To All Of The Dads Out There,

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.

 

**********************************************************

 

 Welcome to Our World In Poetry.  I hope you enjoy your visit.  More than that, I hope that you will see "Our World" and "Poetry" in a different perspective. All of the poetry on this site is written by JerriFaye Thomason, that would be me...  As you will see this site is dedicated to Our World & Poetry.  Very little of the poetry will be of a personal nature.  Although, there will be a few poems that make it on here.  There are poems that tug at my heart and those will most certainly make their debut.  Okay then, here we go.  Why don't you get a cup of coffee.  I feel the need for a Mountain Dew myself. 

 Enjoy!

~Me~


*************************************************
  I absolutly hate this new program WEBSITE TONIGHT.  GoDaddy.com tells you how much better this program is than Website Complete was.  To everyone out there that still has Website Complete, "KEEP IT!!!"  Website Tonight is a nightmare.  Once you loose WSC there is no getting it back.  The worst part of websie tonight is that the pages moves.  All of your words can and do shift to the left side of the page.  If your hands shake at all then you need to know about this.  How Bob Parsons can have his employees push a product like this is nuts.  I tried to email Mr. Parsons but could not find his address.  I did find several blogs connected to his name.  I did think about leaving a note or two and opted not to.  I asked to talk with him and of course that was a joke.  I asked to talk to his secretary, that was not allowed.  So being me, I asked to be connected to his secretary's secretary...  That just earned a laugh.  I have to say everyone I talked to was very kind and good hearted with all of my requests.  He does hire good people.  And I have to admit that I may have enjoyed some of it...  However, there are some real issues that should be addressed in website tonight.  Progress for the majority is not always progrress for all.  Bob Parsons is not the only man/company that assumes this to be true.  I would like to enlighten him and many others.  I miss my WEBSITE COMPLETE.

I'll be back on in a few days.  I have more pages to work on.  But for now, I am going to sit and watch some TV.  It's good to be back.

Later,

~Me~

  Thank You Jesus,

Thank You Jesus for “The Old Rugged Cross,”
For all You’ve give us ~ And for those we’ve lost,
Thank You for staying and not walking away,
For hearing our words as we pray,
Thank You for wearing the “Crown of Thorns,”
For baring the pain ~ Our sins ~ You mourned,
Thank You for the spikes in Your Feet and Hands,
For telling Your Father ~ They don’t understand,
Thank You sometimes goes unsaid,
Yet, You forgive ~ And love instead,
Thank You for the spear in Your side,
For the blood You spilt ~ When crucified,
Thank You Jesus ~ For today and tomorrow,
For the happiness now ~ And then for the sorrow.

Amen

 
      Note:

I went and read a medical review on a step by step detail of the crucifixion. Then he, Dr. C. Truman Davis, told how each wound and the crucifixion itself affected Jesus’ body. You can read his article by clicking on this link: http://www.konnections.com/Kcundick/crucifix.html. The picture of Jesus also came from this site. 

 ~~~ 

Really, thanks for coming in and reading His words.  He just allows me to put them on paper.  For that, I am grateful.  I realize that these poems are not religious, but they all let us know that He is here.  He may be silent ~ But, He is not gone.  God has given us so very much and for the most part we ignore and neglect His words.  It may be time for us to look around at "Our World" and realize that we are in trouble.  
He is here ~ He does see ~ He does listen ~ 
~ Silence does not equal gone ~
~ Silence equals free will ~
~ Dialog is the answer ~
~ He Is The Way ~
~ So Pray ~
~~~
