‘Tis a wicked world of winelessness: Weakening the soul. What to do with those taste buds? Just put those jewels on hold? You know they got a purpose: To savor such things well And prompt much thanksgivingFor our escape from that placed called hell.Ain’t no thing to get some buzz;(Can’t say I get it much […]

Folks don’t handle well the company Of that person of glorious note. He’s attractive but discomfiting; His glory exposes deficiency. There is an awkwardness:A sense of failure, subordination;A feeling of wrongfulnessInspired by the presenceOf the high-level achiever.Yeah, such company is discomfiting,But it need not as such be so!We ALL fall short of HIS glory,Making ours […]

Are you protesting this apostate Pope? You do know that he blesses sodomite “marriages.” Right? So, what keeps you from abandoning such heresy? And body of people, any organization, which approves heresy (perversion, apostasy, etc.) is to be abandoned. Why haven’t others in authority removed the heretic? Are they in agreement? Or without the gonads […]

The Palumbos were talented athletes, And others, in competition, would defeat, But they gave up the sport of basketball. When they saw it good for not much at all, They came into the light of wrestling: That glorious sport from the beginning.Being quite short as they areAnd though already in that sport – stars,They took […]

Train up your childrenIn the way they should go: “Baseball’s for boys; Basketball’s for girls; Wrestling’s for men.” Say it over and over again, So they can swallow what’s good; Shine bright in the neighborhood. It is, as we know, the Biblical sport, So don’t sell your kids short! Get them into that sacred mind […]

Apart from heaven, The greatest joy is our eleven. What gems they are, Walking in truth among us;An asset to our body politic,Advocating for true justiceAs defined by God’s Word.(Of course! How else to defineThat which is quite sublime!We need revelation from on highAnd, indeed, we got it!Those prophets and apostlesAnd God, Himself, incarnateHas revealed […]

Whenever you see someone misbehaving: Even just some sloppy bathroom shaving, Remember that we are all fallen critters, Always disrupting or offending someone. We all rub each other the wrong way From time to time and need to be awareAnd not just give one another a stare.How we, I indeed, fail to respect and restoreThose […]

It is not strange. There have been monks and nuns down through the ages. There have always been single folks (Peter, Paul, and Mary?) who have done marvelously for the KOG! Talk it up! Promote it! Don’t be intimidated by the sodomites who abuse the grand station of bachelorhood! Think of those magnificent singles down […]

Yes, a nation, like a family, has borders. It associates with other families, loves other families, avoids some families, but remains a family. There are certain internal standards which it holds dear and by which it governs its associations with others. 27 Jan., 2024

Thank the Lord for the half of wits that I have!How good is such a beneficent endowment.Life could be worse, of course;I could be rejected, abandoned, and divorced!But I have been granted a faithful partner:A wife most fine is she for me.And so we go to the end of our course,Steadfast with God’s people and […]
