I don't see how I found out about her death is of any importance but since you asked I will tell you. I dabble in family history and I was skimming through some back issues of the hometown newspaper and just by chance came across her obituary. I did not keep in contact with her family or any of...

**************************** If I did not see anything wrong with wanting to visit the grave of “an old flame“, then why would I object if my wife wanted to do the same thing? If I objected, isn't that called hypocrisy? I used the word "lovers" in the context of differentiating between...

The Stranger Beside You Jesus has walked alongside you for all of your life Calling your name softly in the day and the night He’s been by your side but a stranger indeed Waiting for you to hear, waiting for you to see And now He kneels before you, though He has made the worlds He beckons to...

You said:"Is it out of respect as you say or is it to reflect a love of the past lost." We were friends for a while and then we were lovers for a while. If I just wanted to reflect on a lost love, I would not have to go to the grave to do that. I could just close my...

Thank you for your reply. I fully understand my wife's feelings about this issue and there is no chance it will ever become a "deal breaker". I convinced her sometime ago that if we died in the next hour or if we lived to be 100 years old, we did not have enough time left on this earth to spend...

The Gathering Place They gathered there each year Under the ancient tree From places far and near Family and friends to see It was the Gathering Place Where they spoke of Him Sharing in His Grace And praising God in hymns Then as the years began to pass The Gathering Place was dying Until...

You said: At one time, I posted quite often in Christian forums and although I found many fine people who were truly interested in having an edifying discussion about things, I eventually came to realize there were far to many people whose only apparent purpose was to agitate and raise a...

Wow. You have made a lot of assumptions here. First, I am not remarried. I never have been. My wife and I have been married for 49 years and, God willing, we intend to see our 50th in the spring. I think that says enough about how much I love my wife. Oh, we have walked the rocky road a few...

Before I met my wife, I was in a 3 1/2 year relationship with a young woman I met when we were teenagers. We fell in love. I was in the military and even being apart for 15 months for Vietnam did not weaken our love. We made plans to marry when she finished college. Issues arose and we were...

The Passing A voice so softly whispered Come to me child, come Hearing but not wanting I sat on the edge of her bed Slowly her hand reached out Knowing no touch could be All my life her one wish was Only to touch my cheek Breathing deeply she softly sighed Her hand fell to the bed I moved...

Why Not Me ? Darkness gathered in the sky above Lightening struck and thunder roared Such as this had not been seen By me or anyone there before A storm came in upon the land With a wind of greatest power Then fire fell from the heavens Burning all before my eyes Many friends fell near me...

The Battlefield Was His The battlefield was his from the first to the last I fell again with each stone that was cast Gathering my strength I stood with the best But each time I stood, I fell with the rest He stood there in victory before it began The sword of deception tightly in hand...

Are These Thoughts Your Own ? When in hand you take the pen, Are these thoughts your own? Do they belong to you or Him, These poems of sin atoned? It was written in times long passed From the heart you'll speak, But are the thoughts from a heart of sin Or from one that's given to Him? If...

My Choice A spirit hovers around me Shining as brightly as the sun Worship me and you will see For you, I am the one Kneel today and serve me Raise not your hand with sword For all the world should see I am your god, your lord Hear my words and then obey...

Spiral Secrets are written on the wind Always present but out of grasp Shadows from eons of sin Whispers from a moment past Many turned away their eyes Those deeds done in the night No one heard the youthful cries None cared about their fright Now the aberrant stand in the day Boldly...

They Are Not Special These hands are not special They have no power to heal The strength they have is mine But at times they are used by God They perform my daily tasks For days and even weeks But when the time is right The Spirit begins to call And then the blind can see The lame can walk...

I have been posting here for almost two months and I just now got around to reading the rules. I found the following quote: "Any material posted that is not original to that post (copied from another web page or printed source) should have appropriate foot noting crediting the original source...

The Passing A voice so softly whispered Come to me child, come Hearing but not wanting I sat on the edge of her bed Slowly her hand reached out Knowing no touch could be All my life her one wish was Only to touch my cheek Breathing deeply she softly sighed Her hand fell to the bed I moved so...

In His Time His star shone bright for all to see The world in bonds He would set free In His time the Romans ruled A rod of iron and deeds so cruel From Eden’s tree the serpent came Tempting Him to call his name But He had come to see his end And from his fate to save all men His fame had...

Another Time Passing by an unknown sign In a machine from another time To the edge of a flaming lake Guarded by a phantom snake Challenged by this vile reptile I paused to watch it for a while But looking through the flames within I could see the shapes of men Even as my ship went higher...
