My Thoughts: How great is poetry, being able to speak from our hearts in a special way. God gave us a special talent. I took a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, not too long ago. Seen so many different places and things amazed me. The Salt Lake Temple, so big and beautiful. I was so amazed and blessed to have seen that. Even getting to see the Utah State Capitol. I am grateful for this trip because I saw and learned a lot. As a poet, this brings to mind, new and amazing poem ideas. We can even think outside the box for poems.

My Spiritual Thoughts: Moroni 7 12-13 Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually. But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.

The Amor of God

By-Mona Dais

Blessed with the amor that we have been given,

To protect us from the enemies’ plight.

Driven by the Scriptures might

Let our toungs be as swords

Cutting down the enemies’ doors.

And may heavenly father stand proud.

We are his children we have inherited his armor.

So suit Up and be strong be not afraid, because the battles as already been won.

The more we fulfill our promises to the Lord and do as we should. We are strengthening our Spiritual armor, so that when the time comes when the enemy chooses to attack us mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Our armor is strong enough to break through the lies that the Adversary Tries to tell us. Remember that the devil is a liar, and anything that goes against the word of god is a lie from the devil. Do not be afraid to fight back because when the Lord is on your side the battle is already.

The News: We have new members: Unlimited, Prince, and Mona Dias joined the team. Unlimited is doing the Site Weekly Poem. Mona is doing the Spiritual Thoughts. Prince is doing Shadow Poetry. Welcome Mona, Prince, and Unlimited to our crazy team. We also lost Aaron, Puda, and Magnificent for unknown reasons.

Want Help: If you want to help with “Pretty Petty Poetry”, you can! We are looking for some volunteers to help with the desktop wallpapers and getting us clients. We can’t do everything by ourselves anymore, too stressful.

For New Comers: This is AMANDA’S idea to do this business. Everything you see is her alone with the help from God. This is a part of “Pretty Petty Poetry”. She has been studying English with the help from a professor, Nancy Lowe, from Weber State University, Utah, USA since October of 2011.
