Sharing Monologues at the Paul D. Camp Community College Literary Festival

I had the pleasure this year of being a panelist

at the fifth annual Paul D. Camp Community College Literary Festival.  Joined here by Professor Ronette Jacobs (author of Heartbeats, a Journey through the Soul), author and artist Timothy Giles,  author and speaker Angela Corprew-Boyd, Dr. Harriette Arrington,Dr. Atkins-Brady, founder of Spiritual Concepts Publishing- Nathan Richardson, author Tony Ruggerio and PDCCC President Dr. Paul Conco.  It's always fun being part of this festival where authors share their work, poets compete for awards, raffle gifts are won and there's storytelling for the little ones. What a great night!

The Last Supper

The twelve disciples and Jesus

all were gathered around the table,

breaking bread,

drinking wine,

enjoying each other's company.

Jesus knew in His heart

that something heavy was about to start.

He turns to Judas-

knowing full well what he was about.

Now Jesus, He kept His cool,

He didn't scream or shout,

only said something to

the one who'd do the deed,

something of a bad seed,

and yet, it was all to happen.

Predicted so many years ahead,

the sacrificial lamb,

the one who would bleed instead.

Now, to this day,

we take in hand,

the cup and bread,

remembering with words that are said,

the Son of the Great I Am.
