My Life In Six Words: Jesus Saved Me and That’s Enough.
How did I wind up here?
"You’ve got to live, for yourself…"
(from James Brown)
awaiting unanticipated thrills each moment brings
So far, yet so far away
Easy to forget, even by me!
It’s never too late to begin.
Wanda
In love again, God help me.
Three down, six lives to go.
So much fun, so little time
New York rescued me from monotony.
-Kriste, Writer’s Relief Staff
My reach always exceeds my grasp
Life continues: cautious optimistic, lessons learned.
Dream big, breathe deep, leap, repeat.
In the long run, we’re goners.
Thanks, God! I CAN do this!
Depression era, war vet, successful, retired
Sometimes lonely hopelessly romantic internet geek
Saved, unsuccessful, Lord, missions, retired, writing.
Found the one, then he left
An inestinguishable flame, whatever my fire.
Rescued by the one I love.
Loving every moment of every day.
It’s not my fault, it’s theirs.
Broken pieces, glued back by God.
I always refuse to follow directions, thusly.
-Dan, Writer’s Relief Staff
My life is God’s enchanting dream…
I’m going to make it afterall.
Mind renewal is a constant crucible.
God knows His plans for me!
I have 3 kids. All boys.
A little too settled and suburban
Continually addressing: "Over promise, under deliver."
Miles to go before I sleep.
Ok, so I’m not the original author of that line, but it still tells my life story.
Angeline
Loving myself, after all these years.
A.D.
She never did like deadlines.
Vera Marie
I’m still a work in progress.
55 never fit in happy me
God, save me from my atheism.
I search for myself. Don’t disturb.
Young, ordinary girl living her dreams. 🙂
They took more than I owed.
