."The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." / The Bible Luk 4.18 /
"Blessed dishes Blessed Kisses And may the right switch Always be within Charms reach To help you see Your way through A room full of Unforeseen Dangers Without stumbling once May you get the important things Right And if not Without stumbling Twice Or whatever number you need To achieve Being happy In vibe May you lose track Of all ties To sad things That bring you Clowns When you seriously need someone Wise To talk to May you never underestimate You A friend True yourself Til the end of all trying And be The one who When they begin to fall down Slips up And land on their feet All that Topped off with A big ol' slice of PEACE"
