A dash of sugar a sprinkle of spice make most of Life seem nice. A ray of light breaks thru gray an array of color displayed. Droplets of moister gathered to lather strands of her crown that match the gown. Tidbits and nuggets of laughter in pouring rain. Knowing-feeling-caring-shouting-singing-crying.Up! Down! Round to round ,nothing like a merry go around! Seeing,hearing,fighting,bit ing.This hill of beans can snip n snap,cause maybe I'll just clap,slap,laugh and do a stomp:) Tear filled eyes draining sorrow,reaching depths.Remembering where The Colors of Promises are kept in check.-The Everlasting Arm always stretched out just waiting for me to lean awhile. ...Pray for another that they may be healed.The effective prayer of the righteous avails much.

I never knew Sierah, but have been following her death on the news. I cannot imagine how you feel. Losing a daughter in one thing, but that way...They should burn him at the stake. I lost my 12 year old daughter 46 years ago and I know the heartache. Just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers and I just pray that God will get you through all of this. He is in control and will see you through it. My Deepest Sympathy!
