Chunks are usually small, being of great worth to us all Worldly nuggets may be of gold, diamonds, or silver Many other things lurking in the river Spiritual nuggets may be wisdom, knowledge, or understanding Lurking in the Crystal River of God Illuring our understanding How do I mine such nuggets I can't touch The answer being I look in the Bible to uncover such The deeper I probe, the more nuggets I find Proving it to be a motherload gold mine The further I look, the larger they become There is no end to where they come from The more I learn, the less I know Thank God I continue to grow December 4, 2022 Mark Waldrop

It brings memories of being last selected for most ball teams I pretended it didn't Matter, but it shattered my dreams. After the game began, there was so much childish fun I had forgotten the selection process as I began to run It matters not what team you are on; only do your best. That's the only requirement to pass the test Being on God's team is undoubtedly the best He never picks last and always gives you time to rest You're always a winner if you listen to the Coach You will always look at life with a new approach December 4, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Memory is a physical attribute each person has We learn to nurture and cultivate it with all that we have Good memories, we try to retain, the bad, not so much It isn't easy to hold on to something we cannot touch Our memories will fade away one day No more to be Relying only on God’s love will set us free December 3, 2022 Mark Waldrop Penned for my friends Doc Holiday & Dr. Harold Kraybill
