The Perfect Pen
orchidee said:

Please excuse me (heehee) if I swoon at the last verse! Erm, didn\'t Augustine want chastity - but \'not yet\'? Was it also he who wanted patience, but not yet?

Gary Edward Geraci said:

The country churches, tucked away in the countryside, seem to me to be all the more inviting and, they are usually left unlocked too. Thanks for stopping by - my doors are always unlocked and open for kind souls.

A fine write Gary. Looks a bit like a Chapel I know here in UK. It\'s rather in the back of beyond, in the country. I don\'t get to it much these days, but do sometimes, weather permitting.

“science can’t answer certain questions concerning the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of it”
FineB said:

Hello Gary,

An interesting write. Very good.

Are there answers to everything in life I don\'t think there are?

Keep writing FineB

orchidee said:

Yes, them syllables can be pesky. I mean \'heaven\' could be one or two syllables, for example, as in heav-en, or heaven (said more quickly). Or settle for heav\'n, and a missing \'e\'.
Enough waffle!

A good write Gary.
Meanwhile, folk ask me - Why did I start singing? And how can I call it singing?! heehee.
I know someone who heard a song, and said in jest \'is there music to that?\'lol.

“collapsing time and tense to understand the procession of PERSONS”
orchidee said:

A fine write Gary. I heard a true, but sounding hyfalutin phrase, something like: \'God, the All-Eternal, Ever-Existing Being....\'And all them Omni words too - omnipresent, omniscient, etc.

a day on the beach with my wife...
Gary Edward Geraci said:

Thank you O - your clever mnemonic device indicates both a great love for cats and our duty to spread Christ’s Gospel through new and ‘purr’fected forms of catechesis!

a day on the beach with my wife...
orchidee said:

A fine write Gary. Oh lol, a way to remember a word: \'A kitty cat I call\', or \'Cat-a-ket-ick-call\'. I will stop waffling now!

Piqued and Pruned
Gary Edward Geraci said:

Some people simply choose to believe only that which they can see in front of their very own noses Orchidee ... thankfully - it will be the work of Grace that continues to gently prod and pull; giving the world a new believer in place of a persecutor.

“Saint of Unbelievers”
Gary Edward Geraci said:

In the end my friend we will all grin and embrace one another realizing at last that we all were playing on the same team after all!

“Saint of Unbelievers”
orchidee said:

We know we are all saints in one way - Saint-ified, sanctified believers.
One (Protestant!) I know is quite raging today over this. Oh, a hell-fire and damnation type of Editorial he wrote in a Church Newsletter.
I suppose Protestants say \'A pity he went over to R.C\'.

A spot of persecution there Gary?
Yet is she - she who must be obeyed?! A line from a film, I believe.

Exactly O, those birds would keep our cricket population in check; yes , everything’s beautifully woven together - even for the cricket.

Mayan Mayhem
Gary Edward Geraci said:

Everything we build will come crashing down in the end, O, including my minor catalogue of word arrangements - but He will continue to exist as He always has. I put my trust in what He has revealed to us -for those who will choose to follow him: eternal life. And for those who will not: eternal damnation.

I was about to build a Tower of Babel, but I though best not to, in view of past events!

Just How Things Are
Gary Edward Geraci said:

Here goes: Pointing ——> “Matters of Life & Death: A Catholic Guide To The Moral Questions Of Our Time” by Gerard M. Verschuuren.
Buy this work, set aside 1/2 hour, and go straight to the chapter titled “Euthanasia” and the section “What Is a Meaningful Life?” for one of the best essays I’ve read on the questions of suffering and the justice of the Last Judgement.

Convinced and Pointing

A fine write Gary. Some things are not much help as \'pointers\', while other things are more useful.

One Sacrificial Union Between God and His Church, Man and His Wife
orchidee said:

We know there\'s no need to fight like cat and dog over this - the denominations. Though you know how you and I agree to differ in this.

Meanwhile - why is the front of the ship not called the \'beft\' (\'before; \'front\')?!
I wish I would shut up sometimes and go back to sleep awhile! heehee.

A fine write Gary. I use that phrase sometimes, as an \'excuse\' as I may find some poems cryptic or too involved (for me brain cells to compute!).
