I've added a new entry to my book, "These Are My JOTtings, Part #2"  : "English Sonnet: "Dog Days Come"" The Dog Days of Summer will have us, especially in The South of the U.S., remembering the chilly wonderfulness of Christmas, but when the chilly days of winter arrive, we'll be thinking how wonderful the Dog Days of Summer were. Such fickle folk are we. Blessings, All!     |
| I've added a new entry to my book, "These Are My JOTtings, Part #2" : "Lai: "Alone"" This is my first attempt at writing a lai (pronounced "lay" as I understand.) It's amazing how large a family home can seem when the other two members of the family are taking care of responsibilities in two completely different states from me.

| I've added a new entry to my book, "These Are My JOTtings, Part #2" : ""Mama is Gone."" My mother-in-law is now with Jesus, and these words were the text that told me so. This is news my wife and I have been expecting because she told her mom many important things on the phone this weekend, since she wasn't able to make the trip to her side. “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” (I Thessalonians 4:13, KJV) The Lady in my life has responded to the question, "Are you okay?" with "Yes. Love you." Even though we live in the Blessed Hope of everlasting life because of the Merits of Jesus Christ with the anticipation to see our loved ones again, for now, there is grief. I will be tender with her, giving her time to heal. Speaking little, loving much, that is my near task. Thank you to anyone who prays for us through these days. Blessings, All! |

ReplyI've added a new entry to my book, "These Are My JOTtings, Part #2" : "Days of Joyful Cheer" I'm not sure, if I'm getting the quote quite right, but somewhere I read, "Friendship is such a gift. It divides sadnesses and multiples JOY!" Thank you, All, for the amazing anniversary wishes and reviews. Here is a poem, written for each one of you. Blessings, All! |
