Matt is to Matthew What John is to Johann, So be cool and casual When dealing with a name;Don’t concern yourself with fame.That will come if it is dueDespite anything you may do.Let your name be made by your deedsNot the pursuit of your egoist needs.It’s His name you must liftLest you get caught in […]

“Is your new guru smarter than your father?” one might ask, To which the child might say, “Indeed he is.” “And does he love the truth as well as he?” To which the child might reply, “Indeed!” “Then by what standard will you judge a proposition? Have you a means of coming to some decision? […]

The nation belongs “under God.” So when it is obscured by the fog And its glory is sullied and paled, Its righteous ones scorned and jailed, Ours is to call it back to its origin: A people “indivisible” and “under God”!Maintain the truth for the next generation;You have children inheriting your nation.What will it be […]

Thinking of that time when we are up there with the Lord. He is with a body but we are not! We are, indeed, happy to be with Him, But we are missing that glorified body that He has! We lack nothing and yet we want to be like HimIn EVERY way and still wait there […]

So, what to do with that “mate”? Well, either get married or don’t. But no sense in draggin’ on a thing If to no truth you are gettin’ that ring. What is the intention? Is there integrity found in him?Got a goal to serve the KingAnd walk in that integrity?Ain’t no small thing to do […]

Oh, the beach! Where pure is the air And the family is there! The ocean cleans our bodies (And serves as our potty). Kids are rolling in water and sandAnd we are our own band.We may get a little burned,But long ago we learnedThat the fun was worth it all.Then it’s back home ’til fallAnd […]

Tryin’ to live your own way, Puttin’ off Jesus for another day. Not going to be workin’ for you too good When up before Him you are stood,Facing the One who died for youWhile you found something else to do!O fool! What were you thinkin’?!?!Down below you’ll be stinkin’Along with lots of blasphemersAnd a whole […]

Remember, children are your primarily ASes They are, indeed, your Agents of Sanctification. Yes, they are a blessing to the world as well;(Christian children lead others away from hell).But they do refine their parents by the trials they bring,Driving them with others in church praises to sing,Thanking Him for Sunday relief and hope for the […]

Children are a blessing Coming down from above. (Can’t think of one thatWe didn’t love!)Got to keep ’em comingIf He keeps on giving!Which of His giftsDon’t you want?What have you got to flaunt In this world anyway?Wealth? Prestige? Ease? Position? Just what is your supposition? Believe what is said in His Word? Well those cahonies […]

Ladies naggin’ and fightin’ with their men Is the way some go ’til the end. But the Lord has given me grace;A life with an action-packed pace. My Jayne is a woman on the move;Makin’ things happen and stayin’ in the groove.She’s a cheerleader at heart;Gives my day a good start.So glad the Lord made […]
