The first time I heard about the female martyrs, I wondered what they thought they'd get out of it...
I have to go back and find one of the chipmunk taglines that I stole from T'wit...

Aw, just wash the pillowcase and forget about chipmunks. You and a handful of Amy's Army might understand that tagline, but nobody else would even guess. The one you have now, about female martyrs, is profound, and accessible to anyone.
You can steal this one if you wish :-) :-)

My Shadow
I do not like my shadow, He's always in my way. Whether from the street light, Or on a sunny day. I step and he steps with me, It sometimes makes me trip. I have to go where there's no light, To give this guy the slip. I feel like he is mocking me, A fan of his I'm not. I like him best around high noon, When he is just a spot. He never has a thing to say, At least that part is good. He follows me or sometimes leads, Around the neighborhood. I really wish he'd go sit down, And let me be alone. I catch him smoking pot again, That's it he best be gone.

Welcome back to Amy, then!
Nice poem, CG... interestingly enough, I have a cat called Shadow. I'd post a pic, but she won't sit still long enough for me to take one!

Me and my shadow look nothing alike. He's got dark hair. I think we were switched at birth.

My shadow must have a very active nightlife. He seems to disapear at dark and comes dragging in around sunrise. He sings really badly.

The Rebuke From A Friend
Read: Galatians 2:11-20
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Proverbs 27:6
Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 21-22; John 14
Never will I forget the rebuke I received from a friend when I was 17. He walked into the back of the butcher shop where I worked and saw me laughing at an indecent cartoon. He said he had admired my Christian character, and was surprised that I would laugh at something sinful and degrading. Instantly a wave of embarrassment swept over me. I shamefully admitted that I had sinned.
It's not pleasant to be rebuked, nor is it easy to rebuke another person. So I can imagine that the apostle Paul didn't like confronting Peter (Galatians 2:11). But he felt he had to, because Peter's hypocritical behavior was hurtful and confusing to the Gentile converts at Antioch. Peter had freely eaten with them, but after some Jews from Jerusalem came to the Antioch church, he shunned the Gentiles, fearing the Jews' disapproval. I imagine that he felt shame, but he apparently accepted the rebuke gracefully and changed his ways. He knew that Paul was a true friend who loved him. And in later years he referred to him as "our beloved brother Paul" (2 Peter 3:15).
If you must rebuke someone, do it gently. If you are rebuked, avoid an angry response. You may be getting a needed "faithful wound" from a friend. Herb Vander Lugt
A friend will gently say what's true,
Although it may cause pain;
He's really thinking of our good
And what we stand to gain. D. De Haan
A true friend will put a finger on your faults without rubbing them in.

The Pruning
Read: John 15:1-11
Every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. John 15:2
Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 23-24; John 15
In every vineyard, a vinedresser prunes the branches so they will produce more fruit. In a spiritual sense, our heavenly Father must deal with us in a similar way at timesby pruning our lives. It isn't only the dead branches that have to go, but sometimes even the living and vital ones must be cut back so that better and more bountiful fruit may grow.
Many different circumstances may serve as a pruning knife in the hands of the Master Vinedresser. It may be the rejecting gesture, the unkind word, or no word at all. It could be the frustration of living in a constant state of noise and confusion, with daily duties and no chance to find a quiet place to call our own. Or it might be waiting for God to intervene when everything seems hopeless and we have no friends to help us.
But the pruning knife is guided by a loving set of hands. The Master Vinedresser knows what we can take, and He knows what we can becomemore loving, joyful, tranquil, tolerant, kind, dependable, gentle, poisedstronger and better than we are today.
We must not shrink from the knife but trust the hand that holds it. Our Father in heaven has a purpose-to produce good fruit in us. David Roper
The Master is seeking a harvest
In lives He's redeemed by His blood;
He seeks for the fruit of the Spirit,
And works that will glorify God. Lehman
Fruitbearing + Pruning = More Fruit
