Family Matters

Some Practical, Earthly Counsel for the Common Man: When you trying to scoop out ice cream for the family and/or guests, use a big (or regular) fork! So much easier! You dig right in with easy penetration and pull out that ice cream as abundantly as any laboriously-driven spoon! Oh . . . it works! […]

“Balance” comes to mind as the ever-all solution to most problems. Selfishness may be at the root of both conditions. Why do we marry? And why divorce? We seek our own benefit, joy and wellbeing. Bottom line is the pursuit of our own good. But we must also seek justice with the glory of God […]

“Gender” is a grammatical construct. A boat-load of languages, such as German and Latin, have three: masculine, feminine, and neuter. But in biology, there are only two sexes: male and female (duh!). There is no neutral or “confused” or “bi-sexual.” Morally speaking, there is only dualistic heterogeneity (man and woman). Period. Homosexuality is a perversion. […]

(To Jayne) ‘Tis about this time of day After I meditate and pray That I put poems to the pen Expressing the product of my ken. Fleeting thoughts fly by And who can say why They come and quickly vanish (Like my retention of Spanish!). Do angels fly around and tease With distractions that do […]

God, the Father sent God the Son, the very Creator, down to join His creation and to participate in and accomplish its redemption. God, the Son, came down to dwell among His creatures. And after He accomplished our salvation through His death, The Father sent God, the Holy Spirit, to lead and guide us in […]

Talkin’ about that church Father of the first century. He and Polycarp were fellow disciples under John (the apostle). He writes to the Ephesian Christians warning them against false teachers. Of the “spirit of deceit” he says this in chapter nine: “He glorifies himself, for he is full of arrogance. He is lying, fraudulent, soothing, […]

(Isaiah 7) I’m on the path of the Alzheimerian Ridin’ down the road to oblivion, But I know the hearts of the heathen Will shake like the trees of the forest When they blow in the wind (2) While I am at rest in the arms of the Winner Who won the race for every […]

I’m on the path of the Alzheimerian Riding down the road to oblivion, But I know the hearts of the healthy “Will shake like the trees of a forest When they blow in the wind,” While they rest in the arms of the winner Who won the race for every sinner. Got confidence while lookin’ […]

Poor woman! Needs someone to police! Children out o’ the house gives her no peace! Got to have somebody to monitor; Over someone got to be an arbiter. Comes from years of oversight Child rearing takes all your might! Well, I offer myself to be bossed (Yes, I’ve counted the cost: Bills unpaid and gettin’ […]

Do you love truth, justice, and righteousness? “Good!” to those who answer, “Yes!” Now, do you hate that which contracts them? (I.e. lies, crime, and general wickedness?) Another good “yea!” due here. What do you do about him whom you love? You adore, nurture, and encourage him! And him (or the evil) whom you hate? […]

Concern for fame? Sounds kind o’ lame Given all that shame We all have in our sin, But I give it a think Even if I end in a stink. Not the undefeated state champ or Outstanding wrestler of the County; Not for takin’ Kathie Lee to the prom; Nor the siring of 11 model […]

He didn’t die for nothin’. He died ’cause justice was due On me and you! Buck up and repent: Put on your big-boy pants; You got a testimony to bear And for other people to care. You know on His patience you wear If irritating Him you dare; So what is your over-all plan? Make […]

May a boycott of Kroger go well; Such wickedness has help from hell. One wonders who was behind such folly To facilitate the murder of babies. But a voice of protest may awaken Fools who have justice forsaken, And mercy cast out the door, Facilitating the work of the whore Who would cover her sin […]

Well, “The Court” finally dumped Roe! Is that what you needed to know Before you could save a baby?Your mind and soul must be shady! Need a judge to authorize compassion (A bomb, a match, and some action)? Who gave the command to love one another? Is that one in the womb not your brother?We […]

If this is not the case, please advise. Otherwise, we must take our business elsewhere. Yours truly, Michael and Jayne Bray

Michael Bray found his way To listen to WGUC all day. A Michael Grayson is the host; Got some skills, givin’ it the most. “Who is like God?” (the meaning of “Michael”) Keeps that classical in the right cycle. It’s the sound of music we want But no perversion must they flaunt (Talkin’ about that […]

O for my poor sisters, who Took on the tri-syllabic affliction Of last names Pendergrass and Brunstetter! O for the loss of that simple mono-syllabic “Bray”! And yet, sisters, you must make a plea (In the name of women’s rights as necessary) To retain the simple and euphonic, “Bray”! Yes! Think, sisters, of the ink […]

Verse 1 I think I just watered down wine ‘Twas nothing less than a crime; I did not mean it! Tellin’ you true. Into the house post a walk Before a word I could talk, I poured some water into a glass. Took a quick taste and was burned Into a frenzy I turned About […]

Both my sisters took on the affliction Of tri-syllabic last names! Surely they have suffered great pain; T’was simple to indite that name, “Bray”! Four simple letters! An easy way To sign those papers or a check. But now, Oh! What the heck! B-R-U-N-S-T-E-T-T-E R !P-E-N-D-E-R-G-R-A-S-S! O, sisters, you got yourself in a mess! Sorry […]
