I write poems and lyrics to songs and recitations. I wrote the lyrics to a song entitled, "The Death of Elvis Presley", in 1977. Jim Ward of Nashville, TN did the musical setting, and this song was selected for inclusion in a Tribute to Elvis album ,which was produced and released by Royal Master Recording Company of Nashville, TN in 1978.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I was born in Maxville, FL. Maxville is a small rural community about 25 miles from Jacksonville, FL. I attended Maxville Elementary School and transferred to Baldwin,FL, where I finished high school and graduated from Baldwin Senior High School #38.
I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior when I was 17 years of age and soon felt His anointing upon my life to minister, and I began doing evangelistic work while I was still in high school. I conducted my first revival under a tent in Jacksonville, FL. Some of my classmates were glad that I was doing the Lord's work, but I was also confronted by the ones who liked to make fun and rebuke me, but I just asked Jesus to bless them and continued doing what God had called me to do. Over the years I slacked up on going forward with the ministry as much as I should have, But I still feel this anointing and I have recently re-dedicated my life to ministering for Jesus. In case you're wondering what I believe in, I will do my best to explain. I believe that Jesus was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary. He was God manifested in the flesh. I believe that He died on cruel Calvary for the redemption of our sins and arose from the dead on the third day victorious over death, hell, and the grave, and because of this we can receive the gift of Salvation if we repent of our sins and accept Jesus as our personal Savior and we also have the assurance of eternal life. I believe that Jesus ascended back unto the Father and makes intercession for our prayers. I believe that the Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost, and if we are filled with the Holy Ghost that we are endued with power from Heaven to defeat Satan. I am also filled with the Holy Ghost. I believe that He is our Comforter, our Guide, and our Orator when we need the words to confront Satan and his demons.I live with the blessed assurance and expectation that Jesus will be returning very soon for his saints and then we'll never experience any more parting, heartaches, physical pain, and He will wipe away all tears from our eyes. According to the end-time signs, Praise God, we won't have much longer to wait.

I lost my wife in December 2007. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in September 2007, and it was determined that the cancer had spread throughout her body. It was devastating, and I'm still finding it very difficult to comprehend the magnitude of her loss. So, my advice is to embrace your loved ones and tell them that you love them very often, because you miss this terribly after they're gone.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME that Jesus and his angels will guide my pathway and give me the comfort that I need to go on with my life. The following is a recitation that God gave me the inspiration to compose in memory of my wife, Betty Harris.

YELLOW ROSES FOR YOU BETTY
By: Ray Harris
I have Yellow Roses For You Betty
Kissed by the morning dew.
I have Yellow Roses For You Betty
Just to say, " I love you ".
(Recitation:)
Darling, I'm standing by your grave site,
But I know that you're not here.
You're rejoicing with angels and loved-ones
In God's city of beauties rare.
I will never, never, forget you, Betty
Our love will last through eternity.
That's why I have Yellow Roses For You Betty,
Because you still mean so much to me.
You know, the old home is so lonely
Since you are no longer there.
Often times I still look for you, Betty
To be sitting in your favorite chair.
Then I realize that I must go on alone,
Because you're at peace with God above.
That's why I have Yellow Roses For You Betty
As an expression of our eternal love.
I understand now why you loved yellow roses,
For they represent our love so pure and true.
Now as I gaze upon these beautiful petals,
It reminds me of happiness that I shared with you.
Betty, my life's journey will never be the same,
But, I'll ask God to guide my pathway.
And I'll bring Yellow Roses For You Betty
Until I meet you in Heaven some glad day.

Thanks so much Ray,
Trying to stop by once in a while, keep up with the new folks, balance three schedules. Attempting to get the making of the music cd lined up in the next bit of time, keep the family from feeling alienated and, and, and - lol! It is interesting! Thanks so much for your prayers.
Well almost all the white stuff melted outside today, I do like that! It's been a good weekend that is about to be disturbed by Monday steamrolling in, I guess we'll make room for smiles and praise the Lord's!
I hope the Lord has a wonderful week prepared for you, God bless and stay strong!
