Oh My Lord Carla! What a Post. " My son, If you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Proverbs 2:1-8  Your Adland Prayerwarrior... have a great week! God_bless

Carla,

The picture is a painting by Eric Hollander and it was
all over the net a few years back.  I obtained permission to feature it on my page that I shared earlier in this forum (the picture did not show up)  It is a very
inspiring painting and really makes one think about
what Jesus is feeling as he looks down on earth.

Thank you for prayer to ask for poetry to return to
me - that would be wonderful to have this gift again
as I could express so much more and it was so cleansing
and enjoyable while I had it.  James sometimes helped
me with a word or sentence that I needed to tweak
as it was not flowing, as he wrote poetry a while ago
too and has not done so for years.
