I do believe a whole new dictionary
could be pulled together,
based on your devotionals alone.

hard to say what this one makes me think and feel. it is hard to imagine what life would be like, walking along such and edge.

as always, i enjoy your skill with words

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

'tis sad that we cannot give her something else to make a living from, as I believe the coke trade is responsible for too many deaths
I love the way you 'speak' vernacular
