[JustAmy]

God has not promised skies always blue,
flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God has not promised sun without rain,
joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God has promised strength for the day,
rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
unfailing sympathy, undying love.

The Powers that Be

He gets up at five
Turns the coffee pot on
Another day at the factory
And it's going to be long

He stares at the wall
Where a calendar hangs
And thinks "Who needs that?
Every day's just the same."

He remembers a river
Where he used to catch fish
Once he caught a ten pounder
And fulfilled a deep wish

He remembers the picture
His friend had to take
They'd been out all evening
He was barely awake!

Just one more cup of coffee
And a paper to read
Then it's off to the factory
And the powers that be

And God has kept his promise. The sun always shines on Temple Owl. Good morning all.

Pretty.
And 'Uh oh, new thread'.
Thou hast invented a new thing.
Instead of thread bouncing, what I do which is going from thread to thread amongst friends and such, thou hast created the Thread Hop.
The whole thread moves along on a per day basis.
(Could be interesting to see if that inspires anything in and of itself..)

Good morning
hope you have a good day
