(A reflection prompted by a popular Christian song) “There’s gonna be a brighter day” – Correct! “There are gonna be some brighter days” – Correct! “There’s gonna be some brighter days” – WRONG! (And that’s the popular song! Teaching bad grammar to millions of naïve children . . . and parents!) Grammar police at your […]
No, Baby, I’m not givin’ you excuses! I’m truly sufferin’ from presbycusis! That memory fails me time an’ again; Can’t remember my chores and then I get on to doin’ somethin’ else And before you know it I forgot Again what I was supposed to do! Now, don’t tell me you’re through! I’ll be good. […]
Died and went to hell, waitin’ for the “rapture.”Thought he’d wait and see that evidence And then put his faith square on the Lord. (Didn’t want to waste time with Christians and get bored.) Well, ’twas a shame it turned out such a way, That in pain he’s gonna spend many-a day And many-a night […]

“Kid got kicked off the team for vaping!” “What?!? Whom did he rape?” “I said he was VAPING!” “Vaping!? What’s that?” “You know, suckin’ in some air! Through a pipe-like thing; It’s kinda like smokin’.” “Nah, who would do such a thing!?” “Well, a fellow might get sick, ya know!” “I mean who would kick […]
So-called “clinics” Where the heathen Gather with other cynics Who deny the image of God In every human being. (As we know from God’s word Taking us beyond the seeing, Each one from conception Is a soul made for eternity.) Let these places be damned That with death are crammed, As they admit those with […]
(Inspired by Job 38) From time to time evil creeps in Upon a people in the din of sin. “They darken counsel By words without knowledge;” Minds blinded by Lawless freedom, But open to any fool to lead them. O fools! Do you need a plague? Some blood, frogs, gnats, and flies? It’s what you […]
Kicked off the wrestling team for “vaping”? Yeah, not raping . . . V-A-P-I-N-G! Pretty dog-gone harsh and down-right cruel to us spectators. Why should we fans be punished for such a simple “offense”? Not to mention screwing over a kid’s wrestling scholarship opportunities. Any discipline for students who blaspheme or disrespect teachers in class? […]
