I know the man behind this frown I’m no better than Paul When he said I never knew I’ve denied you more than thrice ‘Cause I was sure of what you’d do you’d surely turn me in and I too would die with you even though I told you It’s what I’d never do I ran for my life that night while they tortured you I shed and cried caustic tears while I watched and I saw you die This all happen before my very eyes I heard you say forgive them they know not what they do I felt the empty darkness when your Ghost flew away I spent three days wandering of the things you said for us to say I thought of the man beside who asked just “remember me” So if I may plagiarize I’d please say “Will you remember me too” dale wayne vansickle gwaltney this is all I have for thee... Oh, and one other thing Dad Thanks for the eyes you’ve given me............ < !signature--> Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am.

It was the worst nightmare I think I've ever known... I spent the night in Paul's sandals and woke to write this... God says we were all as dirty rags in His sight but thank His graciousness He sent His son who was kind enough to clean the dirty laundry. dale .

What a hideous nightmare you had - and of a true and tragic time. Yet if it weren't for God's grace, sending His son to die for all of our sins, no one would have a future in Heaven. I'm so sorry you dreamed of being in Paul's sandals. That must have been truly dreadful. His deep remorse about his denying that he knew Jesus, in a night of terror, undoubtedly haunted him all the rest of his life. But you know he is forgiven. |

I can’t begin to tell you just how awesome and realistic this dream had been... I saw myself cutting off some ones ear & Christ picking it up & putting it back again. I saw myself following far behind the crowd in order not to be seen... Even saw myself yelling and cursing a lady who was accusing me... I even saw Christ face while shackled as he turned and looked at me... I couldn’t believe myself that I told him just an hour or so before how he was so wrong and how that I’d never deny for nothing... and then to see him drag his dying post to a place called Calvary and then to see my brothers turn and walk their separate ways at an unfair crucifixion... I was afraid and hid that none would see my face... I was on some wayward road when I thought I saw his face but that was when I awoke and I jotted down this piece Thank you for the time Amy & Rosemary .

Oh, dear friend~ He will remember you, as His mercy is all encompassing. My friend, my friend~ I would hope that your next visioning would be of the serenity of the birth of Him who was gifted unto this world that we might be washed in the blood of the Lamb. What greater gift ? None but Thee - None but Thee Sleep well, my friend~ He stands the watch. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, After waking so abruptly... Rosemary asked what was wrong... I said I had a dream... She asked to know and I said I would never tell a soul as I felt so awful... I guess I was still wandering in and out of the dream and could have thought that Paul was really me. With only a couple of hours sleep I wrote all I could remember. It was not many days before that Rosemary and myself had had the strangest thing ever happen to us... We both had the same dream and woke to find ourselves talking to eachother while still dreaming... while waking we found we were in the very same dream... She and I have never had anything like this happen ever. This has certianly proposed a light never seen. As far as his birth and Christmas... Wouldn't it be nice this Christmas for Christ to come and take us home..? WHAT a present that would be... Thank you for your time. dale [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 12-12-2000).] |
