Basic (Bible... Always... Saving = The Living Christ) New math…, 1 + 1 = politics. Old disguises, sacred, promises, and personal agendas. Fear, and mongering, all around. Bible thumpers, We laugh at you, always in the pink? What do you have? I want some, more… (hungry, empty, greedy, needy) How can I, even the score? Is there a place? Make your case! Show me the door! ("He" is waiting, whispered in awe.) Down on your knees, You will find, Not quarters in your socks… But a special, humble place, for the gentlest of, TALKS! Brimstone, hatred, promises to be good… All are less, and seldom, even far, misunderstood. You know the truth, Or a least by now..., YOU should.

Our lives are measured from birth to death, yet we are not pre-vee of the answer. We should remember that it may be sooner than we had imagined. I have lost many in the last year, several...way too young. It is a priority shift, to be mindful. Treat everyone you meet as if it is the first and last time you will ever do so. See what happens... Changed my life... Ann
