I Love Me

by Brenda L. Wells

At times I look in the mirror and ask the question “WHY?”

Did God give the shape and the color of my eyes.

Then I look at the length and texture of my hair;

A Desperate Measure Gone Wrong

by Joy T.J. Riley

A few weeks ago I suddenly heard a still, small voice say, “You don’t finish what you start”.  I started thinking and realized this statement was very accurate.  I made a list projects I had started over the past two years and along with the vision I had when I started them.  To my surprise, the list contained eight major incomplete projects.
