“Death and life are in
The power of the tongue”
Consider this daily
Before you unlease words.
Of which do you choose to speak?
Tanka
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21

Fill horizon,
Painting the evening sky,

Today while I was out walking, I happened to notice some leaf imprints on a large area of the concrete sidewalk here where I live. I had never seen this before so of course I took a picture and then researched it online to see the cause. I found that when leaves fall onto concrete and lay there decaying they excrete a dye called tannin that stains the concrete and so leaves their image when they are removed. The dye stains can be removed by detergent and scrubbing. I found this to be quite interesting!

Peacefulness
The sun is smiling.
Calm, peacefulness, this day
Peace Rose blooms.

Hush over the land
Humanity and Nature
Seeming to be on hold
Flag hangs silently waiting
Who? Will our next leader be?
Tanka
I am feeling a heavy stillness in the air today. No wind at all. Our Flag hangs silently. It’s eerie. It’s almost like nature and mankind are holding their breath awaiting this Election Day outcome. I shall pray and trust in God for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

The Answer
God just doesn’t answer my prayer!
Is His answer “NO” ?
Could it be?

Q and A
Question:
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Some days are hard and others worse
I’m trying to live on nickels and dimes
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Good fortune falls and trouble climbs
Circumstances are so adverse
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Some days are hard and others worse
Answer:
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
Both are needed to help you grow
Remember this when days are filled with pain
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
It’s an important truth you need to know
Remember, for good, healthy, happy life to obtain
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
Both are needed to help you grow

God Speaks
The Autumn wind whispers
November trees bow their heads
Squirrel runs for shelter
Earth begins to quake and shake
Mankind is oblivious
Tanka
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Matthew 24:33
