Oh my! I’ve just been too busy to write: Facebook learning that my old classmate is about to go camping with the girls- yeah, I’m jealous; Finding out that my old neighbor is cooking yummy stuff tonight- (feeling guilty we’re having leftovers);Seeing if anyone else is artsy and likes the picture I put up; Also, must check facebook to […]
A Giving Love A true giving love Bleeding its’ life, drop by drop Will not soon die off Michele Marie
Humiliations… The chisel to stone Sculpter’s blow carves, molds, and lights Forms stones into hearts Some are well deserved Some are most beneficial Illumination Humiliations Tear a wound in tender hearts Beware, lest you kill… I don’t regret mine Reject Humiliations?

I’ve been to a couple of fairly ‘fancy’ wedding receptions at exclusive places that only well-to-do people frequent and can book weddings at. And they were wonderful! But mostly there were the others. One was the wedding of my brother and sister-in-law. After the wedding ceremony itself, everyone spilled into the church basement to a […]
The Gentle God The gentle God stands off in the distance Awaiting my arrival That thing the world calls death. He coaxes and cajoles, he calls and cares, For me to begin the great journey I make the call. I make the choice. My eternity will show If I’ve chosen a route of truth And […]
