"Ms. Green: My name is Billy Mims, and I'm a guitarist for a national act. I just wanted to reach out and thank you. I ran across a very inspiring poem of yours entitled, "An Instrument," and it really struck a deep nerve. I have battled most of my adult life with the "world" and surrendering my life to God. Your words made me reflect on the many blessings God has bestowed on me and how he has always been there for me, but I was just too caught up into me to realize that the gifts that he has given me were given for a reason.. They would become a powerful force if I were to allow myself to be used as a conduit to inspire others to praise his holy name and be saved from this daily dying world, then maybe in some small way my existence would have been justified on this earth. For these reasons, I thank you... for allowing God to speak through you and for being a beacon in a somewhat dark world. Bless you. Stay encouraged." -Billy Mims
