From whence arrived the praying mantis?
From outer space, or lost Atlantis?
I glimpse the grim, green metal mug
That masks this pseudo-saintly bug,
Orthopterous, also carnivorous,
And faintly whisper, Lord deliver us.
-The Praying Mantis by Ogden Nash

Thanks! Do you have something that has happened to you that is a little Miracle but might go unnoticed by someone else? Love to hear it!

Not like that. You will probably think I am crazy, but around seven years ago, I picked up a spirit friend. He has become part of the family.

Ugh! ME think YOU are crazy?! LOL That's rich. I'm jealous! That sounds awesome! (I base that on the fact that you said "friend".) My mom saw the ghost of a sea captain rocking me as a baby. My dad and grandma saw a ghost that looks like James Dean out here. I absolutely believe it! Man, he's been around longer than some of my friends!
