Snow Day Thwarted
Sleet and snow predicted.
Went to bed with snow day dreams.
Rain, the snow day thwarted.
Off to school it seems.
Grumpy faces this morn.
Thought that they’d be freed.
Back to the slog they go.
Gloomy day indeed.

Fueling My Revenge
By Mugs Manry
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.”
Luke 6:37 (NIV)
Throughout my children’s upbringing, I have not allowed them to verbally hold back forgiveness. The child wronged is required to say, “I forgive you.” Sometimes, my children have told me, “I don’t want to forgive.” Sometimes I tell God the same thing.
