Goliath was a big threat to Israel
A giant with intimidating records
Of military prowess which turned Israelite soldiers
To a bunch of faithless cowards
And to an army of lily livered derelicts
As they capitulated in fear
And let the sleeping dog lie
While Goliath had his fill
Threatening God’s own army
But it took a lively faith and just a stone
To bring the mountain of a giant
Crashing to a disgraceful end
As David used faith as heavenly currency
To purchase heavenly grace
And brought the boastful philistine
To a dismal end
Are you faced with any life’s challenges?
Look back with faith on God’s track record in your life
And be filled with amazing strength and power
To overcome all Goliaths threatening your very existence
mushrooms terrified
giant oak was shadow man
white violets giggled
When I looked into his eyes, I neither saw nor felt love. There were an arresting darkness and smothering hate. Captured by the moment, I needed a way of escape. I remained a moment more, not knowing which path to take. The thought that I should not have looked never occurred to me.
More than 40 years ago, I encountered the eyes of deceit. His eyes seemed to cast me into a mild freeze, rendering defeat.
Some eyes defy any sense of calm or comfort and promote fear. Such eyes intimidate and seem to wrap themselves around you. Like the eyes of a demon, forcing one to stand down and question. I felt a cloud of darkness within his eyes, and slowly backed away.
Not knowing what to do or what to say, I turned and looked away.
I had little experience with such encounters, as I studied for my degree. One older and stronger than me, took command, calming that human sea.

It means it's cheap.
Harold is the most hostile chimp king we have ever had
I said “he could not be tougher than my angry granddad”
Then I met him, and he was real bad with a skull for a crown.
Surrounded by roses, pheasants and feathers, ram horns made a sound.
He is rather frightening I admitted, for I was afraid of his gold eyes.
I am afraid of him too said Queen Mother, his mom – no big surprise.
Big Lulu came by and kicked Harold off his throne with much glee.
Having no idea that she was his wife, I was astounded by she.
Her laugh was a sharp sound.
It made you wonder whether she was amused or if her throat was simply incapable of making any other sound.
It suited the heavy look in her eyes, the straightness of her spine.
When she laughed, everyone within the room paused, at once enraptured and affronted.
The curve of her lips gave nothing away but danger.
