~*~ Lurking shadows follow closely Casting darkness on the light Waiting for the chance to take you To lost worlds of darkest night Heaven's angels cannot save you If you sink to depths of hell Fire, brimstone, sulfur gases Would be the home in which you'd dwell Shun the shadows, seek the sunshine Live your life by Golden Rule Treat fellow man with love and kindness As you'd have him do unto you ~*~ |

Linda, interesting words here. Yes, we should always at least try to follow the golden rule. If not....the world would be living hell. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Linda, I agree with all my heart, I just want everyone to be happy and want to teach as many children as I can the meaning of Love and the Golden Rule so they can grow with peace at heart and bring hope to the future! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

shun the shadows hang onto the light... unless of course those shadows are just reflecting reality off of Midnite's flashlight  just me, forever playing devils advocate or the court jester perhaps? |

Shun the shadows, seek the sunshine...awesome line here! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Some of those shadows are pretty efficient lurkers... and finding the sunshine with them wrapped around your ankles is worse than dragging a ball and chain. *S* I liked this very much, EA... wise advice. *S* |

Amazing, that when things become darkest, we not only stretch for the light, but for the words, as well... Enjoyed this, EA... very much. |

Heaven's angels cannot save you If you sink to depths of hell Fire, brimstone, sulfur gases Would be the home in which you'd dwell Yeah, I've heard often enough this advice that no power on earth can save you, unless you do something to save yourself. But a question here, is 'sulfur' the same as 'sulphur'? _,,,^.^,,,_ |

Mon Cherie ~ I heard enough of the fire and brimstone stuff myself when I was growing up. I am not of that belief anymore! --But it scared me so much, that I did my best to be very, very good little "angel"! Now, I sin all I want!--Just jokin'! LOL "Sulphur" can be spelled both ways. "Sulfur" is the American way and the other is the British. ~ May love and beauty grace all the days of your life... EA |
