when the future collides

with the Ellis Island tenant

whose torch hasn't worked in years

didn't she just get a new face done?? :) i don't know jacob ..there is certainly a lot going on in the world and especially our own USA ..maybe best to stop reading papers and watching the news on TV ;} personally this past week has lifted my spirits a little bit ..i read a lot of poems about the Lord and trust ..i think we are too small to carry the worries and turmoil the world has spewed .. let God do that part ;))
