    #whyisitcalledahashtag {a #poem}

    ByJody Lee Collins October 30, 2012January 27, 2026

    #whyisitcalled a hashtag? and not a number sign as in “#3”? (or n-o period 3?) For that matter, why is it a “pound sign”? (as in “Please enter your password, followed by the pound sign?” (my son did not weigh 7#’s 3 oz. it was lbs., thank you.) You’re calling it a hashtag for tweeters…

    Playing Dress Up-Putting on Christ

    ByJody Lee Collins October 29, 2012January 27, 2026

    My grandchildren Abigail and Paul, ages 5 and 3, are inseparable playmates. Abigail most of the time wants to play some kind of Princess pretend–Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty–and Paul is very often decked out as a Princess as well. He is a good sport about dressing up. They take turns playing damsel in distress…

(but) A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12 NIV  ~~~~~~~ Here’s to the third cord, our Saviour, and to the twining of the two- my lovely daughter Leah and her husband William–held by Him.

    Strong Trees-A Marriage Poem

    ByJody Lee Collins October 23, 2012January 27, 2026

    Josh Groban is heavenly hollering “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” The sweet and gentle resolution of the violin and oboes slows me down to hear your soft love. Not the out loud from the rooftops kind, but quiet as the roots of a tree digging down in the dark, seeking support where we need it….

    In the God Seasons

    ByJody Lee Collins October 8, 2012January 27, 2026

    I glance up from my desk at the Infographic I drew last year.  It’s taped to the pencil holder. “One Year with God”I wrote across the top. The months are drawn in small squares around a hub like spokes in a wheel, a cycle of moments, days, weeks all adding up to a year. I…

    Atticus to Zeppelin

    ByJody Lee Collins October 7, 2012January 27, 2026

    Classroom photo, mine. 2012 “Recess teacher!!” That would be me and anyone else over 3 feet tall who has a whistle. “Hey guys, just so you know, my name’s Mrs. Collins”, flashing my cartoon-y fish logo with my fancy-ish name. “What’re your names?” “I’m Atticus, this is Zeppelin.” “Well, those are some pretty big names,” I…

    Truer Gifts

    ByJody Lee Collins October 3, 2012January 27, 2026

    Twelve minutes after two the blinking red face confirms as I waken wondering, why? I was so very tired and now I am N O T. the pulsing numbers push me back—a book, a bowl of cereal, a bending black case with another glowing face and I click and read, peruse the people saying something I…
