I thought I would try and put my creative juices to work with the help of dVerse. The theme there today is “Impermanence.”
I heard a sermon the other day
Nothing forever — everything fads away
Uncertainty, hate, they feed today!
The media wittingly know of hatred’s prey
Uncertainty is certainly within our life
Therefore better to avoid any strife
I heard a sermon the other day
An Old Adage inspired by FFE
***********
Jack and Jill, Jack be nimble,
Jack the Ripper, Jack-in-the-box the toy,
Playing jacks the game. Don’t forget, blackjack!
It is said that the name
“Jack,” in earlier times, used as
A general word for “boy.”
“Jack of all trades but master of none.”
A description is fitting many today
As we try this and that! Always searching!
Searching for that one talent,
To transcend all others.
Few of us have found it.
Suddenly a flash of 2Tim 3:7
“Ever learning, and never attaining
to the knowledge of the truth.”
A Little SATIRE here!
The left says children rot in cages
blind to the fact that children also
are yanked out of their mother’s womb; body parts sold.
If their parts are valuable to persons enjoying life, why are these children not considered humans? Would you want a monkey’s kidney, heart, or liver in the body of your loved one?
I take that back, since these days many don’t know if their offspring are male or female, perhaps soon, hmm! Did they give birth to a monkey or giraffe? Or better a parrot, the left is good at parroting.
Await the next fad/madness, “racist” is on it last. The future birth certificate will
read: Check one: gender; known or unknown, species; human or robot, all to be determined through the influence of our public education.
Soon the “racist” fad will be formally finished just waiting for CNN to tell us.
ALERT, flash, breaking news NOW! The word RACIST lost all its guts; now we know everyone is a racist.
Creating the edge of summer — Creative writing! Do It!
Edge the summer with pictures! Summer; for many their first, others they’re last. For most of us, it is another.
Summer comes then soon departs —
As the seamstress creates her gown adding fringe to her creation;
a keepsake for the years ahead.
Take a pen, paper and edge your summer with lace or shred, happiness with tears; lessons learned! The seasons God’s gift to us, His time clock.
“Nevertheless, he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.” Acts of Apostles 14;16

It is written so says the Lord, “vengeance is mine.”
Have you heard of this guy called Jeffrey Epstein?
Held there in New York State, love for children was his crime.
Bored he was sitting in his cell, nothing but sheets he whined.
Count my money; bring me a deal, he loudly opined.
Found guiltless; Watch! I always get my way! Wait, now, I’ll take that shot of wine.
It is written so says the Lord, “vengeance is mine.”
dVerse means poetry forms and this is my first attempt at what they are calling Dizain poetry. Try it! I did and it was a challenge to be sure.

This day leaves seemed contrived where art thou breeze?
Anchored tight clouds cling the sky blue setting
Swiftly in a flicker of time, a wheeze
What! A storm approaching — quite upsetting
Another grim moment unforgetting
But, wait we see the brightness of the sun
Our God is teasing us, having some fun
Making sure we know that He is still there
Believe it or not, He won’t be outdone
World again still where art thou breeze — nowhere!
My SYW POST for Share Your World
The questions with answers
Why do we seem to respect the dead more than the living?
I believe it is because after a person has died, we see all that was good in them, whatever deeds in life negative, forgotten.
The goal for all; to save our immortal souls, there is a life beyond this life! We respect the dead because we have hope that they died in God’s grace and have achieved their goal.
Why is beauty associated with morality? Or not?
Having physical beauty is a grave temptation, and especially today, many are weak and fall for the superficial comments they hear from others. A beautiful woman attracts attention, and often it is attention from the wrong person. Mothers train your daughters to be humble, modest, and ladylike.
Have gadgets and apps taken away emotions?
I think the emotions wrought from gadgets are different; they are there but not as genuine as natural emotions.
Is there a perfect life? What’s your version of an ideal experience if you care to share? A perfect life is doing the Will of God for that is the only possibility that will bring you happiness and peace of mind. Many will say; what is the Will of God? Begin with knowing the Ten Commandments and pray daily for the grace of discernment. “Ask, and you shall receive.” Most importantly, when we experience the failures, disappointments we should unite them with the life of Christ, that always helps.
The perfect life is if we save our soul, there is only one tragedy in life, that is when we lose our soul. If you put popularity ahead of God’s Will you are heading in the wrong direction, most of the time the majority is on the wrong side. Human respect is an evil.
“Human respect is excessive regard for the opinions or esteem of other men. … Concern for the opinion of others may lead one to act against moral principles and thus to do evil in order to gain the esteem of others.”
I am grateful always when I look back at my life, (now aged 79) my digresses straying away from God, offending Him, my mortal sins, still He kept me from dying in my sins. I was led out of my Faith, into a conciliar form of religion. Ecumenical in nature, forgetting the First Commandment, everything I learned was put on the back burner.
I am grateful I finally found my home again, the Traditional Faith.
Thank you SYW for the opportunity to share!
