Guest guest Posted January 30, 2000 Report Share Posted January 30, 2000 Hi Gillian, I like your idea of the 2 Virtual Reality Suits. I would love to see how my Rheumatologist would handle the fact that he could no longer run one of his marathons, HA!!!! He would probably invent a cure within a month also. Too bad that we couldn't find a Rheumatologist who has arthritis. I bet he/she would treat us differently than a Rheumy who doesn't have arthritis.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I hope I do not offend anyone, but years ago while in the hospital, in December I wrote a few poems, I share them again this year, with my eternal hope you all have a very peaceful and healthy season all year long. I wish you all Merry Christmas and a wonderful happy New Year. Skip Advent In the City Duffie Lonely people in the streets rush by, snow falling from a dull grey sky. In the cold a child cries, its mother sighs, In the alley a father dies. Shops with windows lit so bright, selling their wares far into the night. A man with clothes tattered and torn, in this city of plenty he is forlorn. .. A hush settles over all of the earth, It is the advent of our savior's birth. Born out of his mother's agony and pain, She offers her son, she without stain. Again and again over the years, this mothers offers this child of tears. He was born for our sins, a star so bright, a light for all, a candle raging against the night. A flame of hope to us on earth, have we learned by this little child's birth. God's only Son had death in store. We couldn't care less ,He couldn't care more A man sits close to the prison wall, A woman lies dead in a dirty hall. At last morning comes to the large city, Our God sheds tears for His people in pity. Skip's Christmas Greeting by Duffie The night is cold, the stars are bright, The wind moans low on this winters night. The animals witness a woman give birth. The son of God has come to earth.. Men of wisdom standing near, A star has led them to this child so dear. ph smiles at this child so small, born to in this manger stall. The shepherd's in the fields took fright, to hear a choir on this silent night. Hark the angels shout and sing, Jesus the child is our newborn king. Peace on earth we say to each other, and treat each one as our brother. Please do not forget my Christmas prayer, keep Jesus in your heart all through the year.. Awake Awake the prophets sing, Jesus is our eternal King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
