I am as overwhelmed by your story, Phoebe, as I am by the kindness of your aunt and the old man so long ago. Wish I had words!
Love,

Thanks, days of future passed, for sharing that. She believed in you.
I learned oil painting in fifth grade and still have a landscape I painted then -- 59 years ago!
Do you still paint?

Speculative thoughts on Matthew 23 to 25
by Doug Mason inthe speculation i am about to propose over the fifth discourse of the gospel according to matthew, which includes chapters 23 to 25, is based on the following:.
1. up to the time that babylon destroyed the temple in jerusalem in the 6th century bce, the nation was dominantly polytheist.
leading up to that period, the tiny monotheist “yahweh-alone” gradually exerted increasing influence.

I'm not happy without you.
Yes, you are. You make beautiful
poetry out of your unhappiness and
you like that.
Poets should never marry.
The world should thank me for
not marrying you.
-- William Butler Yeats and Maud Gonne

Why I get out of bed every morning.
by compound complex inbecause someone needs my help.. as a jw -- you can relate -- i truly believed that what everyone really needed was the kingdom hope and its eventual reality.
you know, the hope that does not lead to disappointment.
of course, if anyone needed practical help with a task or getting through some difficulty, most of us realized that was part of being a helpful and caring friend (or family member).. at nearly seventy years of age -- no, i didn't enter the promised kingdom in my healthful and vibrant youth -- my getting out of bed isn't so bad.

Last week I went to a job, such as I do every morning.
There was no heat in the building. Somehow, the "keep full" arrangement with the propane company had been overlooked. By the end of the day, the tank was filled and the heat back on.
A little thing, but the owners were pleased I got up that morning!

Thank you, Amelia Ashton, for sharing your thoughts and a photo of that precious little girl. Sorry it took so long to reply. Have I not gotten out of bed since you posted one month ago?!?!?!?
I understand about being a loner, or just being alone. Earlier today, as I was contemplating how I never see my family though close by, I figured I simply must accept what is. Some acquaintances are surrounded by family and are miserable. I have made new family and am doing all right.
Best Wishes.
