her patiently waiting for a bed time hug the night light by the bed gave the room a soft glow and the moon lit up the window i wonder if there is someone on the moon jenny whispered into the ear of jerry the monkey that had curled his long arms around her neck there was no answer of course but jenny continued to speak softly one day i want to fly in a rocket ship and visit the moon he looks so lonely way up there her voice faded and her eyelids drooped will you take me with you who said that me jenny turned to see all the animals smiling at her which one of you can talk all of us they said in unison but you re not real yes we are jerry loosened his hold and slid to her lap why do you think the moon is lonely jenny blinked rapidly before answering well look at him he just hangs there all night every night i never see anyone out there with him just like us he nodded to his friends who quickly nodded back betsy the cow mooed loudly we sit and watch the moon all night every night why jenny wanted to know jerry answered because you only take one of us to bed but there s no room for all of you i don t want anyone to fall out while i m sleeping oh it s ok really marty the rhino replied we like watching the moon too we re his friends they were all watching the moon when jenny heard another voice it s time you were in bed can i take my toys mum kissed jenny s forehead not all

with pain like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised and we held him in low esteem have you ever felt alone do you ever feel afraid have you ever been misunderstood or rejected are there rumours rising against you have there been lies told about you has someone broken your trust are you or a loved one in pain i think every one of us has experienced one or more of the above in some way or another i know i have and have been guilty of forgetting to hand everything over to the father when i was a much younger christian i often thought he just wouldn t understand but through his word and experiencing his grace i now know he does jesus encountered temptation fear and exhaustion he s been doubted questioned misunderstood insulted even betrayed and so much more he feels what we feel we can be confident and find understanding compassion and grace when we seek his presence and step into his throne room it s good to know that we can approach the throne of grace at any time day or night knowing we can do so with confidence that he will hear us isn t that awesome father thank you for being with us in our time of need help us to remember that whatever we have been through you have to teach us to read your word to find understanding compassion and your grace amen chrissy siggee scripture verses used are from the new international version of the bible first published

the mystery of keats missing endymion solved posted august 13 2026 filed under short fiction from the archives historian albert winslow sat at his desk in a sparsely furnished london office using two large wooden tweezers he gently unrolled the manuscript faded calligraphy on tea coloured paper revealed its age and fragility with a magnifying glass he studied the almost illegible signature confirming the author john keats winslow peered over the top of his wire framed spectacles he studied the gentleman sitting opposite who repeatedly wiped his balding head with a handkerchief sir where did you say you found this manuscript i didn t exactly find it it s part of my inheritance removing his spectacles winslow studied the man who was now fidgeting in his chair what did you say your name was kent michael kent mr kent this signature doesn t appear to resemble a kent it was handed down on my mother s side my mother changed my surname when she remarried i see leave it with me mr kent i ll have it valued for you by tomorrow leave your details with my secretary on the way out he rose and shook his client s hand winslow s secretary entered his office the following morning he looked up as she reached his desk miss harwich could you please place a call to lord david keats of hampstead give him my name and switch him through to my office give me a few minutes though i need to talk to scotland yard yes mr winslow it took just moments for lord keats s voice to be heard lord keats yes this is he i believe i have in my possession your great grandfather s missing manuscript endymion the line was quiet for so long that winslow thought he had been disconnected when suddenly lord keats continued how can that be it disappeared after he died in 1821 it s been almost a century yes i know i also know that your father lord alfred keats passed away last week my condolences thank you but how do you know and what does his death have to do with my great grandfather s manuscript your father paid me to know you see i m a historian and a private investigator your father visited me here in london on december sixth last year the manuscript had apparently resurfaced and he hired me to investigate its location i sent him a wire last monday about my findings before his heart attack did he mention it to you no and i m not sure why he would hire anyone until christmas my father and i had been investigating the mystery disappearance together for almost a decade winslow carefully chose his words before proceeding perhaps lord keats your father discovered he hadn t been told when someone had found it that someone decided to use it for his own financial gain what are you implying mr winslow let me refresh your memory two years ago your cousin michael kent inherited a meagre bequest while clearing out his mother s writing bureau kent discovered a key to a safe deposit box that contained a letter from his grandfather your grandfather s younger brother with that letter was your great grandfather s manuscript the letter described in detail how your grandfather cheated him out of his share of their father s estate your great uncle stole the manuscript after your great grandfather s death in 1821 before he could have it published are you following me lord keats continue mr winslow i find your hypothesis intriguing late last year your cousin decided it was time to show his hand by attempting to blackmail your father because your father didn t want his conniving nephew to get his hands on his money he came directly to me we thought it was an open and shut case until i discovered that michael kent had an accomplice someone who wanted revenge for an unrelated incident years before unfortunately that piece of information inadvertently killed your father the accomplice was you am i right lord keats you re very clever mr winslow there s one thing you haven t explained how did you get your hands on the manuscript that was the easy part after your father s death you and your cousin initiated plan b to sell the manuscript to a publisher and split the profit however your cousin decided to have it valued first unfortunately for you both he came to me i advertise my professions separately and i only display my name on the door there was another notable silence followed by a murmur of voices at lord keats end of the line you ll have to excuse me mr winslow apparently i have visitors ah yes my friends from scotland yard blackmail is a serious crime good day to you lord keats chrissy siggee authors notes this is a work of fiction names characters businesses places events locales and incidents are either the products of the author s imagination or used in a fictitious manner any resemblance to actual persons living or dead or actual events is purely coincidental english poet john keats born october 1795 in moorgate london died in february 1821 at the age of 26 from tuberculosis his works had been the target of much abuse including his last epic poem endymion john keats never married which should indicate that the contents of the mystery of keats missing endymion solved set in the early twentieth century is completely fictional archived

chapter and it s opening line says now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see if we look up the word faith in any dictionary we will read that it means to trust to believe and to be confident in something or someone without complete proof or evidence faith can be a deeply personal subject and if i were to ask everyone here today what faith is to you each of
