A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence: he�s allowed to say two words every seven years.
After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. "Cold floors," he says. They nod and send him away.
Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. He clears his throats and says, "Bad food." They nod and send him away.
Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. "I quit," he says. "That�s not surprising," the elders say. "You�ve done nothing but complain since you got here."
What's Your Favorite Scripture That You Hold Dear Too Your Heart?

Habakkuk 2:20 - But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Like Jackie... one of my favorites is Romans 8:38,39 - For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Revelation 21:4 - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 22:17 - And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Ooooh!! no...... no, no, no..... no, no, no, and no!!!!
Miss Browneyes... I want to cook alone ... or with a girl as a partner, but ... Edw has to cook faaaaar from me his own plate.... Otherwise.... I would be the whole time hitting on his hands "do not touch this Edw," "Do not touch that boy", etc .... :goofball:
If I.... could cook for all of you, my friends I would do a different plate for each one ... you have to fill a form out :rolleyes:: with your choice... only one plate per person please!!!
If I ... could feed you all... well, I would sit with you all in a flowered prairie and we would study the most beautiful love's story of all times... The Gospel of John... manna from heaven for us...
Edw...!!!!! why have you sit on those flowers!!! ? Ay, ay, ay!!!! :rolleyes:
If I ... had to resign of being loved "down" here to be able to sit at your feet ... I would resign... and yet I would trust that You will do the miracle for me/ for us... because You are �The Love�� and you know how much I / we need to understand, receive and give love!!!
"Father... You, the One in Perfection... You are Who is doing all these miracles� these little, insignificant, scorned miracles... which are being linked to a string of letters� which are linking some of your children to a chain of love in the avid search of Your Presence... children of Yours that don't even know each other... Aren't you amazing!!!!! "
When the time to get away arrive� that love that was planted here will continue in our hearts like a perfect pearl ... AND WE WILL THANK YOU...
And every time we remember these miracles� we will smile with joy ... maybe being a part of another string � maybe in the sweet privacy of only two... AND WE WILL PRAISE YOUR NAME...
Anyway, at the end, when You close the gap of "the time" ... we'll all be tied to the unbroken chain of LOVE that never ends� AND WE WILL WORSHIP YOU IN YOUR PRESENCE....
Ohhhhh!!!!! this is another thread which started with just few letters and became a torrent of poetry !!!!
Jude, Arch and Grace... remember that one which started with that "b"?...
Browneyes... sweet girl... I am in!!! I can cook too, for you all taste my home made black beans... :peace: Dreaming is free... let's dream!!!
Edw... thanks for that poem... Uy!!! a poet hidden behind those pictures!!!.... honestly, boy, your photos are perfect... and you have shown your inner quality here for quite a while!!
