“Almost Cut My Hair . . .” CSN & Y! It was quite a hit About bucking the norms. Fine. But what about moral norms? Law? Justice! Truth! Were there such To be honored and left to stand? Yes, there were! There are! The Law of God says “No!” to sodomy And the murder of […]

He’s got all time as well as this day To bring your ass into conformity With His law in all its enormity. He made the world out of nothing And is quite cable to handle our bucking. Onward and upward we ever go Always remembering, ever in the know: He’s got our lives in His […]

Cover your faces, Americans; Hook that mask from ear to ear! Been putting up with that baby killin’ For nigh on fifty years! Yeah, it really is quite shameful To go from day to day And leave an abortuary in the fray Undamaged and quite functional With its nasty in-utero operational “Procedures” leaving babies quite […]

2 Chron 26:16-28:3 The priests of the Lord were valiant men Under the rule of the prideful Uzziah Who gallfully entered the temple The place where only priests could go. Swiftly, they went after that intruder: “Not for you to burn incense!” they charged. Right in after him those men of God barged: (18) “You’ve […]

Death came to Hugh As it came to Matthew And will come to one and all. And while caught up in the thrall Of life’s actions and speculations, Best to focus upon relations, Especially with the Maker Rather than the Taker. O, the devil would have us fall For those “blessings” that come to all, […]

(20 Dec., 2021) Uzziah was strong and full of pride;Thought he could go where the priests abide,Right into that holy sanctuary!Oh! He was quite contrary!Azariah, the priest, came in after him;Said, “Just who do you think you are?” (18)Got smitten real good with the leprosy (19)And stayed that way ’til the day he died. (21)Fool […]

I do like those nuts and I like that butter But I don’t want no nuts in my peanut butter! No, sir! I want things decent and in order, And combinin’ those two just ain’t right! Ahm tellin’ true what a fellow got to do!; Forsake that phony and corrupt product; You got to have […]

Oh yeah! We love that right! Got to protect the “right to choose” whatever you want to do! Remember our ancestors who had that right (until it was taken away by those damned Yankees). Whip your slaves, feed your slaves, sell your slaves. You have the right to choose whatever it is you want to […]

Twelve feet long and eight feet high Spans the painting on the wall; Daughter Mercy made a tree of the family, Children’s names on all the branches. Quite a sight to behold as I sit And think and pray about the day, Thankful for the One who gave them to us; Blessings, indeed, were they, […]

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 […]
