The Players

As promised I am posting the new poem. I hope you enjoy it.


The Players

Who are the players
of the lives I planned to live?
The missionary that went to Africa
to teach the Good News, cured
the diseases of the world,
fought the battles of the weak?
I know You assigned those rolls
to other able bodies.
You gave me the life
I was intended to give
by Your perfect design.
I’ve been told
I have a mission here
to nurse the community.
and battle for the weak
by becoming weak
to gain understanding,


I am the player
of the life I hoped to live.
You, my precious Lord,
are the author of my life.

Goal Met

As promised I did spend time on all three projects noted the below. I have still got some editing and refining to do of course. I would not want to post a poem that is sloppy, so I will get that up at a later date. Today my husband and I went fishing off a bridge on a farm access road. I got the catch of the day. I landed two huge ---- minnows. They were very young and small cat fish. We threw them back on the other side so I wouldn't catch them again, but something kept steeling my worm. I asked my husband if he thought they might be swimming back over to steel my worms. He said, "Maybe". Of course they weren't but, some do learn how to take that bait right off the hook. I had loads of fun, and it was great recreation. Which means to re-create. So I'm now newly recreated because of two itsy bitsy fishies. I love the country.

For all out there in cyber wonderland

Hello to everyone out there in this cyber wonderland. I decided today to update you on what's going on at my house. Not a lot as far as the house is concerned. It's still very old, and still needs a lot of work. However, I am learning more and more about the history of the house and the family who lived here back in the twenties. I am trying to put together a book based on their lives but it is somewhat slow going. Mainly because I keep stopping to do more research. I've been researching this since prior to the millenium. Ok, so I'm slow. I still write poetry and short stories and hope to show up in print or on some more e-zines.

So, for today, I plan to write some on the book, some on a short story I'm putting together. It's a thriller! I also hope to compose some new poetry for you. This is now the 18th day of May of the year 2007. I wish you all a good day, and God Bless.

Bugging

Haven't bugged this sight for a while. So I thought I'd better show up.
