It seems that there was this Small Group of Men and Women with "VERY MUCH" Knowledge.  Many of their followers were of a Like Opinion,,that THEY YES,  had much Knowledge.   So,  as they Sat around one day,  Pondering ,  AS those with Great Knowledge would do:  They came up with the IDEA to make Man and Woman with a NEW type of Body!   "Where should we start First, they Queried?"   "maybe if we changed the Elbow,  BECAUSE people are Always Hitting their Funny-Bone!"   "Maybe if we changed the Big and Little Toes,  BECAUSE People are always Stubbing their Toes!"   "Maybe if we changed their Eyes,  BECAUSE People are always getting something in their eyes!"   "Maybe if we changed their Fingers,  BECAUSE  People are always Jamming their Fingers!"   "Maybe if we changed their Noses,  BECAUSE  People are Always stickin it where it shouldn't be!"   "Maybe if we changed their Knees,  BECAUSE  People are Always Weak in the Knees!"   "Maybe if we changed their Backs,  BECAUSE  People are always down in the Back!?   "Maybe if we changed their Hearts,  BECAUSE  People always have Broken Hearts!"   "Maybe if we changed their Ears,  BECAUSE  people are always not hearing!"   "Maybe if we changed their Tongues,  BECAUSE  people are always Wagging them!"   "Maybe if we changed   their feet,  BECAUSE  People  are always putting their Feet in their Mouths!"   "Maybe if we changed their Mouths,  BECAUSE   people are always Spouting off at the Mouth!"    "Maybe if we changed their Minds,  BECAUSE  People are always changing their Minds!"   "Maybe if we changed their Smell,  BECAUSE   People are always saying ,Something Doesn't smell right !"   "Maybe if we changed their NAMES,  BECAUSE  People are always trying to make a Name for Themselves!"  "Maybe if we changed Their stomaches,  BECAUSE  People are Always saying* They Just Can't Stomach That!"   "maybe if we changed their Hair,  BECAUSE  people are always Coloring or Losing it!"    "Maybe if we changed the way  they Walk,   BECAUSE  People are Always getting out of Line!"    "Maybe if we changed the way they speak,  BECAUSE  People are Always speaking Out of Turn!"   ,,,,,,,"MAYBE IF WE CHANGED",,,,,, SO, When the Itch in the middle of our Back really needs attention,,,, we Untie  our hands from our Sides!

As the Paddles were used to stroke Against the Resistance of the Water,   Thereby Attempting to insure their Progress,  for the Ultimate Destination across the Mighty Ocean currents.   Each stroke of the OARS met more resistance by the people manning the ship.   The Sweat began to increase on each brow,  But yet they Never gave  up Their earnest Efforts.    Even as the Winds increased and the Current became stronger,,  They pressed on toward Their Destination.   Each was Driven to Dig Deeper within themselves,  For the Stroking had become Most Difficult!!    But they were not Deterred... They knew that  the Reception waiting for them on the other side, Would be worth every bit Of Effort.   They Had to Endure!!  As they kept their focus on the ultimate Goal,,They remained Undisturbed by the Leaks,  Broken Oars,  Strong Currents,  Ever Increasing Winds AND Shouts of Dismay among the weak.   The waves began to break over the Bows of the Boat,  But the OARS DUG DEEPER and Deeper,  Drawing them ever so Closer to the Shoreline that NOW came into view..   Having seen the Shoreline,  A Great Surge of Energy came upon Each Person as they STROKED FORWARD.   EACH person continued to the the Very End,,   With that very Unusual Smile on his face and a  special kind of light in  in His Eye.   *KNOWING FULL WELL How great the Ultimate Goal would BE.  Are You prepared for the Proper use of "YOUR OARS" ??

Used to Think that dreamin was a man's game,   Used to Think that Schemin was a Woman's Game.  Now I've learned the Truth about Livin,   Now I've Learned the Truth about Givin.   It takes More than Dreamin,  It takes more than Schemin,  To Make a Man a Man,,  to make a Woman.   It takes a World of Smilin,  it takes Away the Cryin.  Used to Think that Dreamin was a Man's Game,   Used to Think that Schemin was a Woman.    Give Me the Winnin,   Give Me the Grinnin.   A Man Will Dream of Gold and Mountains,   A Woman  will Dream of Diamonds and Fountains.   But there's got to be Another Way.   To Brighten Up our Remaining Days.   **WHERE'S the Answer????   Is it in the Dreams of Her?   Is it  in the Dreams of Him?   Would You believe it??  I just Found another WAY!!  No more Dreamin & Schemin I say!!  Time Has come to Lend a Helpin Hand,  Stand up and Help Woman and Man~~  It takes a World of Smilin,  TO=  Take away the Cryin ....USED TO THINK IT WAS IN DREAMIN,,,,   "NOW,,,IT"S IN THE " K N O W I N "

While I'm sleeping in the Shadows,  Will You spend some time with me?    Why I MISS You Heaven knows, All this waiting lonely me.  Everyone said You'd be Leaving,  If onlyI'd known in time. But now I sleep in Shadows..  Perhaps I could have stopped you from Leaving,  Maybe,just Maybe I could get you to stay and watch My Sleeping in the Shadows.   The Tear Drops from my Eyes,,,Break My heart!   The Pain I feel Inside,,is Simply Love for You!   Lonliness now is what Lives in my Heart... HOWEVER,,,I saved a Special Space Just for You...In my heart a Room Prepared,,..._BUT for now I SLEEP IN THE SHADOWS!!

