 Help me be ... more like You"Grant that I may have Love, Compassion, and Mercy for every Soul without exception"St. Faustina's Diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul 

While in my mid 50's I felt a need to ask God for more Faith ... mine seemed to level out & I believed there was much more Jesus had in mind for me and each of us.  Early in 2021 a compulsion to share these many inspirations helped me to start putting them out there for others who relate or pray for Our Lord to draw them closer ... and closer.  My prayer continues to be answered and I pray the same for each and everyone who may not know the results but is willing to hand it over to our best friend and Savior.

Benjamin is my Baptismal name. It's my blessing to prayerfully receive these Captured Moments which come and go so fast... Over years of experiencing and wondering about their authenticity, their source has helped me be drawn closer in my relationship with Jesus. Each 'Moment' is filed by the date they were written ... ie; Feb. 26, 2017 > 170226 (yr/mo/day) These posts started at Sunrise on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021 via email ... two additional poems have been emailed at 6:00 AM every Wednesday since. Share Love, Foster Hope, Trust in Jesus' Divine Mercy ... all God's blessings 

Note: 230124 Feast day of St. Francis de Sales, Patron saint of writers: Every moment comes to us pregnant with a command from God, only to pass on and plunge into eternity, there to remain forever what we have made it.

I've had periods when I felt lost and uncertain ... As I go thru my past writings I will be sorting those times into Stepping Through The Mind Field.  If there is interest in those thoughts and have sufficient financing or publisher I hope to share these as a primer going forward to Benjamin's Captured Moments

This collection of writing is somewhat a timeline of my development thru 1970 - 1980 with some 1990s toward the end.  The first publication occurred when these thoughts and perceptions were assembled as a handwritten book, which I gave my parents, Bruce & Virginia Cloud.  The inside cover read:  Mom and Dad with all my love, Christmas '91 

Someday I wish to publish these earlier developmental thoughts.

Articles Written to the Employees of the Company,  My Father wrote many messages to the men & women who he worked with ... Before he passed away he asked me to collect the printings and possibly publish as a primer for the next generation of of owners and managers.  The 1st edition (AuthorHouse 12/4/2009 ... ISBN 978-1-4389-4108-0 Soft Cover, ISBN 978-1-4389-4109-7 Hard Cover ) if formatted in the same style as originally printed in the company's Safety and Newsletter.  However, Dad never saw the finished product for he passed March 12, 2007. I understand the 1st edition needs additional editing; but, nervertheless it is a good read and we thank you for your interest.

Comment:  Keith Q, - I knew after I read the first few pieces that your Dad had the ability to write motivating and clear messages.  An unusual ability and one not expected of engineers in any profession. I have only read a few.  There is clearly a theme which should be good for any company manager to share with his employees.  I would encourage you to open it up to others.
