The world is a testing site for human behavior. Good or bad it is what it is until the next shift takes place. Learn as you go but there will be growing pains. Nicely done Jacob.

Sometimes we don't grow enough, and with an impossible race we overlook the true meaning of life and make everything sour in the process. Then our own life becomes a crossword puzzle to solve. But with the words rain, reign I can sense someone who never grew enough.

Had a Jesus feel about this J and he did have a track and feel sort of life. Maybe it's the festive season.

I do hope we have reason to be festive...
thank you, andrew,

When I only weighed 100 pounds, I would
climb in my Baby Son’s Crib and shelter him from his bad dreams. Now he has Babies of his own.... and so it goes. gently, Pat

Does he climb into his baby's crib?
Sheltering is what parents do...
and maybe when we get old, they will shelter us.
