Waters Edge: (Edited): 13 June 2010:

From the middle inland, I can still hear the waves' echoing roar. From the deserts west, I can still taste the moist salt in the mists. From deep within the northern forests, I can still feel the powerful waves crashing through my whole being. The deep emerald greens of these southern waters have colored my eyes. The warmth of the swirling coastal waters surrounds me and comforts me. The living waters of the gulf fills me with a natural, everlasting energy. To swim gracefully along side the dolphins out in the ocean's deep is a freedom my heart desires. (R) C.J.MacKechnie

Workers Test: (Unedited): 06 March 2013:

Welcome and love those who test you. They are the construction workers of your resolve. C.J.MacKechnie

==========================
No matter the evil intentions or harmful plans that some will have against you. Welcome them and their questions, comments and deceiving stories. Even if their intent is for their own entertainment value.
Even from the lies and deception of their own mind. Many fruitful lessons can they still learn. While they walk away cursing you and your group. The seeds you will plant and the weeds they will become. Hopefully choking out the evil within them.
