The Daisy follows soft the Sun—
And when his golden walk is done—
Sits shyly at his feet—
He—waking—finds the flower there—
Wherefore—Marauder—art thou here?
Because, Sir, love is sweet!

We are the Flower (christians)—Thou the Sun!(Jesus christ helps us grow through the holy spirit)
Forgive us, if as days decline—
We nearer steal to Thee! ( we grow so we become closer to Christ Jesus)
Enamored of the parting West—
The peace—the flight—the Amethyst—( this is about death and the final stone mentioned in Revelation 21:20

I just want to quickly clarify something. When I mentioned chuckling earlier, in no way was I laughing about the very real and damaging effects of bullying. I am aware that many people have gone so far as to take their own lives due to the negative effects of bullying, and that is no laughing matter. In my case, I was chuckling because, on my car ride to work yesterday, my mind was being flooded with memories of those who seemingly are somewhat afraid of me when there is nothing to be afraid of. Even that doesn't sound right. It is hard for me to properly express or articulate things at times, and that I why I normally just talk about God, and not about myself. I am sorry if I gave anybody the wrong impression with my comments from earlier today or if I possibly caused any unintended offense.

No worries at all, Keeping.

It's a joy to know that bullying has not really been a part of your life -- praise God!

But it's even more comforting to know that you have so much compassion on those who have gone through it.

We all go through challenges and your pains and burdens are no less than anyone else -- as fellow Christians, it's our honor to try to help carry them with you. :)

Speaking of my pains, this just happened a few minutes ago.

My co-worker and I needed a box that was up in the steel rafters. Rather than request forklift assistance, we went into full Spider-Man mode. He climbed up in the rafters (I wanted to, but he beat me to it), and I stood ready to catch him in case he fell. He was in a really awkward position when he grabbed a hold of the about 20 lbs box and pulled on it.

Have you ever seen a documentary on outer space where video clips of asteroids hurling through space are shown?

I ask because that is what it looked like when the box fell in a spinning motion from the rafters before making direct contact with my jaw.

Fortunately, I am okay, and my co-worker and I cannot stop laughing.

Yeah, that definitely falls under the category of "Do not try this at home."
