What a fabulous idea, Debi. I loved the words in your poem, and enjoyed them so much. Then went to your author's notes and found it was quite easy to match them up. This would be a good game to play at Christmas. I loved it! Well done, my friend. Love you lots, sandra xxx

Comment from Sally Law
Debi dear, I love this poem! Beautifully written and illustrated in rhyming couplets. There's not a verse on here that doesn't hold personal meaning to me. I find comfort, peace, hope and strength in them continually. Thank you for sharing this, and beautifully so.
Sending you my best today as always and Love & Blessings in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dearest Sally, I thank your for your heartfelt review. It means the world to me and I can't thank you enough for the very lovely words for my scripture poem. This was very rewarding and I enjoyed doing it every minute. Although I knew most of the scriptures by heart that I had written in my authors notes, I still looked them up to make sure I didn't have a word wrong, and yes, I had them all perfect. So I truly appreciate your kindness. Thanks for all the six stars too.
I thank you again, my dear friend.
Love, Debi
Comment from Tim Margetts
What an uplifting poem, Debi, and such a statement of your faith, fully grounded in scripture, It almost reads as your own personal addendum to the book of proverbs.
Then accompanied by that beautiful song from Jesus Christ SuperStar.
Thank you for sharing.

Oh my dear sweet sister. How could you? My birthday is Saturday, 12/14 silly girl...
Big big smiles here. My birthday is Saturday not Sunday. I don't want celebrate one no less two.
All the girls at work are singing happy birthday to me already, a week in advance. And in Spanish (most are from Ecuador or Columbia...
They call me "el professor" because I teach them English. Most are around my kids ages and they give me a lot of respect.
Crap. Sorry for babbling away... my apologies.
Love ya.
-
Oooh, shoot, you are right. The only problem is it is not a good day for six stars and you are such a deserving guy!! Oh well, it will be great no matter what.
-
And I love your babbling. Please keep doing it. It is so refreshing and fun. And that is this week, right. Awe, I best get busy with yours and Sally's. But I will see you before then. I love that the girls are giving you lots of attention!!

Post it Sunday and we'll pretend my b'day is the 15th.
Our secret. I want you o get the 6's....

Oh no, I want this to be a fun one for you. I want you to send it to the kids and like I said to have a little fun with it. You never know, I might be a bit of a wise guy, especially throw in a couple football jabs. You like the Jets, right? No, John, this is your day to shine and we do it your way. Love ya tho. Bro!
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I actually flipped your directions, reading the Bible verse first, then your reaction/thoughts about how the Word translates to you.
#4 is the hardest to do - so many of us do worry about tomorrow and, in doing so, we lose today.
I enjoyed reading your translations, Debi. Reminded me of so much of Roy's poetry. Thank you for sharing this intimate side of you.
Be well, my friend.

Hey you, I love that you did that. How cool is that? I bet it made a lot more sense that way. Way to go sis. Yes, it is hard to not worry about tomorrow so I just worry about next week. LOL. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Thanks so much for the kind words for this piece. I actually write quite a bit of spiritual stuff but have to do humor too, and the birthday ones are spiritual to me because I am doing for someone else. Thanks a lot, and love ya lots sis. Debi

Whenever some one sends an audio, I get lost for a while.
If you want to watch and hear something interesting: do to You tube and watch the dance routine of CDK. They are fantastic. the best dance group I have ever seen. Karen

Powerful piece of writing! Thank you for your obedience in writing these words. I have such encouragement in these words of faith and humbly receive them on fertile ground. Perfect timing. I understand more now why the Lord has said "go beyond the walls."

Oh yes, Helen, you are so right, as I studied the scriptures I felt more and more joy coming to me. It wasn't long and I did feel even so much more joy. It was almost if my prayers had more meaning than before. So thank you so much. Thanks for everything.
Much love and hugs. Debi
