    Your haiku is a bit of a song, you know. I love it.-- When you've time, would you read Yes, It's About Jesus--I revised by adding a bit at the top of the piece. I used the adjective "scary" but want to use "terrifying".... but it is not my objective to scare people away from the idea I present. (Of course I did not INVENT the idea.) What would you do?
