She Said

We went out to our jewelry store,
To see just what was there.
We looked at rings with diamonds,
One-Carat Solitaire.
She found the one that caught her eye,
I asked if they would clean it.
I louped it under different lights,
It jumped to life I mean it.
I hit one knee and asked her if,
She would become my wife.
The answer that came from her lips,
Was strange, you bet your life.
There I knelt with heart a pound,
Expecting she’d say yes.
Instead with tears she issued forth,
“Well sure, I mean, I guess.”

Never Have I Fallen

Your lips speak soft sweetness
Your touch a cool caress
I am lost in your magic
My heart beats within your chest

I think of you each morning
And dream of you each night
I think of your arms being around me
And cannot express my delight

Never have I fallen
But I am quickly on my way
You hold a heart in your hands
That has never before been given away

Stay Within God's Limits

Read: Ephesians 5:15-21

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise. —Ephesians 5:15.

Bible In One Year: Ezra 1-2; John 19:23-42

One of life's greatest enjoyments for Suzannah Worl is riding her Harley-Davidson motorcyle. In a devotional article for Covenant Publications, she wrote about cruising the streets of Chicago with her friends late one summer night. They were riding along the shore of Lake Michigan, enjoying the bright moonlight and gentle breeze off the water.

Suddenly the lead motorcyclist took off and several of the group went with him, reaching speeds of 100 miles an hour. Suzannah was tempted to join them—but she didn't. She knew it was not safe and it was against the law. So she held back, continuing at normal speed.

Sometimes the way others live seems far more attractive and exciting than our Christian life. We're tempted to disobey God's commands or compromise principles from His Word. But we are called to live each day with self-discipline and spiritual discernment. The apostle Paul said, "Walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise" (Ephesians 5:15).

We need to ask the Lord for His help so that we'll see situations through His eyes and make wise choices. As we obey Him and stay within His limits, we will find true joy and lasting satisfaction. —Dave Egner

Living for Jesus a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do;
Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me. —Chisholm

The wise know God's limits—fools know no bounds.

Very nice. Laura Earl liked it too.

*sigh* Maybe one day.

I have to tell you that CG's song lyrics and Patriotic poems represent so much of what I feel. This is a great silly, romantic poem.. I assume written for your wife CG? She is lucky to have someone write these things for her!

Have a great day!

I'm not sure if I should laugh or feel sorry for the potential groom!?!

The answer that came from her lips,
Was strange, you bet your life.
There I knelt with heart a pound,
Expecting she’d say yes.
Instead with tears she issued forth,
“Well sure, I mean, I guess.”

I thought the woman's response was humorous or sad, but then I see cyborg and Amy say it was sweet. I guess I don't understand "love". Thank you for the poem.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much for the beautiful poem!

As the sun sets today
we see the last of a week's
rememberance

My voice with those of others
a solemn song of love and reflection
the humble communication to Deity
by one of his creations

We have lost a great one to the ages
one who had the courage to exit gracefully
before his own spirit's temple
became its ever darkening prison

The hardest lesson Mr. Reagan ever taught me
a way of living whose simplicity is inversely
proportional
to the difficulties encountered in the execution
The ability to be resolute and secure
yet also kind spirited and of good dispositon
in the face of detractors
venomous tongues
and hearts blinded by the will to hatred

The fog has lifted
and his spirit once imprisoned
is free

The sense of loss
lessened by the knowledge of this
The sense of mission renewed
by rememberance of the leader who taught
The hardest lesson
