  Janet lives with her husband Philip, and son John, in Brisbane, Australia. They became Christians in 2010 at their home church The River of Life Centre in Brisbane. Janet has always been able to put together rhymes but when she became a Christian at the age of 52 her friend and mentor Christine Gear encouraged her to journal every morning.The verses and poems became a regular occurrence, words from God that would speak to what was occurring in her life. These words, that touched her own heart and spirit with unexpected messages from the pages of her journal, seemed to have an effect on others who read them too, and she would pass them to friends when she knew the word was for them.As a new Christian, Janet says she had no idea that God sometimes talks to us in these amazing ways.Her prayer for you is that somewhere in the words you find a connection in your spirit that speaks only to you, and that it will bring you something special.

  The Satires - Poetry of Lord Byron

  Lord Byron

  In this, the fourth volume of this series, we hear the poetry in which Byron began to make his mark on the world. Though his major breakthrough with Childe Harold is yet to come, his English Bards and Scotch Reviewers was a definite hit in its time, establishing Byron as a known poet and ensuring that his reputation as a literary bad-boy was off to a good start. 
  English Bards and Scotch Reviewers was his first major satire and one of his most effective; we can't help seeing that the "Scotch Reviewers" who had harshly criticized Byron find themselves on the losing end of the battle. 
  However, Byron's satirical shots didn't end with the reviewers. He took on the literary lions of the day - a remarkable feat for so young a writer - and scored well there too, though later in his life he deeply regretted having been so harsh on his fellow poets. He continued to lambaste the poets of his time in Hints from Horace, in which he takes on the task of admonishing the rest of the poets of his world to do things his way while showing up quite a few of them for having committed, in Byron's view, the crime of writing bad verse. For the modern reader or listener, this volume is a useful antidote to the image of Byron we take from his romantic poetry. Byron wasn't always the dreamy romantic, head in the clouds and heart on fire. He could be, as here, as sharp, as pointed, and as firmly rooted in the polemics of this world as any other satirist in the English tradition from Pope to Swift and beyond. Satire was not his major gift, but it was a real one, and we can hear it in these poems and thereby learn to know the other side of Lord Byron. Enjoy!A Freshwater Seas production.

  The Great Gildersleeve Collection 2

  Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve was a popular character appearing regularly on The Fibber McGee & Molly Show. On August 31, 1941, the character landed his own situation comedy show, The Great Gildersleeve, becoming radio's first spin-off. Gildy moved from the town of Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where he raised his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie (Lillian Randolph). 
  The Great Gildersleeve was the first show to be centered on a single parent balancing raising children, work, and a social life, accomplished with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's slightly understated pomposity. Radio veteran, Hal Peary originated the role of Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve but left the series at the height of its popularity in 1950 giving way to Peary-sound-a-like and well-known character actor, Willard Waterman. Waterman continued in the radio role until 1957 and also played Gildersleeve in a TV version syndicated in 1955. Now, enjoy 12 half-hour comedy episodes of The Great Gildersleeve starring Willard Waterman.

  Dusk  
  where is the name no one answered to  
  gone off to live by itself  
  beneath the pine trees separating the houses  
  without a friend or a bed  
  without a father to tell it stories  
  how hard was the path it walked on  
  all those years belonging to none  
  of our struggles drifting under  
  the calendar page elusive as  
  residue when someone said  
  how have you been it was  
  strangely that name that tried  
  to answer
