    ![Created by the talented [Link To User poulynoe]](https://www.writing.com/main/images/action/display/ver/1595185357/item_id/2227277.gif "Take up Your Cross image 5 [#2227277]
Created by the talented [Link To User poulynoe]") Prompt: Psalm 15:2-5 says "Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking truth from sincere hearts, those who refuse to gossip, or harm their neighbors, or speak evil of their friends. Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the Lord, and keep their promises even when it hurts, Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever.Can anybody do these things? If so how? If not, why not? I believe what Jesus said. "All things are possible with God." Matthew 19:26 I also believe Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Sure I have times that I get into the flesh and when I do I usually screw up. I repent and turn it back over to God. "Prompt: “Whenever a poem enacts what it is about, it creates a way for itself to live dramatically inside the reader. It becomes an experience unto itself.”Edward Hirsh, from the book How to Read a Poem, page 45. Do you agree and if so, which kinds of poems leave the same or similar effect inside you?" Rhyme and meter or smooth flowing free verse always did that to me. If I have to stop and catch a breath or go back and pick up a word it throws the flow off. I like good flow in poetry. "Prompt: "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”― Mahatma Gandhi Use this quote to inspire your blog entry." No, it isn't dirty but it's polluted. I wouldn't want to and try not to eat from it. Today I feel like I've eaten from it. I've been sick to my stomach for a month. I think it's allergies causing post-nasal drip. That makes anybody sick. Gandhi does have a point though. Just because there are a few bad fish in the ocean doesn't mean they're all sharks. There are sharks though so one must be careful.   Prompt: I was cruising the universe and found this star lezismore-moreislez   Planet:
The waves continue their endless cycle and crash upon the seashore. Write about this in your Blog entry today and be sure to read the above item. I could just see the little Labrador Retriever puppy chasing the ball into the sea and getting tumbled onto the shore! This was quite cute. I have never been to the ocean but going there is on my bucket list. I will graduate from Regent University in May of 2023 with a Master of Divinity degree. I'm hoping to go see the university which is in Virginia Beach one day. I don't know that I will, but that's my goal and I usually obtain my goals.     |
