... then shall the lame man leap like a hart...
Mood: lyrical
Topic: Quotations

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,

and the ears of the deaf unstoped;

then shall the lame man leap like a hart,

and the tongue of the dumb sing for joy.

For waters shall break forth in the wilderness,

and streams in the desert;

the burning sand shall become a pool,

and the thirsty ground springs of water;

the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp,

the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

Isaiah 35:5-7

Hi there,

I found your blog through Playing With Fire and have been spending my evening reading through your entries, Interesting.

I am a recovering addict who is now clean thanks to Methadone Maintenance Treatment.

If you would like to read more about my addiction and subsequent road to recovery, please check out my blog at why do anything when you can forget everything which can be found at http://www.junkylife.com/sickgirl/. I have been maintaining it now for just over a year and a half.

I have also taken the liberty of adding your blog to my section of links under the title of Partners in Crime.

Peace, love and happiness...

1. I don't see it as a liberty to add my blog to your roll; I'm flattered. I'm keeping a list of everyone who's contacted me... it's to the right (though in 2 sections at present bc I'm disorganized.)

2. I'm glad people like the quote. It came to me at the last moment to pick that one. I had to google it to find where it was...

Poem for a New World

A Poem for a New World..... from the Bible; Isaiah 11:6-9Mood: lyricalTopic: Quotations
My poem for the New Year 2007...

An extract from the Bible, telling of a time when this world we have to endure now has passed away.


The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
And the calf and the lion and the fatling together,
And a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall feed;
Their young shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp,
And the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.
They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain;
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD
As the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 11:6-9

Quote: New Heaven, New Earth

Topic: Quotations
I'm collecting inspiring quotes. I think this one's far better for this time of year than the standard hackneyed sayings...



Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a great voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.”
And he who sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water without price from the fountain of the water of life. He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son…”
Revelation 21.
