And in His word I do hope.'

*To everything there is a season

'To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck
what is planted;

A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;

A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain
from embracing;

A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;

A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;

A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.

I love the sound of the pitter patter of rain on my brolly.

{Thoughts*}

People like to shout at me...

...it's sad to hear the things that people feel are important enough to shout and complain about.

Aren't there more important things in life?

When I gaze...
