"I've been here before and I deserve a little more."

Pooh Corner

"This is the first verse," he said to Piglet, when he was ready with it.

"First verse of what?"

"My song."

"What song?"

"This one."

"Which one?"

"Well, if you listen, Piglet, you'll hear it."

"How do you know I'm not listening?"

Pooh Corner

"Hallo, Piglet," said Pooh.

"Hallo, Pooh," said Piglet, giving a jump of surprise. "I knew it was you."

"So did I," said Pooh.

Leaving Me

So far down,
I can't see below.
My head is a sesspool of thoughts;
Can't see past the darkness.
Pain surrounds my heart,
My soul aches for light...
Where has it gone?

-Jackee

RUSH

Cascading Thoughts
Descending Below
Dropping, Falling
Here I go...
Sliding, Slipping
Quickly They Flow

-Jackee

Job 3:20-21, 25

"Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me."

Love

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." -Robert Heinlein

Psalms 31:9-10, 12, 14-16, 24

"Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eyes are consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemy, and from them that persecute me.
Make thy face to shine upon they servant: save me for they mercies' sake."

"Be of good courage, and he shall strenthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord."

Pooh Corner

Pooh went to the larder; and he stood on a chair, and took down a very large jar of honey from the top shelf. It had HUNNY written on it, but, just to make sure...he put his tongue in, and took a large lick.

Psalms 119:143

"Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights."

I LOVE THIS

"Sometimes we get caught in squalls and storms and things don't do the way we think they should, even when we think we have done right. But God can find us in the eye of the storm and give us courage to swim in rough waters. We learn lessons from storms that we cannot learn from calm seas." -John H. Groberg

Negatives

"Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed." -John Pritchard

Faith

"Where doubt and uncertainty are, there, faith is not, nor can it be. For doubt and faith do not exist in the same person at the same time." -Joseph Smith
