The Witness By: Allen R. Alderman
The day is not much like any other. The sun is hot, the sky is clear. And the people are gathered on a hillside for a crucifixion. I am among them. I hear the mocking cheers. And screams of horror.
I was there this morning. I saw them accuse Him. Witnessed the sentence, the whipping, the mocking, the spitting, and the carrying of the cross to this place of death.
I see Him now, see the twelve inch spikes. the falling hammers, the flowing blood. And hear the screams echo throughout the valleys. And yet no scream parts His lips. Through it all, He has remained unmoved. Mocking the mockers with His silence.
They drop the cross into the hole. I hear the cracking of bones, and the cries and pleas from those around me. As He hangs there, I hear him speak to His brother, the other accused, And God.
As I look, His eyes meet mine and for one moment I see the pain, the love, the restraint within them.
And then I hear "It is finished."
And lightning splits the sky assunder. Thunder, rain and darkness fall like death angels. Washing the dirt from His wounds. Cleansing the filth from His body.
The others have left now. I stand alone. And as I pause before this one condemned, I realize His innocence and my guilt.
The blood that mingles now, with mud and rain, cleansing the world of its sins, was shed for millions He never knew. He died for me.
And as I look to find my path down the dark, lonely hill, I shed a single, burning tear. And then without a sound, I turn and slowly walk away. |

The person above me has made me jealous with her ease in acquiring whole Quahog shells. |

QUOTE (Dogshirt @ 22-Aug-2006, 11:19 PM) | Yes, it is. But then nothing is ever as grand as the things nature creates. We have a beautiful agate that is only found in a small area of our county. It is called the Ellensburg Blue and comes in shades of blue from sky blue to "new jeans" blue. It is hard to find even in the area where it IS found, but people come from all over to look for it.

Wow Dogshirt. That is a beautiful stone!!! I was speaking of shells so I assumed you were too, but this agate is a precious stone. One website I found commented this.... First discovered by the Kittitas Indians who inhabited the area, and in 1913 offered this advice on finding the agates, one should “Walk with the sun over your left shoulder.” Have you had much luck in finding this stone? |

No, I dont like seafood. I love the sea, but would rather have a slab of cow to eat. I've only found a few whole shells and the broken pieces have become harder to find lately. What do you all do with the shells once you eaten the muscle? |

Several years ago I was on the beaches of the Outer Banks. A lady approached me and told me a short history of the Quahog shell. From that point on I searched for the beautiful purple pieces of shell and have acquired quite a collection of it. Isnt it a beautiful shade of purple? |

Allen honey, I seem to remember a poem that you wrote when I was just a wee little one. The one that was published in the news paper. If you've forgotten it, I HAVE A COPY!! Remember, the one about the day of the crucifiction? It's very powerful and I've kept it with me everywhere I go. It hung at work for 8 years and it will go with me to my new job. Next time I see you, I'll make sure you have a copy of it. Cant believe you forgot that one. |

Am I trying to get some posts under my belt? Do you all know how much your support for my brother means to me?? Do you know that I love how much he loves this site? Am I warming up to this place? OK, why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway? |
