I ask not to be treated, rather accepted as equal, and so it is as it should always be without fanfare, for it is silently understood...From the book of Frederic

Nicely worded. But this is the book of Lovejoy-Burton. This is my fanfare to Him, nothing more (although He deserves more), nothing less. x Thanks FP.

God and you are a majority. This is beautiful. Great Lion Heart. Very spiritual. Love it! One is never weak nor alone when one has a Lion Heart for companionship. Very inspiring work.

Joe, I am making the acquaintance of some very interesting characters in The Soup and in Life, but this Man by far is the most intriguing and worth getting to know much better. I would stand by Him any day and call Him my friend, defend Him. I protect the people I love. I protect the people I call friend. While I am no saint by a long shot, I would always try my best to stand by those less fortunate, who are doing it tough, do not have family, friends standing next to them. I have handed Him my heart and trust Him implicitly. Thank you for your thoughts. They are spot on. Trust your short stories are firing along. They are very very good. L.

Beautiful words Leanne. Very inspiring and melodic. Religious or not -LOVE is how we become better to those who need us.

I have never been 'religious', ie followed a religion, but Jesus did exist and he didn't have to go through what he did, he went with all that because He 'believed' and He had 'faith' in not only God but in us. Whether he miraculously rose from the dead on the third day supernaturally, or was saved by the rich Merchant Joseph of Aramethea, Nicademus and his disciples and escorted safely to Kashmir, his message is clearly in the sacrifice he made for us. LOVE is the most important. Personally, I believe He is with me constantly, even when I forget. People need Him, His message and His belief, Faith and courage more than ever at this time in our world. There endeth the sermon for today, Reverend Lovejoy...:) x

The best Love song Rico. LIONHEART is in everyone. Some are aware He's there, others yet to work it all out in their own way and time.x

Your below consideration is of little value. But the above is worth considering. Fame and fortune isn't part of this story nor the journey. For me, it is a story about Love, Faith, Loyalty, Trust, Belief, Respect for Jesus Christ. This is my interpretation and my belief.

Few a man are we...with those qualities...maybe easier to attain fame and fortune...
