    Lord take this cup away from me....
    "I can't son, it belongs to you"
    But Lord this cup is too much for me to bear!
    "You can handle it, Jesus drank from the cup"
    But Lord I aint Jesus!
    "But He lives in YOU!"
    But Lord I am weak!
    "His strength works best when you’re weak"
    But Lord have you seen what's in my cup?
    "Yeah I know I put it in there!"
    But Lord there is sickness in my cup!
    "And I called you to heal"
    But Lord there is confusion in my cup!
    "And I called you to teach"
    But Lord there is pain in my cup!
    "And I called you spread my Word"
    But Lord why do I have to drink THIS cup?
    ”Because I want you to act like my Son!”
    Last question Lord....Does everyone have to drink this cup?
    "Everyone has to taste their reality"

    Suffering from Sarcoidosis for over 10 years hasn't been easy. I have been so depressed at times I have wanted to kill myself, but the Lord has shown me a new way to deal with the pain, I don't take pain meds because I have a fear of addiction and I like to keep my mind clear. I use my pain as a motivator, I wake up in the morning and I talk to my pain, I get in my pain's "face" and I get up and minister to people in worst shape than me every day....I couldn't do this without the Lord's help! Jesus is my example, in the garden of Gethsemane Jesus struggled too...but the way He overcame was by accepting His destiny and obeying the Father.

    Hi Novel Girl and thanks for adding me as a friend. I write lovely poems and if you like this one below maybe you will consider adding my two books on your shelf. If not you can comment about this poem at http://alejabennett.com

    I Love you

    I love you to the moon
    I love you to the end of the planets.
    I love you till there's no love in the equator,
    I love you knowing nothing could be greater,
    I will love you from now until decades later.
    Let me love you now, not later.
    Let me love you to
    Northern skies,
    Western hemispheres,
    Without worries, fears or cares.
    Allow me to love you,
    Until you care, blossom up,
    Open up-heal from old wounds
    that you suddenly, slowly start to share.
    Our love is genuine-it can't compare.
    Now your love has opened up wide
    Like a brand new gift on Christmas day
    See what happens when you allow
    Someone to love you.

    NEW EXTENDED VERSION OF Secrets of a Kept Woman by Shani Greene-Dowdell is available now.

    They say, truth shall set you free. Hmmm, well...

    Shayla, Rhonda and Gladys have been best friends since high school. Thicker than thieves, they have shared a lot over the years and it is their loving bond that has kept their tattered spirits alive. These ladies use their strong sisterly bond to coach each other back to sanity daily.Shayla Wilson is married one of the most influential players in the east Alabama drug ring. Though her lifestyle is lavish, she's unhappy in her marriage and dealing with her fly-by-night husband, Titus. An unexpected visitor at her doorstep might give her more than she asked for and she won't be sure if she can say no. Gladys LaQuinn has had it up to her neck with her cheating husband and after deciding to throw caution to the wind and go away for a weekend vacation...alone, a run in with her ex could be the life and death of her spirit. The way he awakens her mind, body, and soul leaves her with a lot to consider. Rhonda Jackson has lived beneath Shayla's wings for years, from being the second best majorette in high school, to the last chosen by men, to being an underrated data entry clerk by profession. She is unfulfilled, envious, and feels inadequate, but most of all she is struggling with a secret that will no doubt rock the very foundation this trio was built on.

    Every friendship is just one dark secret away from shattering it into a thousand pieces. They say the truth shall set you free -- but will it?

