Twos company

     You brought god to me, but told me we must wait 

     You brought the devil too, he said name your date 

     Decided to cut my losses, meet everyone half way 

     For a life of heaven and hell, I wed you right away

My first thought...Life with that woman was sometimes like heaven, but lordy mercy... she could give the devil a run for his demonic ranting at other times. Shallow, but it's all I've got after a day of babysitting a one-year-old and a four-year-old.

The accomplishment of being the instigators while trying to convince everyone they are the victims. BS

Yeah and point the finger at their own delusional accomplishments, forgiveness is only for themselves

Lol David. It was two days in a row after a week with a ten-year old. Grandkids are the greatest! For an agnostic, you’re pretty great, too. Haha. Some who claim to be Christian would rather point fingers of accusation rather than of forgiveness.

Stand on a high point so you can see both directions, whoever wins go with that. The taliban used to do that change to the the side that was more powerful so they were always on the winning side. Tom

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yeah definitely a tactic of the taliban Tom, I suppose beats being on the losing side, life is never straightforward, cheers David

Desperation at twenty-nine? Like the desperation at thirty-five for procreation! One can have a broken heart, livin' in misery. Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy. We estimate a long life of charm, don't we? I gave it a shot... a shout out to the wife? I must say, how sweet is Darlene, de ja vu`

Oh I’m not a romantic at heart Anaya, but yes finding balance between heaven and hell in marriage is definitely not easy, think I managed it in real life, and this post without excessive sentimentality, desperation is always more likely to fail, at least you gave it a couple of shots, Darlene is very sweet, (the fairy godmother on the soup) cheers David
