Joleyn: the light was leaving in the west it was blue. the children's laughter sang skipping just like the stones they threw...

Joleyn: ...with just enough light to lay down underneath the stars, listen to all the translations of the stories across the sky, we drew our own constellations...

Joleyn: no matter what we want to accomplish, we don't go thru it alone. the spirit of God goes with us.

Joleyn: Regardless of what is required, we can accomplish it, because God, our constant companion and guide, is the Source of all that fulfills us.

Joleyn: light my way along Your path so that all I do leads me toward the destination You have in mind.

Joleyn: fear not tomorrow, God is already there.

Joleyn: everybody can be great because anybody can serve. you only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love. -- dr. martin luther king, jr.

Joleyn: a new year is unfolding--like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within.

Joleyn: Each night be still and let your surroundings, your home, bring peace to your soul.

Joleyn: Christmas is, of course, the time to be home - in heart as well as body.
