Distressed?
Oppressed?
Obsessed?
Depressed?
Repressed?
Suppressed?
Get rid of all those stresses
Banish all those presses
Remove all those sesses
Get rid of all those stresses
Add some blesses, progresses,
Impresses, and successes
Get rid of all those stresses
Banish all those presses

We went
We lost our lives
We won freedom for you
We ask only that you not forget
Our deeds
Cinquain
Our local Christian church school that has a big grassy area next to their building implemented the idea of having their school children put up 6000 little flags to honor and pay tribute to the 6000 Oregon soldiers who lost their lives in all the wars.
I visited the display today and was deeply touched by how beautiful it was. Seeing all those little flags blowing in the soft breeze made me so thankful for the freedom we enjoy in our country and for those who paid the price to achieve it.
One after one
He listed my failures
Accusing
Fault finding
Until my Advocate’s blood
Washed him away

In Him [Jesus Christ]we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7
In the sun and rain
Just you and me my friend
Together we stand

“A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.” —Douglas Pagels
How many roads have you trod
In those earthly shoes?
Though worn and weary yet you’d plod,
How many roads have you trod?
Through city streets or soggy sod,
Doin your best, payin your dues,
How many roads have you trod,
In those earthly shoes?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Happy 78th Birthday today to Bob Dylan!
Wonder not,
Nor worry today,
Nor even
Tomorrow.
If Overmorrow arrives,
Give thanks to God
Shadorma
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Matthew 6:34
(Inspired by “The Word of the Day” on Dictionary.com which is “Overmorrow”)
Breathe deep and dream!
Breathe deep, and face that fear!
Things aren’t futile as they seem,
Breathe deep and dream!
Life is just a balance beam,
Forward steps bring victory near,
Breathe deep and dream!
Breathe deep, and face that fear!

High upon a rock
Above the craggy shore
Shined a beacon
A guiding light in the night
Kept lit by the hand
Of a watchman of the sea
With tides of time
Waves of change came, yet
Lonely lighthouse stands
Choka
