Joanna's Challebge (Short Story) - 12/17/2018 9:30:22 AM
A mother is probably the hardest person to fool. I don't see how change in the form of coin could be hidden in the pages of the books. Of course, paper money could.
Reminds me of my brief encounter with smoking and accidentally setting fires at seven. But it was the police, not my mother, that found me out.

Joanna probably soon realized what money can't buy--true friendship and above all--respect.
Who Need Trees? (Article) - 12/17/2018 9:52:28 AM
A well-written article that thoroughly covers the wonder that trees are. The only improvement would've been a few notes as to the sources of some of the factual information provided. If you lifted phrases or whole paragraphs from scientific or reference materials, they should be noted to avoid plagiarism.
I recently regretted cutting down a massive 60 foot tall sweetgum tree that I planted from a single leaf 34 years ago. The tree was healthy, but its roots were destroying the foundation of my garage, its limbs were becoming a great danger of falling during a hurricane we often get and its leaves required a massive cleanup job every fall.
We must come up with a way to stop cutting down trees or the planet will retaliate.

Thank you Ayon for these positive poetic words of encouragement!
The Lord knows your heart. He is well pleased, I am sure.
With Him, we can do anything. Without Him we drift without direction.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen

"Rivers of praises, adoration, and gratitude unending."
Well sorted words unto God, may He glorify Himself in all His creations!

Shine on! Especially like this: "Now wait till you see what I will be,
When turned upside-down; my face to the Son."

So sad, so true, life must begin again, when - in the future. I like this poem very much, tells the truth about breaking up too.

A beautiful analogy of how even the empty shell of love can be attractive and shine again.
