How have the hours fallen? times x harder; attempted my destruction' I have been swept along, in the hasty tide of despair Yet in the lone times between; truth has spoken, Endurance nurtured.. Salvation prevailed'

Yes indeed my friend. As I always say, Life is not always fair and it's not always fun but it's always an experience. It's what we choose to learn from the experience that decides the outcome. Great job and thanks so much for your kind words on my "Say Whut?" Sorry it took awhile to get back to you but every now and then I am gone for awhile. God Bless, JB

I can only see hope in prayer in Roy's situation Arthur, in the main in this write, I am talking of my own past times, also I was looking through the contests, and almost decided not to enter, one that spoke to me; due to my thoughts on Roy, thinking it may seem frivolous.. in light of my request for prayer, yet on considering I decided it would almost be a victory for despair, did I not participate.' so I put this down in the spirit of determination.'
