The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Reminds me tho, I bought a new flag to put up this weekend. The old one was getting a little weathered. Need to find me a good Boy Scout troop or VFW to properly take care of the old one.

We took our old one down last year. Msdrby and I folded it, and have a nice display flag on the mantle now.

I've got my FReeper Afghanistan flag on display:

And we have one that was Papa's flag. It was flown over the U.S. Capitol for his birthday one year. We put that up on special occasions. I'll fly it Sunday and again on Tuesday for his birthday.

Here I am!

Wn - Prayers for your Uncle...I hope everything comes out ok.

Corin - What can I say, man? Stay strong.

Ruthie - I skipped back and read over what you're going through, and it sounds very familiar to a situation that TCO and I were forced into when her parents lived with us. Prayers to you for strength.

To give y'all a quick summary - My brother and his wife are getting divorced (and I just had to kick him out of OUR house), my mom and her husband are getting divorced (he just put the house she's lived in for the last 16 years on the market today...very sad), and my younger brother is unemployed, seeing a shrink, and on meds for anxiety!

TCO, The Princess, and I, on the other hand, are holding strong...as the only sustainable, solid force in our immediate family.

My pastor is on vacation this week, and he wants me to run the service on Sunday...sermon and all...so I'm a little bogged down with the writing on that.

The "Sanctity of Marriage" rally, as many of you saw, went well, and we're already planning the next one for October 2nd. Keep an eye out on http://www.rallyformarriage.org as we build an "official" site for our work!

I'm drinking lots of coffee.

Coffee is good.

Thanks for checking in Seamus. Prayers for strength and for your sermon on Sunday...

We once went to a vey small church on Independence weekend where the pastor said "red, white and blue are the colors God chose"...red for the blood of Jesus, white for purity...I forget what blue was for...

Don't feel any obligation to "use" that. It's just a bonus. ;-)

So nice to see you, Seamus! I'll be praying for your family as well!

I'll also pray for God's wisdom to be imparted to you as you prepare the sermon. Best of luck and maybe you can get a copy of it on cassette/CD for me! I'd love to hear you preach. :-)

Please don't be a stranger. We miss ya when you're gone.
