Joey, third of five,left home at sixteen, travelled the country and wound up in Nottingham with a wife and kids. They do shifts, the kids play out and ends never meet. Sometimes he'd give anything to walk away but he knows she's only got a year and she doesn't.
A Life- by Jane Rosenberg, Brighton, United Kingdom
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. Oscar Wilde, De Profundis, 1905 // What if people are God's people? Their thoughts are God's Truths, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

13 the jack of clubs
Life as I come to know it, is full of worries- full of empty cisterns. Grades determine out happiness. Jobs ensure our security. Talents certify our acceptance. Pleasures justify our actions. The only true peace I find is knowing the truth; it is knowing that these are not ultimate things; these are not eternal; it is knowing there is something greater- someone greater. In the midst of stress, trials, temptations, heaviness, gravity, hopelessness, shame, pity, scorn, failures, it is knowing I am who He made me to be. I am His beloved- nothing less. It is only a matter of time before I believe.
