I have a personal story that I hope will illustrate how this particular name...

"Uprooted" -
Anne Linington(190) 
Zipping up my fleece, and pulling on my gloves, I headed down to the beach to take advantage of the welcome sunshine. I found myself looking ahead to days when a T-shirt and sandals would suffice, rather than todays' multi-layers. Two nights ago it had rained heavily, resulting in flooding...

When the Rope Holds -
Anne Linington(190) 
Dangling at the end of the rope, half-way up a rock-face, I was shaken by my fall, but confident in the knowledge that I was secure. The rope, fastened to the cliff above, and held by my invisible instructor, had held fast. There was no longer anything to fear because I had...

First Song and the "Singers" -
Marijo Phelps(198) 
My dust-covered legs ached. We had walked miles and miles with the throngs of others. Yet there was definitely more dust than people. Dust in our noses and mouths choking us as we traveled on.
She was in pain. Her right hand clutched to keep her upright. With her left hand, gripping her...

For Marli, Aimee and Paul (or any Childlike Adults) -
Marijo Phelps(198) 
I saw a massive lion
While on a walk today
With honey-brown eyes
Wind ruffled mane
And a tail of twitching sway
I stayed real quiet
While I watched her
With velvet paws
And hidden claws
Breeze dancing in her fur
Watching the movement of a lemon...

Patience and Sexual Purity - RR
Marijo Phelps(198) 
Oh, Lord Jesus, you know how I always was at Christmas, trying to find out surprises, overhearing conversations, sneaking around to rattle boxes or peek through papers. If mom and dad were gone I was known to pry open package ends and peek inside. Time was my enemy, as was waiting. Patience was...

Drowning, Almost Drowning that Summer -
Marijo Phelps(198) 
I looked at the chilling, blue water of the overcrowded pool and swallowed. The thought of the challenge I had just accepted, to swim across the deep part of the pool and back, overwhelmed me.
As I jumped in, I was aware of the constant buzzing of voices, pierced by an occasional shout of...

We Are Far From God -
revruc1
It is our extrication from the belief and customs of a loving God, which causes you and I to live the dust of life. We are all under sin, and humanity in its selfish state relies on Satan’s experience for existing. If we as Christians believe that paradise lie in an ever-loving God, what...

Life As It Is -
revruc1
Put in the picture me not, in doleful statistics, being is but an unfilled daydream, for the essence is lifeless that slumbers, and things are not, what they appear.
Being is true! Being is sincere! And the grave is not its aspiration, Dust we are, count it so, to dust we repeat...
