Kids, A Blessing
Got kids to take care of us in our old age. Didn’t get all that liberty and cheap living As others were spending money on themselves Living it up and running around – child free. We were rearing those kids and they do serve As a kind of insurance (uncompelled of course) For us oldies […]

Don’t Be a Mere Man!
Don’t be a mere man! You’ve been called to much more; A Temple you are with others, All kinds of sisters and brothers! You’ve go things to do (big time!); Don’t be dragged down by petty crime. Serve others, as well as kin in the Lord, With boldness like a lion with his roar. Go […]

“Silent Night” (Corrected)
Jesus, Lord at His conception!(No less than he was at birth) Yeah, He was Lord in the WOMB; He created all back in the day: King of the world even before incarnation, Even before Adam in the garden And the hearts of men were hardened! Yeah, God He is who came in flesh To get […]

Shining That Light
When a church shines real bright The devil gets all up tight; Comes prowling and growling, Looking to shut out the Truth; Might even knock out a tooth. Can’t let it cause you a fright; Stay awake and in the Light. You don’t live by ear and sight, Scared of that creature of the night; […]

Songs Are To Be Sung
Songs are to be sung When triumphs are won, But also in the mourning; Yes, in times of sorrow We may sing those dirges Wailing for what might have been. Regrets there will always be Until from sin we are free; That never ending Curse Afflicting until we do die. For us He was hung […]

Wanted to Whomp Those Southern Boys
2 Chron 25 Amaziah served the Lord with half a heart (2) Killed the servants who killed his daddy (3) But spared the kids in accordance with the Law (4) (Got to punish sin without messin’ with kin). Yeah, he rounded up the people of Judah; Spared the kids, not like those who follow Buddha. […]

Amaziah Didn’t Make No Sense
2 Chron. 25:10-20 Now, Amaziah didn’t make no sense! Had a win with the sons of Judah; Whooped up on those Edomites, (11)Then followed the gods of those he whipped! (15) What a fool! Was his mind unzipped? A prophet tried to show him his buffoonery, But he wanted a fight with Israel. (17) Said, […]

Biden (Or You) Got to Go!
Now, Biden is a Roman Catholic. Don’t know why they haven’t kicked him out; A sinner is sinner no matter that kindIf he keeps on keepin’ on with doin’ wrong. And the wicked, tolerated, pollute the throng, No matter how holy the rest may be; A body gets polluted by what it can’t see. But […]

“Boom!”
Oh, it’s a wonderful sound! An abortuary burnin’ to the ground. No longer is that “facility” “Oh, what a pity!” Say some folks quite sick (Unable to make a good pick Between Right and what is wrong; Confused, perhaps smokin’ that bong, Or blinded by that devil himself, Who would wife out the image Found […]

Greater Cause for Civil War Now
Greater cause for a civil war now With abortion clinic crimes Than there was for the War Between the states in former times. Blood flowin’ down the drains of “clinics”! “Families of size are the work of cynics” “Fools want to flood the population!” “Surplus people! Got to kill ’em!” “Got to force some sterilization!” […]

Like Scrooge
Like Scrooge you see PP would decrease The “surplus population.” Don’t want to overcrowd the planet With all those little babies: A burden on the ladies An’ spreadin’ rabies; Got to keep the world all clean! Might leave the factories lean Of workers and break economies, But don’t ya know its about the earth, And […]

Time Is a Grace
Time is a grace oft poorly stewarded; Seems to many to have no end. And so it is spent like inflated money And gone from the profligate spender.But tally time comes to all who breatheWhen the last breath is exhaledAnd the One who was nailedTo that tree and rose againFor every purchase ever made.Time, indeed, […]

2 Sam 11:27
(To be read with a tonal drawl) The thing David done was wrong And so came many-a song About chasin’ after wily women (It’s that story that keeps on givin’). It happens from year to year, Somethin’ you’re always gonna hear From time to time again Right to the very end. Don’t chase those nasty […]

Scrooge and Planned Parenthood
Like Scrooge, Planned Parenthood Would decrease the population; An asinine idea of Malthus (Another stupid Thomas, like “The Doubter,” Don’t ya know!). From the very limited view of a human, “The planet” (say it with reverence!) seems To have its limitations (You surely know!). The sixth of seven children. (Hmm. Would he rather Mom aborted […]

I Am; She Is
1 Dec., 2021 I am a selfish wretch; She is a gracious wife. I am the curse of sin; She is the grace of God, And goes about the day Without array and little pay Bringing in those bucks for us While I tap away some poetry Or notes of guidance for the world. I […]

The Next Termination
At the next termination There should be a celebration; (Love of life calls for such a thing!) Songs going forth, let the bells ring; Shout for joy and let us sing! Yes a baby’s life is saved! Many more gone from the door Blown away by such combustion. Ah, but there is no question; Lots […]

2 Chron 14:26-25:14 A son of the Moabitess Shimrith Murdered Joash right in his bed (25) Along with the son of Shimeath! Executed judgment right on his head. (24) Joash got just what was his due, A separated burial to rue. (25) Now the names of those who killed that lad Were Shemeath’s son and […]
