Thoughts of David and Goliath
This week the Holy Spirit kept bringing the story of David and Goliath to my mind and urging me to go a little deeper into the story. With the help of Sara I was able to finish this piece.

My Mother’s Crowns
The New Jerusalem has been
Prepared as the mother of us all
That great city, the Holy Jerusalem
will be filled with sons and daughters
From the nations
My Mother

Ah, you missed a good one there.
A member of an angel band
Came quietly and took her hand,
And led her off somewhere.
Mama’s New Dress
“I really don’t like that dress at the store:
This old one I wear suits me fine.”
But why is that longing look in her eyes?
And why do her eyes seem to shine?
She says to herself, “I’ll buy some new shoes:
That boy of ours needs a pair.”
Something that should have been long thrown away,
His mama continues to wear.
Noah’s Story (age 10)
One day this boy named Noah was fishing. He had a huge blue marlin on. He was thinking about the future. “With this fish I would get a trophy. I would sell the trophy and buy a better fishing rod. With this fishing rod I would be able to catch bigger fish.” While he was daydreaming his huge blue marlin got away. All of his plans swam away. THE END
