Verses For the Week and Some Various Thoughts

    The first thing that I want to do on today's post is to thank the Lord for allowing me to get some poetry accepted for publication with a literary journal.  I am very happy about this.

     Today is the day when my friend Toby passed away many years ago now.  I wanted to share a picture of him that I have posted previously.  It will be at the end of this post.  I still miss him every day.

And now for the verses:

Proverbs 17:17 -- " A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity."

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10a -- "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.  If either of them falls down, one can help the other up."
