Found another poem (thank you for sending it mom!)


Patience [written on the 11th of February 2002]

Consider the hanger:
day upon day
it wears the white gown
that waits for me.
I wait for one day in June
that I will take over its duty.
For that one day, the hanger
will be relieved.
And in my borrowed gown
I shall declare
to choose only one
every day.




Happy DECADE Mister (Doctor in a while!) William Franklin Koogler!!! I'm so glad that the Lord matched us up. Here's to double digits until "death do us part!" I could not ask for a better husband!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts: 2 Timothy introduction

I love the Bible! Today, Thru the Bible started 2 Timothy and Dr McGee called it Paul's 'swan song.' He mentioned another author's swan song as well--if you like, please read 2 Timothy or check out the free resources and/or listen for yourself at TTB.org (or with the app--my fave!).  The mention of swan songs reminds me that events, things, attention, etc are all finite. Earth is finite. I am finite. Or as an introduction to 2 Timothy states: "The average human lifespan is longer now than it used to be.

And, we can be connected with Him by grace through faith in Jesus!  As Paul wrote: "He has saved us and called us with a holy calling not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jeus before time began . This has now been made evident thr...

wrITing

 "Just write." is good, solid writing advice. Writing is a discipline. It takes time. It is a personal investment. For example, no matter who coined this (there is a debate--anyone also heard Hawthorne?), there is something to the quote: " There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” And, writing is wordage--whether in brief, but poignantly palpable Haiku, 30-minute, 5-ingredient recipes, or in long chapters, chronicles, dissertations, lawful  briefs , a series, etc. There is wordage scattered across many platforms in overwhelming forms. Perhaps this is why "talk is cheap." Words are words unless they are accompanied by meaning and/or action. So the art of typing combined with the magic of spelling, punctuation, language, grammar, etc. may not amount to much, but words skillfully woven into ideas have power. And this is why there is "nothing to writing." Individual words may have little meaning, but when the words ar...
