Tuesday Evening

Hi Everyone...it's been awhile since I've been on the site and I just wanted to pop in and say hi to you. With "facebook" now too it's going to be a bit harder to me to keep up with any of them. Just keeping up with the ministry of worship takes most of the time around here but I've been dreaming a lot too. Dreaming of moving back east to be close to my loved ones. I refuse to stop praying until miracles become reality. Our God is mighty and He tells us to keep knocking and knocking until the door's opened. Juan...your poem was so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes as memories flooded back. Thanks for sharing from your heart. Looking back over the last 62 years life has been so beautiful and so sad....so happy, etc., etc. The only advice I can share is to treasure each and every moment as if it were the last one you have on this earth. It all goes by so fast and only in your dreams do your babies become babies again. I love you all more than any simple words can explain. You live in my heart and are cherished everyday. Prayed for everyday. Good night all. . . . . Mom/Nana

Love my Mishler Family!

Hello all!
Been awhile since my last post as well.Seems like we are all dealing with some issues (for lack of a better moniker) in our lives,both physical and spiritual.Ahhh,don't ya just love the aging process? White hair baby,that's my goal.Long and white.And in a braid!
I have been writing tons of poetry as of late. I tend to do this during times when I am being pushed spiritually,emotionally,or just plain inspired.MY last writes are a result of all three.
So,I am posting one of these poems here for you all...

Ashes and Foam

I sent my Love out over the Sea
And at Night the Moon brought Her home to Me
The Tide,it ebbed,the spray salty sweet
As the Ocean lay my Love at my feet

She gently took my hand in her own
The sensation of Memory chilling the bone
A short walk along shoreline and mist
Renewed my senses to what I've missed

And as Dawn awoke the Sun so fierce
I felt Sorrow's Dagger,my Heart thus Pierced
As sea foam and Moon beams swing and sway
Once again to take my Love away

I was inspired by the thought of being reminded of our loved ones.Specifically in dreams.I have had dreams of loved ones who have passed on (pops),past loves gone awry,and friends long gone.This is about someone being "visited" by a loved one in a dream and how the bittersweet panorama of such an experience can tug at both of our senses of love and lost.
Well....there are more but I may reserve them for another time as they are very personal.Consider this my "journal entry".
Take care,
Juan
