Ross E Silke: Happy New Year 🥳 2022!!! It?s a fresh new beginning. 😇❄️❄️❄️☃️⛄️🌨😇🧎📜🕊⛪️🔔🌹📚📚🧣🧑🏻‍🦰


Ross E Silke: Spend summer writing your best. Never stop writing: rework, reword, revise, redo, refinish. We don't all have to be pros right off the bat. It takes years to establish our very best. Put every word to the test. Always put forth your best, 🍪😎👍🏻✌️🏻🌇🌅🌃🌟🇨🇦📝✏️✒️🖊️


Ross E Silke: Remembering my Grandma Marjorie R who passed away in December just before Christmas at age eighty-eight. She always believed in me. Have been grieving ever since. Writing ✍🏻 helps in times of grief. Helps to calm, soothe, and find peace. May she Rest In Peace. I?m happy she is with Jesus now. :0)?no more suffering. She always encouraged me to keep smiling and never worry; taught some valuable lessons that greatly helped me to succeed. God bless our grandmothers. 👵🏻💗💖🌸🐑🌷🌹🥀🌻
    Brett Matthew West: Can sympathise especially since I lost my Mother to cancer the day after Christmas 2007. My range of emotions runs the gambit with my birthday the day before Christmas, Christmas, and the day my Mother died all following each other. Writing does help (at least a little) during times like those. I find it cathargic. All I can say is hang in there. -
    Ross E Silke: Thank you for your sympathy Brett and in relating. It?s so encouraging! I appreciate your time to respond. :0) Best, -
    nor84: I envy those who had grandmothers and grandfathers. I didn't. My paternal grandmother died when my Dad was 3 years old, in the 1880s. My maternal grandmother died when I was about 4. I never met either. As for grandfathers, one died in 1939 without ever knowing I existed. The other died in 1928. And as for mothers, mine died when I was 9. You guys and gals are lucky. -
    Ross E Silke: I think my grandma outlived herself. I?ve been very blessed with family and am saddened when I hear from others that didn?t have that. Grandma was Heaven sent she was just unreal lol. It took awhile to grieve and still am. She taught me much about God and her legacy lives on through me. I hope you are blessed with lots of friends around you at least? Family is important. I planted some trees for her. Her obituary can be found searching Marjorie Ranger. -
    Bonnie Seach : Hope, comfort and faith help us to endure. John5:28,29 promises a resurrection of those in the graves. Hope for the opportunity of seeing your deceased loved ones again, here on earth. Best wishes -
    Ross E Silke: Thanks Bonnie; you?re a great encouragement. God bless. I haven?t seen my parents in about ten years so trying to find a way to make a trip home per say. I got so used to being away needing the break from them. Lol. -


Ross E Silke: Hi everyone I?m back from a long break from writing trying to get back into the swing of things. Looks like I might need another longer break lol. Will keep practicing.:0) hugs to all. Remember God loves you, never stop writing no matter what challenges we might face or dilemmas we might encounter, surely march on. Time will tell


Ross E Silke: Happy ?Mother?s Day week to every Mom. God bless. Stay safe, and use wisdom


Ross E Silke: Spring is the season of renewal and new beginnings. Starting fresh this spring. Focus on health, safety, and the mind; where poetry helps us stay strong in uncertain times. Good for the heart and mind. Stay safe,


Ross E Silke: My book Defeating Powers and Principalities in Your City reached #20 in 15-Minute Religion & Spirituality Short Reads on Amazon: I was so thrilled to find this out and wanted to share. Thanks to everyone for being such a big help in my writing endeavors.


Ross E Silke: I have the pleasure of taking Hebrew this spring, very excited. Shalom. Please keep safe and abide by social distancing and respect yourself and others.

Ross E Silke: Let's hope things change for the better come Easter. Here in Canada they are reassessing the opening of closures across the province April 13, right after. Let's pray the virus is under control by then, although it may take over a year for a cure, this could become a new way of life for awhile. Regardless, a very happy Easter and Good Friday weekend! Stay safe and celebrate at home. :0))


Ross E Silke: I just received a large grant in the mail from Tyndale university/seminary to finish in September studying in Bible Studies and English. I'm very excited. They have courses in C.S. Lewis even. I hope the virus is gone by then, lol. :0))
    Ross E Silke: Thanks so much! It's seven with three zeros. :0)) I didn't want to say but feel ok to now. I've never been offered anything like that in my academic history. I hope to teach someday. :0)) -
