Still pictures of Clara Bow, the major silent movie actress, are featured in, "Sorry Seems To Be The hardest Word". Others are featured too, but Clara is the main one I have used.
To my Beloved -- the one and only love. ~ Ephesians 1:6
"My beloved is mine, and I am his.." ~ Song of Solomon 2:16
I can no longer fight him, my Lord. Neither have I the desire anymore. I have lost the battle.
Nevertheless, my Lord, remember Thou Thy servant, Elizabeth,
And Thy promises to her, that my prayers are effectual for
all those for whom I intercede with you. Whether those prayers
are effectual for this temporal world we live in, or whether they
are effectual for those for whom eternal life has been predestined,
according to they word. Amen.
Happy Valentine's Day.
