Dam!

By L. E. Skelton (Leticia Skelton) -
A dam in a river blocks
(the natural flow of water)
Creates a reservoir 
To produce hydraulic power

A river dammed: 
A claustrophobic sight
Walled up (and waiting)
To breathe its suspended sigh

Every heart is a river
Yet some have been dammed 
No passage: blockage.
Hoarded emotions repressed

Those obstructed hearts hoard 
Their frugal, stingy 'heart-draulic' energy
What will happen to that artery?
(Will love ever stretch out of such misery?)

The dam in the river.
The dam in the heart.

Consider the river... Consider your heart.

The Best Way to Celebrate Valentine's Day

By L. E. Skelton (Leticia Skelton) -

Yes, today is Valentine’s Day in the USA. A day marked with expressions of love and affection, especially romantic love. A time of reflection for the single and the married. A reminder of how decisions matter and how our choices can alter our lives forever. As Christians, married or not, we ought to be first and foremost thankful to God for the life He has given us and abide in Him, as the branches are connected to the vine. The moment we were redeemed by Jesus Christ’s blood sacrifice on the cross, we received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, Who is one with Jesus (The Son) and The Father. At that very instant, our bodies became the Temple of God, and God in us is the most important reason to celebrate LOVE each day … If you are single, know that the Lord understands loneliness, and He does not want anyone to be alone: someone is out there, especially made for you! Our wonderful Creator knows the desires of your heart and wants you to become one flesh with that specia...

Have you been scouring all the online and newspaper ads for the best deals? Is your virtual shopping cart already stuffed to the brim with the Pre-Black Friday bargains? How much are you planning to spend (or have already spent) on things you “must” get? Is it all about Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) this week? YES, I have also been trapped in this seemingly irresistible shopping spree before, in which all we seem to see and hear is: up to XYZ% OFF, free shipping, limited supplies, ends in less than a day, get yours NOW! That’s when Black Friday had to die: I broke free from its grip by the power of CONTENTMENT! And I made a list… What is your Thanksgiving List? If you haven’t made one, I can show you mine: I am THANKFUL for: Life Family  Work  But, above all, I am thankful for The One who has given me Life, Family, and Work: my Creator! He has made me glad! And now I don’t need all the Black Friday deals or anything that would stand in the way of worshipping my God! Th...
