My friend and churchmate Nilda sent this to me via e-mail.

SOMETHING TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY!

God is crazy about you.
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He listens.
He can live anywhere in the universe, yet
He chooses your heart.
Face it, friend-He is crazy about you!

PASS IT ON ... to brighten up someone else's day.

SUMMER 2002

Surprise, son of Sheba
October 1985-June 2002

I buried our household cat, Surprise, this month.
He was born October 1985 in the house, after my sister
went out of town for a job and left her cat Sheba with us--
and no one knew Sheba was pregnant!

Well, I'm on the eve of what looks like 
my final semester at Queens College.
My thesis semester.  I'm writing a musical play,
lyrics and libretto.  Even a few tunes.

After I graduate, can anyone suggest some good jobs
for a person with a Masters Degree in English-Creative Writing?

A great movie for Lent (or anytime) is 
Chocolat (2000)
about a French chocolatier who feels compelled,
in 1959 provincial France, to open her chocolate shop
during Lent?  Why couldn't she wait?
Because her actions expose the true sins of that community--
bigotry, compromise, even violence.
And what better time to face up to your hidden faults
than Lent?

While I'm at it, I may as well refer you to a list
I created on Amazon.com:


God and Chocolate? About Food and the Unseen World

and the tract/website I based that list upon:


God and Chocolate?

Have you noticed that you can buy a Christmas/Hanukkah combo card,
but you can't buy (to my knowledge) a Passover/Easter combo card?

********************

To the Heavenly Bridegroom,
   from a Single Woman
 
You are the only Intimacy
      I know.
You draw me close in Spirit.

I knead in my Mind
grains of truth
mixed with living water
the milk and honey
     of the Promised Land
 
add the salt of the earth
and the oil of gladness
leaving out the yeast
     of the priests and scribes
but folding in
the leaven of the kingdom
 
baked in refining fire
until it rises
     and emerges
the Bread of Life
served with Wine of Joy
 
and golden apples served on silver plates.
 
I take you into my Body
as you have taken me
     into Yours.

IN MEMORIAM







Support freedom



We should dread a climate where the jobs 
of columnists and comedians are endangered by dissent.
--Maureen Dowd, editorial, New York Times, September 2001.

MY LIFE GOAL:

My goal on this earth is to glorify God, and to write a piece,
preferably a stage play or screenplay, which lives on after I die and
which makes people think, feel, and get uplifted or challenged.

"Act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with your God."
--from Micah 6:8.




My one-act musical play of the first Passover

SHUA, THE LAMB OF FREEDOM
is available through MP3.com!

SHUA premiered at New Life Fellowship Church, Elmhurst, NY,
Easter Sunday 2000, as a puppet play.
