| For anyone not busy today, I'm having a micro contest. The prompt is: "My eyes are screaming tears." Your poem should be no longer than 16 lines. The deadline is today, Saturday November 8 at 5pm EST. The prize is a Merit Badge of your choosing. |
Amethyst Angel ♡  - This piece is exactly what I was looking for. How eloquent your words, and the juxtoposition is fantastic. Excellent. Congrats. Which badge do you want? Crissy |
Crissy - I'm open to any I don't have yet  You can find those by going to a person's Community tab, then Merit Badges (#### here), "Checklist" in the upper right corner, "Needed Badges," then do a page search for the words "give it!" I hope that isn't too confusing   Thank you so much for this, it was a lovely challenge  |
| Amethyst Angel ♡ - i was just reading this again, and it occurred to me that you have more talent than i originally thought. "I hold on tight to hope's dim light..." beautiful |
| Is stealing jobs legal if the employee has signed a contract with the government? |
Spiritual Dawning  - I'm not used to involving myself in the chaos that is American politics. But a curiosity for the fairness of government employees is a matter of humanism. I think if they entered into a contract for a government job, then our leaders must give their jobs back. |
☘️ Richard ☘️  - I was thinking of existing contracts. Like labor and teacher unions. Federal employees, even congress members were elected through conventional elections. That's a contract between the congress members and the constituents who elected them. It's (if nothing else) a verbal contract. |

| Are we really that different from one another? I mean DNA is God's unique identifier for us, and we have individual goals and dreams, but we all need love. We all need hugs. Let's start the Kindness Initiative in our lives. Will you hold a door, or get something from the top shelf? Every good thing comes from above. Kindness is a fruit of the Spirit. Each good thing we do will cost something. Time. Effort. Money. Do you have a little to spare? September has an awareness campaign for suicide awareness. People commit suicide because of bullies many times. Spread kindness to counteract the hate. Hope is born when kindness is introduced. I mean, really sit with yourself and ask if you are kind to people, family and strangers alike. |
I would love any feedback. I know I need to edit for setting and details.

| My creativity has decided to set out a blanket under the big oak tree, so I'm allowing logic to take over. I'm dipping my toes in the cryptocurrency market. Even just staking your money, which is funding, can earn you up to 14 percent. https://coinbase.com/join/BTKUPCA?src=android-link |

| Our peace is growing wild. Our strength is ever rising, tender love that we have gained. Gentle dew upon our souls like gold gathered from rain. Use the foregoing verse in a poem of 21 lines or fewer. I'll give 10,000 gift points or a Merit Badge to the best entry. Post your entry here, in my notebook. |
| Our peace is growing wild, today, exciting in its rest. Unhindered grace through faith to say, “Our lives are fully blest.” Our strength is ever rising, now. In tender love we’ve gained some ground. The hope we have, we know not how, but what’s been given, here it’s found. The gentle dew upon our souls, like gold that’s gathered from the rain. The life of peace that makes us whole prepares us for God’s Home to reign. by Jay O’Toole on June 14, 2025 |
