  Romeo and Juliet, who could remember? Who could forget? You put on a woman like you put on a smile. You wear her proudly till she’s out of style. You give her wings with simple words (I love you) Nothing the rest hasn’t already heard. You look in the mirror and like what you see, &...

• Confucius was confused.

  Sometimes I think hollyweird spies on normal people and then has ideas for making movies and shows. I'm pretty damn sure that the government spies on people for different reasons. Sometimes I think people in Hollyweird get into trouble so they branch out to find other people so they will be square...

• Thinking.........

  by Crystal Roeden June 29, 2020
  I've been listening to the news, forming my own opinions and feeling very still inside about it all. I wish that things were better in the good ol' USA and all around the rest of the world. I want to show you something:   Revelation 6: 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I sa...

  by Crystal Roeden June 25, 2020
  Things that SHOULD be: Sweat should translate into greenbacks that aren’t in the smallest denominations. Intellect should be heeded even when you don’t admire the person who possesses it. The merit of “love” should NOT be measured on a scale of how well a person can lie. ...

• How I became a drug dealer

  During most of my teen years I was an innocent person who smoked cigarettes, stole shots from my parent's liqueur cabinet and not much else.  When I got married before my high school graduation, it was to a man five years my senior.  He and his friends introduced me to pot and I loved it. ...

• Gold and silver

  by Crystal Roeden June 20, 2020
  When my second husband, David, took me to Utah, one of the first places he took me was to temple square.  We poked around, I loved the huge statue of Christ, but in the back, under glass, not exactly hidden but not really on display, was what appeared to be two bars of gold.  Immediately I...

• Middle age.....REALLY?!

  by Crystal Roeden June 20, 2020
    This is my husband John.  This is my favorite photo of him.  We've been married nineteen years, we've been seeing each other since my oldest was three months old.  We got married when she was two. John had some emotional baggage when we met, her name is Kaye.  I had so...
