A New World
by Alice Crowell Hoffman

Columbus found a new world
Because he dared to do
A thing that was unheard of-
A thing that was quite new.
Columbus found a new world
Because he made a start,
Instead of merely pond'ring o'er
The thoughts within his heart.
Columbus found a new world
Because he saw things through
And you can find your new world
Precisely that way, too.

Our nation will prosper or decline in direct proportion
 to our selection of leaders who are guided by the 
Holy Spirit. If we fail to select Godly leaders our destiny will surely be as that of the Roman Empire.

Evening everyone!!! Happy Monday all.

A HAND IN THE BIRD

I am a maiden who is forty,
And a maiden I shall stay.
There are some who call me haughty,
But I care not what they say.

I was running the tombola
At our church bazaar today,
And doing it with gusto
In my usual jolly way

When suddenly, I knew not why,
There came a funny feeling
Of something crawling up my thigh!
I nearly hit the ceiling!

A mouse! I thought. How foul! How mean!
How exquisitely tickly!
Quite soon I know I'm going to scream.
I've got to catch it quickly.

I made a grab. I caught the mouse,
Now right inside my knickers.
A mouse my foot! It was a HAND!
Great Scott! It was the vicar's!'

-- Roald Dahl

Good morning to you. I have been fairly busy and have not had the time to show up on the thread or to write anything new. But I have it on my mind....
