I Am So Sorry, But I Am Glad You Did.

The lashes from being beaten
on your skin.
The weight of your cross
On your back.
Lack of sleep
Weak,
But you still walked.
People following you weeping.
I am sorry,
But I am glad that you did.

The soldiers taking your clothes
And dividing them up.
Spitting on you
Like they were
looking down on You.


The nails being hammered
Into our saviors
Hands and feet,
I am sorry,
But I am glad that you did.
The names that they called you.
Making fun of you.
I am sorry,
But I am glad that you did.
Blood and sweat
Running down your face.
The crown of thrones
Digging into you.
I am sorry,
But I am glad that you did.

You dying on the cross.

I am sorry,
But I am glad
That you died
For my sins
And rose again

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper By Jill Sheets Summery came from  http://www.fionaingram.com/ "Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Riding makeshift rafts on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the...

Chit Chatting with Neill McKee

 Chit Chatting with Neill McKee Interview by: Jill Sheets J: Tell us about yourself. N: I guess you could call me a world wanderer from Canada. I was never happy staying in one place, beginning in my early years, as I have described in Kid on the Go! Memoir of My Childhood and Youth. I was a mischievous child and a rebel in my youth, but I began to think differently in senior high school with the help of my English teacher and other mentors. I was rather lost in my university days—didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, until I saw a poster to apply to become a volunteer teacher overseas, much like the Peace Corps in the US, but with no compulsion to escape the draft for the Vietnam War. At the end of the memoir, in 1968, I head off to the exotic island of Borneo in Southeast Asia to teach secondary school, an experienced that changed my life. My award-winning memoir, Finding Myself in Borneo: Sojourns in Sabah, tells readers how it all happened—a maturing experience. It also...

"Adriana" Review

 "Adriana" Review Review by: Jill Sheets I was excited to get the book "Adriana," by Leslie Hachtel and I could not wait to start to read it.  It was worth the wait. I loved this book. I was hooked by the second page. "Adriana" is a descriptive book and a fast read. I quickly fell in love with the characters, especially the main ones. It was not hard to root for them.  I like that the chapters were mainly short, especially with someone with a short attention span. If you like romance books, this one would be a good one for you.
