I enjoy sharing a few things in my life that you might enjoy as well. Each Friday, I offer four reads, listens, learnings, or reviews and add a quote. Thanks for joining me on this week’s 4forFRIDAY.

A Reminder of Two of My Favorite Restaurants these Days:

My favorite dish? Sea Bass
DiPaulo on Holcombe Bridge Rd.

Another great Sea Bass when on the menu.
The Italian Pasta dishes are amazing!

I Love this Poem from Natalie Abbott
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you.” — Isaiah 26:3

You.
Promise peace, 
Purchased peace, 
Lavish peace.
In you, I have peace. 

But my heart will not.

It.
Frets, but boasts still,
Devours, though it’s ill,
Insatiable pit.
Ever deceiving, ever deceived.

Still I obey.

I.
Trust and yet tremble, 
Groping, I stumble,
Headless and hurling.
Ever consuming, ever consumed.

‘Til you pick me up. 

Again.
Pulling me in,
With mercy and peace,
Promised and purchased.
Perfect peace.

I fall to my knees.

Go in Peace, Chuck
