LOL!
Yes, isn’t that a cute story? I just told yorkie that it sure is a small world. My husband was a Jaycee and so was hers. And our cakes were identical. Wish you had some of mine sitting over there on the counter....~~sigh~~
**both have the “English Rhyming Cadence” of iambic structure**
I don’t know all the proper names, but I know what I like, and I do like your poems! LOL
**visual corollary**
You could be right. Shrug. I’m good at taking seemingly unrelated things and coming up with an answer—it’s why I’m so good at board games like trivial pursuit. My subconscious attracts stuff like that like you wouldn’t believe! LOL Brain lint!
**I remember begging my parents for a horse**
I begged from the time I knew what horses were. We lived on a farm and I couldn’t understand why the answer was always no! LOL
I got ponies eventually, which are not at all teh same thing, but I learned to ride and to defend myself against teeth , hooves, barbwire fences, low hanging limbs, etc.
I finally got a horse wehn I got older—a sweet little Morgan mare. I found out you can either work and feed tehm, but you have no time to ride—or you can not work and have time to ride but you can’t afford feed/vets. LOl
Still love them.
We lived in town..but I begged anyway..LOL
I usually accepted whatever my parents said but I recall this because it took me so long to let it go.
Sounds like you had good growing up experienceson the farm.
Horses are such a big responsibility..I enjoy watching Animal Planet and the rescue shows..It is appalling how some horse owners treat their animals.
I wish I did, too..and some of your meatloaf.
I guess this proves that at least with cherries, you can halve them and eat them too!
Lol! : ) The Flower in my Post #872 is a Close-Up of a Cyclamen Growing in a Flower Pot in my House; Thank you for Saying it's Beautiful. : ) I Take a Lot of Pics as a Hobby; our Lord has Created So Many Wonderful Flowers!
Checking the computer before closing down....(been dozing a few minutes). You are a genius...I love that...think we can apply that to the “halve your cake and eat it too?” Or something like that. NNB, you can say it better!
Thanks~~~
Dear Meg, Thank you for the Cute Graphic you Posted to me in #873. : )

We can't forget peaches, pears, apples and oranges along with cherries, can we? ;-)
**you can halve them and eat them too!**
Too funny!
And no, I don’t halve my cherries! They’re so cheery in the middle of the pineapple rings!
**Sounds like you had good growing up experienceson the farm.**
I loved growing up on the farm, wouldn’t trade it for anything! Horses are a lot of WORK! Kind of like a garden—you don’t do it because you’re saving money but because you love it and can’t do any less.
Can’t watch rescue shows—they break my heart.
I could never work at a prison—I hate to even put my dogs in a kennel, whether it’s the single size ones inside or the big outdoor one. Of course they know it and act like I’m killing them! Give the major guilt trip and make me feel like a heel! It’s like leaving a kid at day care—as soon as you’re out of sight, they’re fine!
For centuries, many Christians were not permitted to read God’s Word in their own language. Instead, they were encouraged to attend Latin services that few could understand.
Then, in 1516, the Dutch scholar Erasmus compiled and published the first New Testament in the original Greek language. This landmark work was the basis for the later publication of Luther’s German Bible, Tyndale’s English Bible, and the King James Version. These translations made the Scriptures understandable to millions of people around the world.
Erasmus could not have known the influence his Greek New Testament would have, but he did have a passion for getting its message to laypeople from all walks of life. In the preface he wrote: “I would have [the Gospels and the Epistles] translated into all languages . . . . I long for the plowboy to sing them to himself as he follows the plow [and] the weaver to hum them to the tune of his shuttle.”
The prophet Jeremiah reflected this same passion for the Word: “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your Word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart” (15:16).
Having God’s Word in our own language allows us to experience the joy of meditating on it each day.