    Hello Ms Washington, I received my new cd Another Love on 8/10/09. I tried to pace myself, but this was a wonderful book. I finish listen to mine today. Hated that the story end all too soon.
    I would like to thank you for this new family. I just know you are going to continue the series with this new family. I will buy my copy. Will Kimar's sister, brother and dad have love interest as well. Thanks again

    Hi, Ms. Washington...just had to give a shout and tell you how much I enjoyed your audio book "Another Love"...enjoyed it so much I DID NOT want it to end...I was thoroughly CAUGHT UP in the chemistry between Kedra and Kimar...and even though Kimar came off as arrogant and quite overbearing at times...you could still see that despite those "flaws" he ONLY wanted what he thought was best for Kedra...he was definitely a smooth operator...and Kedra showed she was NO damsel and distress and stood toe-toe with this MAGNIFICENT man...I hope you plan to do a sequel because I just have to know what will happen with the rest of this VIVID and memorable cast of characters...KUDOS :-)

    The Ancient One says

    Listen to Stories . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ernest Kurtz, The Spirituality of Imperfection, p. 63

    "Yet again, an ancient answer echoes across the centuries: Listen! Listen to stories! For what stories do, above all else, is hold up a mirror so that we can see ourselves. Stories are mirrors of human be–ing, reflecting back our very essence. In a story, we come to know precisely the both/and, mixed-upped-ness of our very being. In the mirror of another’s story, we can discover our tragedy and our comedy—and therefore our very human-ness, the ambiguity and incongruity, that lie at the core of the human condition."

    Here is a blurb about my new book—ON THE CREST. Comments welcome: Tige Anderson goes through a series of emotional, physical and psychological adventures in this coming-of-age roller coaster, balancing his life among his romantic trysts, his ambitions, his humanity and his gay best friend. The one thread that connects all of the people in his life is the fact that the cycle of life puts everyone through a series of ups (‘on the crest’) and downs. Whether an individual winds up on top of the wave or under it depends on them.

    Prologue:

    [A mind full of shadows which form long, dark points that pierce the heart through and bring to consciousness the fierce pain of reality. Hooded specters that travel through space and time gathering up pieces of memory and bringing them together to form one melted block of pain and pleasure called the past.

    Were it possible to disintegrate as happens to dreams and tender moments. As powerful as these dreams and tender moments seemed at their inception, we come to realize that they are made of invisible particles of nothingness. Were it possible to just vanish like hopes made of tiny particles of nothing so would I be free of reality. And in that vanishing, would I finally be able to find peace.]

    Those thoughts flooded Tige’s mind as he sat and watched the pointed shadows caused by the brand-new-morning sun crawl across the floor in front of him. He had been all alone in the solarium since the middle of the night awaiting the sunrise as he did on many nights since he was put into that place. It was his favorite time of day. Anymore, each minute of the day was filled with painful recollection and doubt except for this brief, fleeting moment. It was a time, it seemed, that the earth, like him, was confused. It brought him solace to think that at this very moment, the entire universe, or so it seemed, was in a state of doubt and he was not alone. It was the time when day was pushing back night, eliminating the last vestiges of darkness to assume domination and live out its brief lifetime before dying and willing its realm to its brother called ‘tomorrow’. It was a time of starting over, of another chance. Days rolled in one after the other like the waves at the beach. It made one think that no matter how tragic the events that occurred in one solar period, there was always another; there was always another wave.

    Tige sat in his robe and pajamas on one of the couches in the solarium watching the morning sun get stronger, watching the streams of light come through the bars on the windows, hoping that the attendant would not yet realize that he was not in his room, which was where he should have been until breakfast which was still two hours away. He had done this so many times in the past but he was never discouraged from continuing to enjoy his moment of peace, but rather would endure the lectures from the staff about how everyone there must obey the rules so that all there could accomplish what they came there for.

    The reward that he got from this solitude was worth any reprimand which may have followed from the staff. He knew that his time remaining there was brief and he could continue this practice somewhere else. This was his time to savor the self-induced, companion-until-death torment brought about by events which had happened before and could not be changed. This was his time to not only enjoy the companionship of hope for tomorrow, but also to flog himself with memories and guilt for things that he had been instrumental in bringing to existence. He had to torture himself for what he had done or for what he had not done. With an almost painful enjoyment, Tige watched the single line of gray smoke from his cigarette and recalled the days past. He watched the ashes fall off like expended days gone by. He watched the orange line of fire racing toward its end.

    Again, comments welcome.
    The book can be purchased at barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, authorhouse.com and many more sites. Thank you. Tony Carmine.
