custom of writing a poem each week that would capture the main point of the sermon I was preaching the upcoming Sunday. It was my intention that by capturing the main point of the sermon in a brief poem and having that printed on the bulletin each week, members of the congregation could take it home and think about it during the week. Having it in something of rhyming verse made it easier to remember and chew on.
