Judy Evans @JudyEv (326591) • Rockingham, Australia 13 May

Xavier Bage You're right in saying that Vince should be careful and never over-exert himself. Recently, quite some people I used to know have left us . They had cardiological issues. A church member who looked well enough after heart issues could not be saved, even by the...

This is more difficult than I expected!

Fleur @Fleura (29262) • United Kingdom 13 May

Little One likes to sing, and sometimes when we’re on a car journey she’ll suggest that we sing a few songs, or even that we just listen to her singing. But then she’ll say ‘What shall I sing?’ and the big problem is that not one...

Do you often allow few negative people to distract you?

Tunde @ogbenishyna (3090) 13 May

Since your mind is your private place or sanctuary, do you still allow negative comments and opinions distract you? People don't share their mistakes online but they want to pick on people who make mistakes. This means taking care...

Poetry Notes

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (2591) • United States 12 May
