Patrick Rigg

I have a friend, Patrick Rigg, who I meet regularly on the Soup Run. Recently Patrick has started to share some of his poetry with me, and with his permission I am going to post some of it hear. Patrick lives and works on the streets and in the shelters in Bristol, as a is a Poet and a Christian. Patrick has been our guest at St. Augustine's before and has spoken to us at the Soup Run general meetings about his life and the good the the soup run does. 

In his own words, Patrick is....
A sinner saved by grace. I have known; experienced God’s love for nearly 50-years. And ... it only gets better: “Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.” God inspires and I write; share what He has given me. May these words always be His words; nothing of self. May they inspire, bless and encourage all who hear them.
Patrick. BRISTOL, May 2012.
