REMEMBRANCE

When I am gone

Please remember me

As a heartfelt laugh,

As a tenderness.

Hold fast to the image of me

When my soul was on fire,

The light of love shining

Through my eyes.

Remember me when I was singing

And seemed to know my way.

Remember always

When we were together

And time stood still.

Remember most not what I did,

Or who I was;

Oh please remember me

For what I always desired to be:

A smile on the face of God.

The Promise Of Redemption

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

II Corinthians 4

THE DREAMERS

In the dawn of the day of ages,

In the youth of a wondrous race,

'Twas the dreamer who saw the marvel,

'Twas the dreamer who saw God's face.

On the mountains and in the valleys,

By the banks of the crystal stream,

He wandered whose eyes grew heavy

With the grandeur of his dream.

The seer whose grave none knoweth,

The leader who rent the sea,

The lover of men who, smiling,

Walked safe on Galilee --

All dreamed their dreams and whispered

To the weary and worn and sad

Of a vision that passeth knowledge.

They said to the world: "Be glad!

"Be glad for the words we utter,

Be glad for the dreams we dream;

Be glad, for the shadows fleeing

Shall let God's sunlight beam."

But the dreams and the dreamers vanish,

The world with its cares grows old;

The night, with the stars that gem it,

Is passing fair, but cold.

What light in the heavens shining

Shall the eye of the dreamer see?

Was the glory of old a phantom,

The wraith of a mockery?

Oh, man, with your soul that crieth

In gloom for a guiding gleam,

To you are the voices speaking

Of those who dream their dream.

If their vision be false and fleeting,

If its glory delude their sight --

Ah, well, 'tis a dream shall brighten

The long, dark hours of night.

Hey y'all ... I'm looking for subscribers to my blog. You know ... if you subscribe, you'll get notification in an email or via the reader of your choice whenever a new post appears on I'm Having A Thought Here.

You're getting sleepy ...

To sweeten the deal, if you decide to subscribe and are comfortable sending me your home (or work) address using the "Email Me!" link in my sidebar (of course I would never share that information with anyone), I will send you a special gift! Yes! And you will like it and tell all your friends it was worth it and that they should immediately follow suit!

So go now to the "Please Subscribe" link in my sidebar, click on "The Latest Whatever/RSS" and subscribe! You know you want to!

Then drop me a line and let me know where to send your present.

You won't be sorry.

Honest.

Do it now.

Do not argue with me.

I will win this.

You're getting sleepy ...

Oh and, uhm ... just so you know what you're in for, check this out ...

Good luck getting subscribers. You should get a lot. Your blog is a joy to read.

Robyn

Thanks luv! Please tell me you subscribed!

May 10, 2008 |

Jennifer

Hi, Jenny! I'll gladly sign up for your feed. (Without a giftie.) But, um, what do I do after I go to your RSS feed page? As you might suspect, I've never done this. :)

May 10, 2008 |

P.L. Frederick

Of course.
Yes, I have.

May 10, 2008 |

Robyn

@ Robyn ... thanks darling! I'll give you your present at church!

@ P.L. ... I hope it looks the same when you click it, but when I click "The Latest Whatever/RSS" I get a screen that has a yellow box at the top. At the bottom of the yellow box it says "Subscribe to this feed" and you just click on that and it's done! I hope that works for you!

May 10, 2008 |

Jennifer

You have to be logged in on whatever sight it is being subscribed to. For instance, I'm on Yahoo, but if I clicked the subscribe button and that page comes up, I have to be logged into Yahoo for it to subscribe. Otherwise, it makes you think you subscribed and did not.
What present?

May 10, 2008 |

Robyn

Hmmm ... I'm not sure about that. I subscribe to at least seven blogs but I've never logged in on any of them; I just read them! I don't require anyone to log on to my blog for any reason; I'm the only one who logs on. I tested this at TG's computer and it confirmed he had subscribed to me.

May 10, 2008 |

Jennifer

Not log into your blog, logged into the site the notifications are sent to.
Earlier I put "sight" and meant "site". I can't believe I did that.

May 10, 2008 |

Robyn

Well, I don't know ... guess I'm not savvy enough. Each time I've subscribed to a blog -- and I subscribe to several -- I don't log onto anything. I just click on the link to their RSS feed, then it lets me pick how I want to receive the updates (via email or through a reader, or even on my Google homepage) and I make one click and it's done, and I am notified every time they post.

Now, I receive mine through Google, but I don't log onto Google; I just open my home page, ya know? Otherwise I wouldn't be on anyone's blog in the first place?

Who IS on first, by the way?

So I wish I could be more helpful but I really didn't think it would be all that difficult. Maybe if someone could succesfully subscribe to my blog (or maybe the ones who have already done so in the past who may be reading this), they'd be good enough to tell us how they did it!

May 10, 2008 |

Jennifer

LOL. when you click subscribe it takes you to the site with the yellow box. It says subscribe to this feed using:
theres a drop down menu.
you must be logged in which ever site it is showing on the drop down menu.
If you have email with yahoo, you click on yahoo.
Then click Subscribe Now.
But if you are not logged in on your yahoo site at that time, it does not subscribe even though it tells you it does.
Same with google. It will only subscribe if you are already logged into the site you receive your email at.
It isnt as difficult as I make it sound, but it is hard to explain.

May 10, 2008 |

Robyn

I already subscribe using google reader. Does that count??

May 11, 2008 |

Elaine

You are a darling and of course it counts, Elaine! Send me an email with your address and I'll send your prezzie!

May 11, 2008 |

Jennifer

Just subscribed. And you gave me several cool presents already. 1.) I love reading Southern writers, 2.) there are about seven thousand coffee cups staring at me as we speak, and 3.) you're reading my e-book! :-)

May 12, 2008 |

RJ Keller

LOL! I am humbled! The coffee cups do inspire, do they not? I am indeed reading your most excellent book and enjoyng every last word. Welcome aboard, R.J.

May 12, 2008 |

Jennifer

Ah .. the dark side of ambition! But it's a fine goal, to be sure.

Actually, I just added you to my feed before I read this post. It was the Depp quotes that did it. ;)

May 12, 2008 |

Jay

I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption!

A man versed in Pirates nomenclature frequenting me blog ... be still my heart!

Thanks for subscribing, Jay!

May 12, 2008 |

Jennifer

JW - Nothing so exciting, I'm afraid, although they do exist. My husband does a nice line in quotes, and not only Pirates, either. If you pop over to my blog you'll see he's quite capable of scaring waiters in upmarket restaurants with adapted lines from Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Tee hee.

See? You're not the only one who can be shameless!

May 13, 2008 |

Jay

I shall pop over immediately! But I'll let you shoot the cook ... since your car is parked out back anyway.

May 13, 2008 |

Jennifer

Yep, that was the one! LOL!

May 13, 2008 |

Jay

I read it! GREAT post! Fitting, since Johnny has spent so much time in Vancouver!

I've added The Depp Effect to my blogroll! Excellent blog.

May 13, 2008 |

Jennifer

Thank you!!! I've added you to mine, too.

May 14, 2008 |

Jay

By the way, I notice that link you included about blog verbosity requires you to have the full blog post in your RSS feed. One word of caution - if you do this, your site is vulnerable to 'scrapers' who can steal your content and use it for their own nefarious purposes. This can be anything from outright plagiarism to hosting a dummy site purely for the ad revenue. To avoid this, shorten your feed to provide only a sample of each post.
