Faith comes across as lived and real in the world as portrayed here in this poem -many other ways having been tried but Faith is the answer - a jaunty rhythm to match that conviction and humorous touch

    Thank you Zanya, as you are always so sweet! It truly is the only place that I feel such peace with! It's not even really explainable, but playing in satan's playground is asking for trouble. Thank you again my friend. Debi

This is an entertaining poem with a strong rhythm. The contrasts in each line are cleverly manufactures, and the rhyme gives the poem a sense of urgency. Maybe punctuation at the end of lines might help the reader, but I read it without any just fine! Thanks for sharing.

Poetry presentation eye catching and attractive. Choice of art an asset and appropriate. Excellent choice of words to support the rhyming. Message conveyed as to your past habits of relying on the predictions of the horoscopes, Ouija boards, psychics and other mythical means to guide your daily living. Glad to discover as I read that you found a new hope and way that truly only makes promises of hope through redemption and great love paid to provide mankind with a peace of mind, body and soul that daily on time provides us with approval to make decisions that get us through each moment of each day of this life. Experiences that may encompass joy and sorrow. All apart of reality supported by Faithful, Love, Grace and Mercy. The Price was Paid for us believers to inherit a Life worth Living. Enjoy your writing. Well done. All the best.

    Thank you Cecilia, you are so very kind. I can't tell you what those six stars mean to me, as well as your lovely review and kind words.
    I turned my life over to Christ many years ago, when all of the world's entertainment couldn't provide the feeling that a person gets knowing our Heavenly Father, and our Best Friend & Savior Jesus.
    God has Satan is on a short leash, but look at the evil he still causes.
    So that's why I wrote this, because I believe that it's hard enough without playing in Satans playground. I love having you and a whole fellowship of people who don't hesitate to announce that Jesus is Lord! And I believe this fellowship we have as fellow authors, is great for our soul daily!
    Thank you again for your generous six star review!

This is really an excellent entry for the Life Lessons contest. When I was a kid, my friends and I played with a ouija board; we were too dumb to know it was dangerous, evil. Your skillfully written, deeply meaningful poem conveys a realistic message about trusting in people and things to guide us instead of the Lord.

    Wow Teri! I thank you so much for the 6 stars and for such a lovely review and comments! You have completely made my day. But what makes me super happy too is having such wonderful Christian friends that we all seem to praise God together. That fellowship truly strengthens me daily. Thank you for everything. It's one awesome package deal! Thanks again Ter!

Your contest entry is awesome, Debi. The monorhyme
within each verse is super. I like the image, the color
scheme, the smooth flow, but most of all the great, and
true message. Thanks for the notes, too.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

In the Bible book of 1 Samuel, chapter 28, King Saul visits a spirit medium and has her summon the spirit of the now deceased prophet Samuel. Saul is chastised and receives a pronouncement of the impending death of Saul and his son Jonathan. Consulting with mediums and fortune tellers was forbidden and Saul knew it, so he was doubly in the wrong by knowingly violating God's commandments.

another great one, I used the quija board long ago, and a demon revealed itself in the spelling, and the center piece my sister and i were touching was moving violently on the board. I was praying aloud and it slowed down to a stop. i brought it to the goodbye, and never touched it since.

    Wow Joann, how scary. It's a good thing that God has Satan on a leash, but we need to do our part. It's hard enough to stay in faith with this world calling the good bad and the bad good, without playing in satan's playground too!
    And after seeing a friend kill herself over it, it's not worth it, so I know how you must feel too. I appreciate your kind review, but more so it's so nice to know I have so many good friends here that also join together to speak the truth! Thank you my friend!

Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. I have a story about an ouijia board. I was in high school during the Viet Nam war. A neighbor's son was in Nam. She asked an ouijia board if her son would be back in time for his upcoming birthday. The board said 'yes'. Two days later they received notification that her son had died. Never would I trust any of that stuff.

    Oh Barb, you just sent a chill that ran from the top of my head down to my toes. I just don't think people were aware back in those times, as my mother would never have gotten it for me if she suspected. Thank you for sharing that story as I will remember to pass that one down to my grandchildren.
    Also thank you for the great review and so good to know that others feel the same way.

    My parents never allowed things like that in our house. The neighbor shared the information.
