So reports Life News: “Majority of Catholic Republicans Say Biden Should Not Receive Communion Because He’s Pro-Abortion” Well, “No shit!” I might say. What has taken “the majority” so long to figure that out? How about some basic Bible reading? Simple sound doctrine? Might some elementary church discipline be applied in the case of “Joe […]

The race baiters sleep not a wink Always ready to make you think That you are opposed to “people of color” And have no interest in others, But only your own flesh and brothers. And so they divide friends And set them at odds and ends, Squabbling and maneuvering for position To be acceptable in […]

When they said he was dead, they fled“Goliath done lost his head!”Yeah, he was dead. Gone the dread!All red with his blood on the ground,All around, with no life to be found,Food for the beasts and the hounds!Shame on those nasty Philistines!The killer was a man in his teens! Little man whipped up on a […]

The Lord will be between you and meSaid Jon to the king to-be Bowed three times and set himself free,They departed and Jon went into the city.David went to Nob, found a priest on the jobAhimelech was his name.“Why are you alone?”“Don’t you know you got no home?”“You got to get out o’ here!”So the […]

26 March, 2021 To what has the world come? There was more respect for a Vietnam vet coming home to a crowd of hippies in the 60s than there is for a clinic bomber coming to a church picnic. Not much power of discernment these days. Can’t figure out right from wrong. Do we […]

What can be said of forty and five? Walking and talking? Still alive? Got a house and a job and health By world standards great wealth? Eleven and fifteen without teens Lots of little ones on the scene Got plenty of spirit and words Pens and key board and like chords I type out tunes […]

A rather selfish fellow am I. Don’t like time spent in vain, Even with another person Who has no zeal for living That life to which we were called, Not the one we might like to make But the one to which to Savior Called us and bade us follow. And so there is always […]

The brain is a fount of activityDriven by the spirit of man inside.It calculates and decides the wayFor the body and deeds to follow.And there is yet another power in play,That very Maker and Redeemer of the race.He sends down His urgings and pleas And drives on his servants with ease. We live and move […]

My MT does her thing Bringing those drills And making me think! She dutifully comes to the door And performs her chore: Questions and answers . . . Well, I can’t remember, But the mind is worked By drills without pills. “Strategy” is the key! Need a technique to deal With the brain as it […]
