INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS

His wife is actually inspired him to start writing.  God inspires him what to write about through.  He does not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible.  He is just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures.  He says that there is a need for inspirational poetry for many. Many have told him how much uplifting his poetry is. This also includes pastors and military chaplains. The value of inspirational poetry is priceless to those who need inspiration. We should not forget the military either especially at overseas locations.  Our soldiers need as much motivation as possible.

Hope that his poetry inspires you as much as he was inspired to write it.  God has inspired him to write.  In fact, many verses started pooping into his head while he was driving.  It was almost as though God was telling Richard what to write about.  You'll notice several referenced to a Bible Scripture in the title.  The poem is based on that particular scripture. These poems are in no way intended to distort or destroy the original scripture.  It’s just a slight variation to enhance and bring out the poetic verse. The verses still hold the same meaning as it was written. Other poems listed are just some thoughts about life and how we're affected by it.   Sit back and enjoy Richard’s thoughts on life and spirituality.

Here are some comments from amateur poets who mentioned to Richard about his poetry:

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago.  He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973.  You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea.  I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet.  She convinced him to return to be with her.  So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000.  They were married July of 2001.  Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart.  His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry. 

Born in Easton, Pennsylvania his father, Newton farmed for the majority of his life.  It was his father that convinced him not to continue in the 300 year old family tradition as a farmer since the size of the farm was too small for to survive.  That was the main reason for joining the Air Force in 1969.  His Mother, Catherine was an inspiration spiritually as a church organist for over 35 years.
