    Yes, I did. Very much. I don't post much poetry...I don't even write much anymore...My time is too limited. But I love reading poetry. Some of the stuff I wrote a year or so ago I may be posting soon.

    Anyway, I really did like all of them. I liked Thursday Morning especially. Brilliant imagery.

If God keeps hitting me in the mouth, maybe he wants me to just shut up...

The heroforthenight had a seizurefortheday.

"Your son had a bit of excitement today. He tried to open a door with his foot. Then he kicked the door. He walked about twenty feet and kissed the floor. He curled into a fetal position and convulsed."

That nurse made me sound like a moron.

Here's what happened.

I did open a door with my foot. My hands were full. The door managed swock itself across my knee as I opened it. It dislocated my kneecap and pinched a nerve. I walked twenty feet and my vision started blacking in around the edges. I lifted up my leg and shook it hard. It snapped my kneecap back into place, allowing the nerve to finally send a message of extreme agony. My system went into shock from the pain. I blacked out. Naturally, I did not remain on my feet. I fell forward, cracked my head on the cement and snapped my mouth hard, chipping two of my teeth. I had a headache. That was all. I didn't even need any drugs at the dentist.

    Oh, I was wondering why you mentioned Spanish - RYC, wonderful as it is, is not the pantheon of ethnic variety - forgot I had asked like that. I use por que all the time though. It lends itself more easily to expressive conversation.

    Yeah, I heard about it. He thought you were cool, too. He really enjoyed camp - though now he is contemptuous of RYC because there aren't 52 Bible classes a day - even though he hasn't been.

The stars were out last night.

They were beautiful.

You all need to know something; you are beautiful. Yes, you.

Do you know why you are beautiful?

But after these things Joseph of Arimathaea prayed Pilate, that he should take away the body of Jesus, for that he was a disciple of Jesus, but privily for dread of the Jews. And Pilate suffered. And so he came, and took away the body of Jesus.
~The Good News of John

That is why you are beautiful.

Psalm 27:4
"One thing have I desired of the LORD,
that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the LORD,
and to inquire in his temple."