The Loss was beyond MY understanding  AT THE TIME..   How could she have been taken away so Quickly??  She had only been gone One hour,  when The Call came in..   A Raspy voice,,Speaking Slowly,  Asked,,"Missing Something??"   My Heart raced within me,  My Mind trying to gather it's senses.   The Voice said  "If You want Her back,,,You  Must follow these instructions".   "BUT First",,the Voice Firmly announced ,, "You Must answer the following questions..   Do You Really LOVE Her,  Miss being able to talk to her everyday,  Miss kissing Her Lovely lips,  Miss the Touch of Her hand,  Miss the Sound of Her voice in those *Precious *Private moments ??"_The *Voice then was quiet for a few seconds,,,,,,As I had had answered Each of his questions in the Affirmative!!     I Forced myself Not to say anything else,, but just answer his quieries...__The Pause seemed as if minutes!!_THEN,,the *Voice Announced in a STERN WAY,,,,"WHAT  if I took Her away Forever?"    My Heart was now Pounding as I tried to Calmly Say,,,,"I Would Miss Her Terribly!!",,THEN I Quickly asked "What do I need to do,, to Get Her *Back??"__Another  very Long Pause as my Mind was racing in *Prayers...   The Pause seemed Dark and Ominous!   *FROM NOWHERE!!  I felt this sudden Pain Hitting the back of my Head!!   Nextly, AS if from out of a Cloud,,a Womans Voice,,,"SIR,,SIR!"..  Thru Blurring Tears,, A Nurses uniform appeared before me,,"SIR" she continued,,,"The Heart transplant was a success"..  Death had been Calling for My Love,,,BUT *GOD's Hand  had "RECAPTURED HER"

Once upon a time in a far off  Village lived a Tribe of people called the "WITH-ERS".   next were the Tribes named Nearest,  Nearer,  Near,  Searchers and the Lost..  The WITH-ERS LIVED in the very Center of the Tribal Areas.  Each Tribe had it's boundaries marked by Barbed wire,  Concrete blocks,  Electric fences,  Guard dogs,  Warning signs,  Armed Patrols,  Flashing Lights and Laser beams...  The *WITH-ERS  Tribe Boundaries were marked by Every tree that GOD  has ever made.   Each Tree was always in full bloom and showing the brightest of Green..  Sweet, Soft Music  came always from the Center of the *WITHERS community,  YET NO BAND  could be seen..   The LIGHT from the EYES  of each of the WITH-ERS tribe members  seemed to glisten to ANY  OBSERVER.   When standing next to a WITH-ERS one could feel the Energy,  love,  fellowship and helpfulness that always seemed to be present.    The WITH-ERS were envied,  hated,  despised,  loved,  adored,  threatened,  praised,  and Talked about  by ALL  the Surrounding Tribes and they especially liked to call them "PECULIAR"..   THE WITHERS* GLADLY ACCEPT any who "WOULD-CHOOSE" to join them...BY THE WAY,,,Which Tribe should we  decide to JOIN,,,,THE CHOICE " IS OURS ".......

I wanna find out what it means,,Not Just waking up,,but what does that really mean??  Are these thoughts really ours,,were they planted as guideposts for TheDay??  A Day of Second thoughts ,Would that get in the way,, Yeah,,I Wanna know what it really means!!  Am I not more than something just plugged into the wall??  Granted, without an outlet, how do I Measure my progress?  Does it make ME think that GOD  is Greater than I thought??  For example, why not 27 hours in the day,,why haven't we spun off our Axis??  How did I learn the difference between TRUE LOVE,, AND just simply caring for someone else,,but Still,,*NOT WANTING to Lose "either of  them"?? Even on those days of seeking a place and time to be a Recluse,,"Pray Tell",, What does all this mean??  Why am I compelled to ask so Many others what kind of path they pursue??  I Discovered Long-Ago,,The Path I LEAVE,,Precedes me!  Is that what it means?  A journey of time and space and people; to be Used for??  *NOW I SEE 10 Million things ahead..."I WILL PACK MY BAG OF MEANINGS  AND GO FORWARD"...                 by barnoahMike
