shower. It was a hot sunny Saturday afternoon and I had finished my
homework before embarking on a long enjoyable nap in my sitting room. I
got up from the rug where I laid to look at the wall clocks in my sitting room
which read Apart from the wall clocks in the sitting room, there are
other clocks in the house too like the one on the video player, the music sound
system display clock, the TV clock and radio display clock. I have not counted the ones at the balcony, corridor,
kitchen, bathroom/toilet and finally, the ones in the bedrooms. If I had
which means they would be numbering close to ten at home (a lot crazy idea
unh). Wait a minutes, I have not included the clock on my mobile phone
handset. Ah, I have remembered another clock, the very common ones,
that’s the wrist watches which are about three in number. Then there are
some decorative clocks; one on the TV, one on the antic shelf, one on another
book/antic shelf and one on one of the loud speakers of the sound system.
To be precise, all the watches, apart from the ones on my
handset and wrist watches were all given to me either by inheritance or as
gifts. Well, there is one peculiar clock which went off three times
before the denial of Jesus Christ. In the days gone by, it used to be the
only speaking clock. When it crows it meant time. But in a new
world of today nobody pay attention to that red colored fowl whose I believe
the word ‘clock’ was derived from. Through centuries, it name remains Mr.
Cock the fowl. Finally, there is the original clock which its value is fast
fading due to the advancement in technology. This original clock used to
wake us as soon as the inbuilt timer awakes. This depends on the way we
were brought up in our homes. Some people were brought up to be awake as
early as This inbuilt timer in us seizes to function because we now
have aids at home and when the aid malfunctions we also default. No
wonder why we sometimes get to work late as a result of failure in our alarm
clock. THE END! ~**~**~ Poetry Corner ~**~**~ The Dawn of the

dawn of the day, The sunrises

and became a dead tight, When I woke up, the
sun seemed hot, I ran to shower
and became cold and chilled Leaving home to

point of my day, It is the
sunshine of my day making Juts helping the
sun to leave the night As the prayer
makes the sunbath, whether it is A night or a day

Understand Conrad S.
Cardinal Each man from the
moment of his birth, has a score of
things learn to during his stay on earth. Some lessons may
be easy, some will be hard. None will
overcome you, if you put your trust in God. I'll try to
help try to help you learn about life's tests and
trials. At times we'll be
very close, other times the void
between us will seem like miles. I remember when
my dad tried to teach me what he'd
learned, I looked at him
and shook my head, very unconcerned. I wish that I had
realized the wisdom behind that bushy brow. Instead of
thinking, he's old fashioned, things are different
now. I expect you too
will think of me that way. I suppose that's
the price a father has to pay. When you do, I
won't scold or caution you. I'll just
remember that when you grow up, you'll be a father
too. Conrad cconseth@aol.com ~**~**~ Shadows Of The
Night Conrad S.
Cardinal Walking in the
shadows of the night. Afraid and alone,
avoiding the light. Carrying memories
of things gone wrong. The nights are
lonely and long. No tears left,
all cried out. So full of anger,
wanting to shout. No one to hear. No one to care. The fate of those
without spiritual sight. They who
have refused to walk in the light. Conrad Story Feedback Thank you to everyone who
vpted for my story Confetti Snowballs . I am trly honoured to be named as
winner of this contest, which was the highest standard ever this year. So many
wonderful stories. You all deserve a pat on the back! The story was a
true one and as I am now a widow it means even more to me. more so, as I
am going through a hard time just now! Thank you all again and BIG HUGS to you
all. God Bless you. Violet Dr. Singh. Regarding your
tender words, in "The Child And The Angel," I have good news
for you. Children who want to be like angels are closer than one might
suppose. Jesus made this interesting observation in Luke chapter 20 verses 35
and 36. "Those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age
and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in
marriage and they can no longer die for they are like the angels. They are
God's children since they are children of the resurrection." (From the New
International Version of the Bible.) Chris Hansen Author: "Revelation
