Some poetry from 2000 years ago to help me correct myself.


Since your mind will become a temple,
do not leave any filth in it;
do not leave in God’s house
anything hateful to God.
Let us be adorned as God’s house,
with what is attractive to God.
If anger is there,
lewdness abides there too;
if rage is there,
fumes will rise up from there.
Expel grudges from there,
and jealousy, whose reek is abhorrent.

St. Ephren wrote approximately 1,000 poems. Like someone here writes in unorthodox style,

Looking for Hope in A hopeless world.


Oh by the way health wise, its been awful today worse days health wise of the year.

That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her

Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
