To Hell With Him

A week ago today I went out on a date with a man.  He seemed like a nice guy.  We have a lot in common.  We both picked out the onions in our salad.  He said he liked eggplant after I mentioned that I grew some in my garden last summer.  He likes the outdoors, travel, going on day trips to the city, etc.  I like all that stuff.

He later said that he'd be at my church on Sabbath.  I was excited to be able to see him again.  I went to church in my best dress. I tried to look my best.  I went to church--and I didn't see him. He didn't show up at all. I looked for him during Sabbath School and during the church service. 

A few days later I sent him a message and asked him how he was doing.  He said that on Friday night a friend called him and asked if he could work the sound equipment at another church that day. He went there instead.  I do wish that he sent a message to tell me that he wouldn't be there.  Anyway, he decided that going to the other church was more important than seeing me.  What do I need with a man who isn't that interested in me then?

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually...

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less ti...
