I enjoy both reading and writing. Generally, I prefer to read something that will help me grow--maybe I can be a little bit more mature tomorrow than I was yesterday.

    The Ancient One says

    Cherry-Time

    Cherries of the night are riper
    Than the cherries pluckt at noon
    Gather to your fairy piper
    When he pipes his magic tune:
    Merry merry,
    Take a cherry;
    Mine are sounder,
    Mine are rounder,
    Mine are sweeter
    For the eater
    Under the moon,
    And you'll be fairies soon.

    In the cherry pluckt at night,
    With the dew of summer swelling,
    There's a juice of pure delight,
    Cool, dark, sweet, devinely smelling.

    Merry merry,
    Mine are sounder,
    Mine are rounder,
    Mine are sweeter
    For the eater
    In the moonlight,
    And you'll be fairies quite.

    When I sound the fairy call.
    Gather here in silent meeting,
    Chin to knee on the orchard wall,
    Cooled with dew and cherries eating.

    Merry merry,
    Mine are sounder,
    Mine are rounder,
    Mine are sweeter,,
    For the eater
    When the dews fall.
    And you'll be fairies all.

    Hi, Verna. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view, a little controversial at times. It’s a story that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. A “must read” for those on a spiritual quest. You can read reviews at Amazon.com. I’m including here the publisher's notes. Let me know what you think.


    Book Description:
    In 70 A.D., a father and daughter risk their lives traveling through a war torn, Galilean countryside on a mission to reach Jerusalem, a fascinating journey that will change their destinies forever. Caleb, an elderly Jew, leaves the safety of his home in Cana on a mission to find a man he believes is in Jerusalem. Miriam, Caleb's only remaining child, accompanies him disguised as a boy. In the desolation of the war struck Galilean countryside, father and daughter risk their lives to journey south on the Jordan River trail. As they walk, Caleb intrigues Miriam with a captivating story of his youth that will change her future destiny. A story of a time forty years prior when he became a sandal maker in order to observe a man some called the Miracle Worker. Caleb secretly kept notes of the events he saw and heard as he followed the crowds. With his objective, skeptical point of view, he reveals the fascinating ministry of the one he called the "Master." Heart pounding perils and the threat of death endanger the two travelers, but nothing could foretell the fate awaiting them in Jerusalem!

    From the Publisher
    A. Michaelson's new novel, The Sandal Maker, takes the reader on a fascinating journey back to the year 70 A.D. in worn torn Palestine. The author creatively weaves two stories together, one in the present, the other in the past. Heartwarming, enlightening and tragic, The Sandal Maker paints a portrait of one man's life and his involvement in how the gospel came to be.

  • Soror (say:

    Soror (say: "Laa-ilaaha-illallah") says

    I worship the creator alone and he had no son

    Holy Quran:

    [112:1]
    "Say: He is Allah, the One!
    [112:2]
    Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
    [112:3]
    He begetteth not nor was begotten.
    [112:4]
    And there is none comparable unto Him."

    I do not believe people are free to worship what ever they like yes are free from one side that Allah the creator won't prevent them from worshiping what ever they like but are not free from an other side is that Allah the creator won't accept any worship from his creation to other than himself so any one worship other than Allah would be lost and would have no place with Allah on the other life

    Soror (say: "Laa-ilaaha-illallah") says

    Allah says : Seest thou not that Allah doth know (all) that is in the heavens and on earth? There is not a secret consultation between three, but He makes the fourth among them, - Nor between five but He makes the sixth,- nor between fewer nor more, but He is in their midst, wheresoever they be: In the end will He tell them the truth of their conduct, on the Day of Judgment. For Allah has full knowledge of all things

    I know what you mean about a cooking family. Mine was too and it shows. Lots of grease, butter and bread. But I still love to cook.
