Didn’t bring him into that holy place But into the field; he was a leper, And Jonathan, his son, took his place. Had a mom, Jerushah, daughter of Zadok; Only sixteen years old and he did right In the sight of the Lord as his daddy had done, (2) While the people kept on in […]

Extol those “bombers” a bit; Just give them that laud That is due From each of you. Don’t need your money Or your praise; Just telling you about your duty. And since we’re associating And trying to do the right thing In all realms of living the life, This is just one of those […]

(2 Chron 26:22) The Day of the Lord will be rough! The heathen will plea, “We’ve had enough!” And those apostate Christians gonna fry Gonna pay for tellin’ all those lies! “The pride of man will be humbled And the loftines of men will be abased. For the Lord alone will be exalted.” (17) The […]

Uzziah was just sixteen years old (Had to say it twice in the Chronicles; Must have been a record for the books!) Built Elath and restored it to Judah; Kept the people from going after Buddha Or any of the other fake gods. Made momma Jecoliah right proud! Broke down the walls of Ashdod; (6) […]

I’m a fan of “balliberation”; Like to let those jewels swing. Freedom is the way of salvation From a life of cramped gonads. I remember those days of jocks; Worse than in the summer wearin’ socks. Folks way out in the East With garments hanging to the ground May have something on us Western boys; […]

A.m. 8 Dec., 2021 Uzziah was a mighty fine warrior Just sixteen when he became king! (Yeah, the Chronicles recorded it twice) [1,3] And did right in the sight of the Lord, Just like his daddy – before he backslid, (4) But he prospered while he did the right thing. (5) Went to war against […]

Bob Dole went the way of all flesh (We’ll all be humbled by death.) Knowing the truth and living for it Is all that really matters in the end. Did you shine in that political light? And did you do what you knew was right? Did you stand for justice and truth? How about those […]

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, […]

And we live with those choices; Got to bear responsibility; It is a feature of being human. The right choice can exult, Even expand one’s pleasure; The wrong may bring a joy For the moment and fake treasure, But will take one down that road Of misery, destruction and despair. So pick! Choose what is […]

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 […]
