I Wouldn't Call It Lemonade

I am pretty sure if you are reading this, you know the saying - "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." When I was a child, I didn't like lemonade. So, to me, making lemonade sounded like a really bad idea. Of course, I had no idea what the saying meant anyway. By the time I understood the old cliche, I didn't like it at all. My life had turned not only into lemons, but more like a bad dream I couldn't escape. It seemed everything I did was never good enough. I decided that my life had pulled a practical joke and filled those nasty lemons with smoke bombs, or something. But, whatever they were, I wouldn't call them lemons. I hated that saying with a passion. Then I became really good at making " lemonade ." I figured out how to serve the best side of me , so no one would ever suspect the volcano brewing inside. I have been making pretty decent liquid lemonade, too. In fact, I have come to realize that lemons are actually u...

There's a country song that echoes my thoughts for quite some time now. Everything that has ever been endured, has been done before, somehow, somewhere, sometime. Humanity has been around for a long time. Now that we can also sing and record our thoughts...

Or perhaps you have written poems and thoughts during your time of tragedy. But it's still so comforting to hear someone else struggling with the same things. We thrive on community.

The Chink in My Armour

I don't look anything like this beautiful warrior, nevertheless, I am a soldier. There are many reasons I am a fighter, for I am part of a war.  A war is going on around us, even as we sit quietly to read the morning paper. The unseen battle rages day after day, with innumerable ranks in combat, in the conflict of the ages. The war between good and evil. We must keep our eyes open and our swords sharp. The only way to ensure our safety in this struggle, is to be in constant communication with the Commander-in-Chief. The strategy is well laid out in the Word of God. We even have a suit of armor, built in the best armory ever. The complete soldier's protection is given to us, piece by piece. The Belt of Truth:    Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."  - John 14:6 The Breastplate of Righteousness: For God's Kingdom is not a matter of eating and...
