I lived on the northside of Chicago in Lathrop Community which was very diverse from 1954 to 1965. I was born to Nathis and Levi Bridges. I had two sisters now I have one and three brothers. My father brought a house on the westside of Chicago in 1965. I lived there until 1996. I married twice. I have three sons from the first marriage. I did not have any children in the second marriage. My second spouse passed away in 2017. I have 10 grandchildren and 6 great grands.
I completed High School and took some college courses in Early Childhood Education and English. I have always loved to write. I have been writing since high school. My high school English teacher had one of my writings published in a well-known magazine.
Cynthia Utley published some of my poems in a 12-page flyer for Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Decatur, IL every month. Last year, 2019 I submitted a poem, “The Prey” it was published by TMC, (The Moody Church), Artist Circle, in “Literary Journals”.
I’m a member of Moody Bible Church since 1996. I have assisted with the TMC children’s ministry for more then 5 years. I’m a teacher in the children’s ministry from ages 2 to 4 years old. I have also assisted the leaders with the children for VBS. I have assisted the teachers and taught the children in AWANA on Wednesday evenings. I also have help with teaching, and assisting teachers with the children from 6 months to 10 years old while their parents where in the marriage conferences that were out of town from Friday to Sunday. I love working with children and helping them to understand life and who God is.ver menos
