I was intrigued by the link to this item in the April 28 Spiritual Newsletter. The first section on the Bible is well-thought out and well-put. I also agree with the assertion that those who would discourage use of this great book want to pick it apart literally rather than to take it within the context in which it was written.
After the original question, you print responses from others on the opinion and other things. I believe you had also written (yourself) a response to one of them. However, it was hard to tell. After the original piece there was denigration of quality in both writing and spelling. In the part I believe to be yours, the emotion was so intense, simple misspellings and assorted typos slipped through. The "apparent" response to you were filled with typos and grammar errors as well as a need to demarcate the paragraph structure with spacing.
My first thought would be to relegate the balance of the piece (beyond the original) to a separate document.

Just so you know I am not stalking you Kenzie, I found the link to this item in the April 21 Spiritual Newsletter. You have been popular in the newsletters of late and I can see why.
I adored this musing. It is amazing how much truth and release we Christians find in the mundane! However, I would like to see you flesh out your conclusion a little further in relation to the encompassing of the types of laces. Having been sick for almost a month, feeling pretty useless and tired as I do too much and have to step backwards again, even as a child of God, I gotta be looking like one of the other two pairs in your musings! Just a thought!
Thanks for the lift!

I found the link to this item in the April 13 Spiritual Newsletter. I keep running into this writer's items and as a Christian, I find that comforting!
I have to also agree with her perception that God proves himself over and over. He is a product that sells himself to an open mind. Thelma Wells, one of the speakers on the Women of Faith team, extolls her conviction that God is God based on the observation of a bumblebee. Aerodynamically (and I researched it scientifically after I heard her speak the first time), a bumble bees bodyweight and construction in relation to the tiny assignment of its wings should never be able to get off the ground. Yet, to be sure, they are flying around my honeysuckle every summer!
I would point out an error that caught my eye in that the below phrase:
"how I could knew" ,
would read better as "how I could know."
Thank you for sharing your view!

This nails it in one! I am laughing. It also makes me wonder if people who have issues with anger and impatience could attribute their problems to the advent of answering services!

For 2-1/2 years I have wrestled with rating my content. I am glad to realize the reference is there for the reading. I found the link to it in the April 13 Noticing Newbies Newsletter.
Even after two years, I am not always sure I have it right. When I read one that isn't right, I am not sure to comment on it in a public review. (It happened the other day.)
I am going to study this piece more carefully. If anyone thinks this newsletter can't speak to anyone but Newbies, they need to reconsider.
I found the link to this poem in the Spiritual Newsletter you credit at the end of your poem.
I loved the analogies you used in the poem of patience, giving it a face, so to speak. Years ago, I always aspired to the prayer, "Lord grant me patience...but I WANT it RIGHT NOW!" I am learning (still) that God's time is not my time and His time is worth waiting for!
Thank you for sharing!

I found the link to this item in the April 7 Noticing Newbies Newsletter.
I heard a speaker on dysfunction once say that "a child has perfect perception until we adults dump on and distort it." He was pointing out the behavior of a two-year-old at a family reunion starting toward a relative then backing away. If someone redirects him and places him on the relatives lap against the child's will and he screams bloody murder, rather than being embarrassed for ourselves, we should realize that "perhaps the child knows something about Uncle so-and-so that is blocked or hidden from our adult instincts." This is what I was thinking about as you wrote about our perspectives being pounded into us.

I found the link to this poem in the March 31 Spiritual Newsletter. Your "non title" intrigued me and from the first stanza you had me. It is a complicated poem. Not in structure, but in the realities and dualities of the prayer.
I really enjoyed this. If the structure is lacking in anyway, perhaps someone else will see that. I was focused on the poem!
Being an editorial opinion columnist, my words weren't as delicate, but we both pushed the same point. I love the poem lead-in to a very important subject!!
I found the link to this in the March 31 Spiritual Newsletter. It is both touching and realistic. Bravo!!
I found the link to this poem in the March 31 Spiritual Newsletter.
I love the content and direction of this poem. That being said, I felt it could use the established rhythm of the first stanza. Most of the stanzas kept to it, I really only got tongue-stumbled with the "Now let me engulf..." line. There are two uncapitalized "i's" in the first stanza.

It contains wonderful, truthful information on religions.
It was a bit dry and could use a bit of tightening. (Tightening - getting the maximum effect with a minimum of words.) For instance, I was tickled when you started to talk about Jesus' sense of humor. But their was no analogy of the kind of humor. A great many people don't see his humor and an analogy would make them look for other instances.
I will turn 50 in July. This piece touched my heart. Having found out about our UM heritage helped me to see the women you were talking about as I saw something of each of them in the women that have touched my life in all my years. I felt a kinship.
My "Invalid Item" is about such a woman. I have sent it to the publication, Weavings for consideration to it is blocked. If you would like the password, I would be happy to provide it.
I don't know if you went to church camp, but my story on that is encompassed in my "Invalid Item" . It was a pleasure to return the favor of your visit to my port!!
I found the link to this item in the March 31 Noticing Newbies Newsletter. I notice since that date you have congratulations coming for reaching Preferred Author's status with your yellow case.
Congratulations!
That aside, this is a wonderful poem. In its irregularity, it is intriguing and trends to a rhythm that fits with the story it tells.
I absolutely loved the imagery you provided and the folksyness that stood me on the bank of the river as well.
I found the link to this poem in the March 24 Spiritual Newsletter.
When I was in high school, I wrote a great deal of poetry. As a matter of fact, it was almost all I wrote, but I was never comfortable enough with rhythm and rhyme. This one just rolls with both!
Thank you Ms Kimmie for a wealth of information in an easy-to-read format!! I was running through this week's Authors Newsletter and found the link. Just when I was looking for something on this expertise!
I found the link to this piece in the March 10 Noticing Newbies Newsletter.
If my brother had not died before my dad, I would have sworn I was reading his writing. I use to go to watch my brother's Little League practice and games. Your dad sounded a lot like mine did.
Goodbyes are never something we humans get good at, even given a chance. I could feel how much you loved yours!
