HisPowr4U: Of contributions and poems.
August 21st, 2009 by Matthew
So what does a six-time WAmmy award winning Supervisor with over one million contributions under her belt do for an encore?
In the case of HisPowr4U, write some great poetry!
B.J. - as she is also known - has actually been writing religious poems for decades, including the one highlighted below which was penned almost exactly 16 years ago (August 25, 1993).
On WikiAnswers, B.J. supervises the Rhyming Words category, among several others, to keep her literary skills sharp!
Untitled, by B.J. Sullivan
God uses many means,
To bring His children home;
A taste of His sweet presence,
A song, a book, a poem.
Like little Gospel windows,
To show the way that’s right,
And if we look more closely,
We’ll see God’s holy light;
Shining through to tell us,
His way is up above,
Not the way of hatred,
But the way of love.
He sheds His love upon us,
To draw us to His throne,
That He might be our Father,
And claim us for His own.
He also uses pain sometimes,
For when we are in need,
We are more apt to listen,
His Holy Word to heed.
He uses joy and pleasure,
Because He is their source,
And when we know He cares for us,
It brings us back on course.
I’ve never seen His face,
But this mystery I ponder;
A glimpse of His sweet grace,
A look at Heaven’s wonder;
Every single day,
His grace on me is poured,
Little Gospel windows,
To draw me to the Lord.
I’ll recount her varied accomplishments here for those who are not yet familiar. She stormed onto the WikiAnswers scene in late 2007 and still garnered two WAmmy awards (Honorable Mentions for “Best Contributions by a New Supervisor” and “Most Active New Supervisor”) for her earnest contributing those last few months. From there her passion for organization enabled her to nab 3rd place in the Mission: Recategorization competition in mid-2008. Her Spanish translation acumen paid dividends later in the year when she earned top honors in the How-To AnswerThon. Last, but not least, that year she took home four 2008 WAmmy awards including “The Good Samaritan Award” for most contributions during the year! She also threw in a 3rd place finish in this year’s AnswerThon for good measure.
