ENUMCLAW, Wash., Aug. 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Small actions that help others have a large impact in the lives we touch. Author Michelle K. Scorziello is convinced of this. "I firmly believe that God created us to be a people of great moral conscience," she says. "We're supposed to look out for our brothers and care for those who are less fortunate." To share her philosophy, Scorziello has written "The Spirit Moved Me, So I Wrote," a compilation of her thoughts in prose, poetry and song lyrics. Woven in are reflections on current issues that she feels have contributed to moral decay in our society.
Ordinary lives have transcendent moments. After meeting a homeless man on the side of the road, Scorziello offered him some money. He refused her gift, as he wanted to work for his money. She realized that while she didn’t have work for him, she could pray daily that he would find work, and thereby maintain his dignity.
A lifelong Catholic, Scorziello sees life through the grid of her faith in God. It is this faith that shines through her poems about forgiving her father who had divorced her mother, about finding peace in bereavement, about seeing God in others. She explores her feelings on the major things that have touched her family's life--major illness, divorce and death, as well as everyday occurrences through that grid of faith in God. Sensing the presence of God, giving her children the gift of a heritage of faith and values and "trying her hand at prayer," are themes through which she examines faith responses.
Lives she has touched, and those whose lives have greatly influenced her, issues in society that trouble her, as well as light-hearted treatments of love and a just-for-fun rhyming western poem round out this exploration of a woman's heart.
A resident of Delaware, Michelle Scorziello is the mother of three children and works as a settlement coordinator.
