Love it, love it, love it! Great intelligent poetry delivered right here. Not only impressive in knowledge, but delivery and entertainment. You rocked it! Some lines awed me past average awe. Oh, the wit. I have to read it again. I must get my spirit guides book! So so so good ... CayCay

Offending? Truth only offends those that aren't ready for it or advanced enough to let it go if it doesn't resonate with them. My opinion - We all cook at different times and temperatures - i.e., learn at different stages in life journeys. (Hey, please read Authentic - just posted, that's what I currently know as my truth.) I'm talking too much! Me thinks I enjoyed meeting you!

Wow. Thank you CayCay for your glowing praise. I'm humbled. I was afraid of offending with this write, but I felt it is an important message, especially at Christmas time. I understand and accept those that don't celebrate it, but I also think those same need to respect that it should always be called Christmas. Let's just all love! Hugs to you, Sweetie.

Thank you, dear. It was my intent to point out our differences while maintaining our love for each other. It's a difficult topic to broach without offense. Hope I played it okay. Love to you.

This is so well done. Myself I am Christian but there is much we can learn from other people of faith. What appeals to me about Christianity is that it is the only way to God that is not dependent on us earning our salvation. It is a free gift offered and it is our free will to accept it or not.

Rhoda, a nicely written and thought provoking Abecedarian. We must all be tolerant of the beliefs of others if we are going to co-exist in this world. John
