Thanks to.my LORD JESUS, Saviour -Redeemer-King, for my survival.

For Harry Horsman Lisa Ricci and I Am Anaya and You - Judging2

Dedication is to my Friends who avoid judging:

You are not the judge
But judge you must
For earthly matters and such
Leave hell to satan or demons
But Heaven in fragrances of your words:
Epitaph, apology, poetry, piety, congrats - - 
Even angels fall, why not us (Adamic) mortals -
When pride and ego explode in ungodly challenge!

For Lisa Ricci

I
Once we prayed for fatigued hands
Jesus, Yahwah Rophikah, healer
He had previously helped heal Carmelo
God had been faithful to Hebrews
In the desert, in Canaan, in wars
Yahwah Nissi, Our Banner
The One who wins victories for us
He is faithful even if we are not 
( 2 Timothy 2:11-13)

II
LORD, we glorify Thee, In three Persons -
Elohim: Father, Son, The

Explanation - But Lisa Ricci Said Don'T Long Ago

I
The scripture I read
Rebukes lust and greed
My Lord will forgive
Change how we live
Love God, love people:
Not pastor, church, steeple

II
I have Hindu family
They offer their homily
On forgiveness too often
Basics of love, shun
So, I write poetry
To add to missionary
Tools, a biblical education
God offers ALL SALVATION

FOOTNOTE: I am a missionary in South Africa at this time. It is

Electric Update Darlene, Lisa Ricci, Debra Brown

I
It is a new day, before 2, after midnite
It is dark, humid. We have fans, quiet
So too refrigerators, AC, & soon, phones
As it looks likely, the blackout goes on

II
It was so hot & humid, I went outside
Took a plastic chair, a break from inside
Watched faint glows from white farms
As steady rain falls, fog it's art

Carmelo Ricci

I
The hands Carmelo's genes shaped
Are somewhat lighter, her heart sadder
Carmelo Ricci left a world of pandemics
On January 17, 2022; heaven is happier

II
If a dad can raise a caring, hand-some lass
Who is among those who love hard, not loud: 
The same who almost alone cares for Mama
Carmelo and Marie have done God proud

NOTE: GODSPEED TO CARMELO

For Friend Lisa Ricci, Foreground Background

The universe is in your eyes
(It exists in processing; God's the background)
After this life, the energy Pole - and the eyes -
Allow Consciousness Pole to arise
They are always together, Dear Heart!
Like background ( or SPACE itself) in art
As crucial as Foreground (the details, the stage)
WE love the Energy Pole for love is in the eyes
But

Tee-Shirt, Old Jeans

The question, urgent and acute, that fashion
asks every woman daily: what does she
prefer? A Ricci’s chic, a chilly passion
of Ungaro, an ease of Givenchy?

What’s better? A dramatically black look
or, say, an all-white? A silk cape with strappy 
heels or a floral-printed dress like Brook
Shields in “Allure”? The one that makes her happy.

So what if… Her

Love To Pray: Please, Please Pray For Lisa Ricci

JULY FOURTH PRAYER FOR USA & PATIENTS

A wonderful Lady of Poetry Soup needs prayer
For her beloved dad, a month after surgery
She may not know I am asking you to pray
But my spirit seeks strength in you, for her
I refuse to think I alone can intercede with Abba-Father
I know He loves every one of you, He

On request of my friends:
Here is Lisa's entry:

"the midnight hour"


with any midnight hour as it should life with desire arrive

be it man or animal love is love is love with all its blessings

within the shelter of trees stars still sparkle among the black and

Premium MemberA Dance For Life - Collaboration With Lisa Ricci

while dangerously near
 the time is now
 we dance for life
 we move to love
 such a maneuver saves our souls
 slowly performing to perfection
 nothing matters but oneness
 to music rhythm to each other

 our slow moves circle each other
 cautiously positing
 each step
 each lift of an arm
 we turn our faces to
