orchidee said:
I don\'t agree with any spooky or \'magnetic\' influences, that the moon may have on us. But maybe it\'s some picture of how life is, sometimes anyway, as it \'waxes and wanes\' as a hymn says.
It goes in a cycle - smaller, gradually to a new moon (shown as black dot in diaries,etc), then enlarges to full moon (shown as white circle), and so on again and again.

Where Are You God?
Suresh said:
your pain, just like \'dusk arising\' and mine in case of my daughter, are all very personal.
I have offered mine for my daughters well being, but there are no takers.
I have challenged HIM to a game of chance, but all I can hear is HIS thunderous laughter
And then I realize is unfair of me to additionally burden HIM with my pain as well, and so I must silently go it alone.
And so my friend, I wish that you and all her loved ones may find the strength to comfort her and that a cure may be found soon to cure her.

Thanks for caring & sharing Uncle ANDY ~ We pray for you and Your Beloved Joyce every Day that you will both have PEACE of MIND. When I face similar situations with older freinds of my Parents who were one Stalwarts for the Lord ~ Teachers ~ Pastors ~ Missionaries etc ~ But now unable to comprehend and unable to Pary ~ but in a Paradoxical Way ~ LOVE TO BE PRAYED WITH & FOR ~ Amen. Joyce is still the Lovely & Loving Girl you married and GOD does not change and our Faith in Him should never waver. As CHRISTIANS we all have our Cross to BEAR bu yours (and Joyce\'s) is a particularly difficult one 24/7. As I have said before the Agony & Ecstasy in your POEMS gives Angela & I the Courage and Spiritual Strength to face together~ with GOD ~ whatever fate might throw at us ~ todays Poem will help us when We too face lifes tempests.
Every Blessing & Love to you both
Thank you for being you & baring & sharing your heart !

If I could pop over and give you a man hug, I would do just that my friend...
This is one of the most powerful and emotionally charged pleas I have read in a very long time...and penned so cleverly too...
I shall refine my embu later and include both you and your dear wife in it and my thoughts..... Neville

Super comment from Tepo - I find it so hard to imagine the despair and anguish in your circumstances for someone who believes - a real test to the faith.

If this helps at all, the Psalmists also have rants at God, of sorts, if contained within certain language. They are not all praisey Psalms.
Somehow they (David did not write ALL the Psalms) find a way through, even in Old Testament days. It\'s said we have much more in New Testament days
Of course it\'s OK to believe, for who seem to \'have it all together\', no suffering, etc.

dusk arising said:
This is terrible for you. An awful cry out of anger and disappointment.
Years ago i found myself doing a similar thing for my beautiful daughter who was born severely mentally handicapped and autistic. My rant was heartfelt and my faith in a benevolent god died.
Nowadays i hold a spiritual faith similar to your own.
More and more are coming to realise that the god of christianity is not the nice guy we were taught about and the church itself is a questionable establishment.
Heartfelt sympathy for you in this painful part of your life Goldfinch.

I so often reminise about my days at Dacorum College, in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, and the cottage I rented in the village of Bovingdon, for that period.
I love global cuisine - from Japan to Hawaii, and I love to cook, but that\'s a tentacle for another story.
I can still smell what I often had with Mrs. Sharpe, my landlady - the main house was just across the garden.
Bacon cooked in lard, and then fried toast, and who can forget the English sausage (still love it).
Somehow don\'t remember the black pudding though.
Then on my million trips to London, always enjoyed the English sausage at the intercontinental, at Hyde Park.
Thnx for taking me there.

WOW UNCLE ANDY ~ Highbrow today WAGNER & The VALKARIES ~ awesome ! Loved it especially Den Grossen Frauen ! Im back from teh Field Trip ! We did have BLACK PUDDING with Full English @ the Hostel so there is a GOD. Loved the Poem its not the abundance of the things we have that makes us satisfied it is the ONE thing that is missing (in this case BP) that makes us SAD. That is a Principle in so many walks of life ~ and even to my mind there is a sense of \"incompletness\" in the 21st C ~ English Mustard ~ HP Sauce ~ Lump Sugar ~ Porrige ~ Leaf Tea ~ Suet Puddings ~ Thick Toast ~ Full Cream Milk & Tangerines that peel easily and taste sweet & Stoneless Dates in long thin Boxes @ Christmas. At 35 I must be getting middle-aged and nostalgic for the 20th C ! When I moved in Ultra Evangelical Circles (Open Bretheren) many of the Elders would not eat BLACK PUDDING because it contained BLOOD (Acts 15 v 29) !
Thanks for your POST it stirred memories of BP Butties in Liverpool !
Blessings & much JOY to You and JOYCE

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
Thanks UNCLE ANDY : for the EVERLY BROTHERS : they always melt this Girls Heart especially DREAM ! Because BRIAN & I are on the same wavelength : when we are apart \"All we have to do is Dream !\" BUT in a weeks time we will be \"TOGETHER AGAIN\" AMEN !
Dreams of Peace & Harmony are a BLESSING : Ive had them and so has BRIAN and Martin Luther King ! BRIAN was in the HOUSE of COMMONS (On Education Business) on the DAY OBAMA was inaugurated : He was in the Members TV Room with Tony Ben and others. He told me He asked some of them \"Does this mean MLK\'s Dream will be vindicated\" : they said maybe but only partially ! And then 8 years later The USA was TRUMPED by a Spoof President who wants to BLOCK OFF the Mexican Border (2000 miles) and flirts with the KKK ! The Great Late John Lennon had the ANSWER in \"Imagine\" & \"Give Peace a Chance\" : BRIAN & I have DREAMS : BUT as Christians we surely know \"There will be PEACE in the VALLEY some day : AMEN\"
Blessing Peace & Joy to Yourself & Joyce
