“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Toni Nelson "Dear goodreads,
I am not the author of this book. Please remove from my page. I am the author of one published work, A Beggars Purse.
Thank you.

Toni Nelson I'm living my life like it's on borrowed time...


message 22: by Jesse

Jesse Hanson Thanks for adding me to your goodreads friends, Toni. A Beggars Purse looks really interesting, inspired by your life. I may not get to it for quite some time, but I do I want to read it at some point. I wish you the very best in all and I hope you won't mind my asking you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man. It's fiction but was inspired by events from my own life.
Namaste, jesse


Gwendolyn Gage Hi Toni! Thanks for your friend request, and thanks for following my blogs! I will certainly check out your books! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Toni Nelson I am currently reading, The Brotherhood by author Jerry B. Jenkins. I'm on page 225. I'm surprised as I couldn't find it listed on goodreads. It started out a little slow and then, bam! I'm loving it now!

Toni Nelson Congratulations go out to Ruben Saragosa! You are the winner of author Marja Meijer's book, Grace of Giving. Marja will be contacting you regarding shipping information. Stay tuned folks, we will have another giveaway for the month of August. Grace of Giving by Marja Meijers


Laurence Stoll Toni. Thank you for your interest in The Happy Accident. I'm flattered that you would consider it. People ask me if it is the story of my life. I say "No, but parts of my life are in the story"
I am just learning to use this medium, and it may take me a while to master it. In the meantime, please be patient. God Bless You and yours!

I always read a persons bio before connecting, Laurence. :)
My son is a touring musician and has seen the beauty of the Missouri Ozarks. I hope to visit your splendid state as well. I have added your book to my shelf and look forward to reading it.


Laurence Stoll Toni, let me tell you something about myself. I am retired, from at least seven different occupations.(Eight, by some accounts). I am married to my highschool sweetheart. (64 years). I am an author and a poet, a traveler and a seeker. My book is a Christian love story/ adventure titled "The Happy Accident". We live happily in the Missouri Ozarks.

Toni Nelson I just left the "I live for Jesus" group. The obscenities are not what I want to subject myself to... How sad that people don't know how to converse without cussing.
