A ship in the sea of life
riding each wave of life
seeking the warm sun of each day
the beauty of each dream as night falls
is never lost
as it heads toward the curve
of each horizon.
Storms will blow
onward do we flow
in love and courage
by His hand.
Tomorrow brings the knowing in His love
the vastness of the ocean
is not so alone.
As long as we believe
we will never be alone
for His love
surpasses all of this
this and time beyond
this brief sea of life.

You can tell a lot about a person
in how they treat their dog.
I have hear that dog
cry out for her master
many a day
and nights.
She is about fifteen now.
She has endured tempertures in the teens
while being left outdoors.
She has swellered in heat above 100
while being left outdoors.
An electronic fence guards her escape from this prison.
The fence is in the front of the house
no less.
Many a morning does the smell of her poop
fill the air of their neighbor’s yard.
Her Master has been featured
in a well-known community magazine
hugging this dog no less.
You sure can tell a lot about a person
in how they really treat their dog.

Reach Out
Give some part of yourself to make their day a day filled with less pain. Love goes beyond just words in our daily life. We need to give beyond ourselves.Reach Out
Give a part of yourself. You will only become more human in your caring and giving.Reach Out
You too have felt the pain of loneliness and deep blackness. Love came to you in blessings you never thought would be. They came to you.Reach Out
Remember to share your fortune. We are one that is the soul of all of us."Often, I Think Of You" copyright 2005 John J. Rigo "Rainbows Amidst Storms"

“All Joys Lead to Him”
Among these is finding the greatest of joys of life.
When we look to others to bring us that joy
we will always find disappointment with our lives.
The light of true happiness is within our own selves.
It is shared and nurtured by only one Being
and that is our Lord and Savior.
Do not look to your fair weather friends
or those who claim to love you.
They will only bring you sadness and disappointment.
Perfection in Love and Friendship is only found in God.
Seek Him, Love Him, and Worship Him each day of your life.
In so doing will you finally find
the joys of eternity
that are just before you.
