I suppose I am one of a few Who have done time with the feds Both at an FCI place of “rest” And the USNA at Annapolis; Both housing clients with no rentAnd each having its own weird bent:Jail with a lot of noise was cursed;The Navy had folks competing to be first.But ’twas good […]

Slavery is no manstealing crime! You fall into debt, Can’t pay me a dime, You owe me your time! Manstealing is the thing forbidden, Indeed, by the Word, condemned! Do not slander the Word of God Which calls, sometimes, for the rod. Yes, the commands from God are good;Don’t by others be fooled!The Word of […]

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 […]

Where is the unity of the churches well displayed? Where but at the “crisis pregnancy centers” throughout the country? Those places which aid women who are carrying an unwanted or inconvenient child in the womb. When the real issues of truth and justice appear, the Churches of God – of all denominations – are in […]

Who is the True One But the Father, Spirit, and Son? Are you a Wierville Wayist A regular selfish sadist? A Watchtower Jehovah’s Witness? A practitioner of some physical fitness? A Smith-duped Mormon?Bow down to the True One!Forget the fools who droolOver pleasure and the swimming pool.Pursue justice! Make things right.Serve others with all your […]

Naw!!! Stop all this gymnastic, linguistic bullshit! You can say “mailman” or “chairman” or “policeman” or “serviceman” or reference plenty of other tradesmen and indicate a woman in that position! One need not get one’s knickers in a knot over the “man” terminology as if mankind excluded women folk! Don’t be maniacal! Man up and […]

A Reflection on Honoring God (the Father, Son, and Spirit) Imagine standing up before a general who enters a room, coming to attention and swiftly delivering a sharp salute, saying to him “Congratulations, Colonel!” All the formal, respectful display of honor and respect would have been wasted, indeed, turned into insult, rather than respectful acknowledgment! […]

(Tribute to Tom Condit) The restitution that I was to pay Was gone in a day! My case was reversedAnd into joy I burst. It was 46 months and 10 days, But the sentence was not through And to pay baby-killers, I could not do. Oh, but at the re-sentencing it was gone!Who did it? […]

If you will fight, get up off your knees; It is God, not the world, that you must please. He says to show your faith by your good works, So get out of your chair, my child;Your life is not going to be mild.You know faith without works isWorth less than a wiz.Talk is cheap, […]

Jesus is, of course, the enemyOf sinners, waiting for confessionAnd repentance from deadly selfishness.Let the sinner turn and avoid the burn!No. He’s not the “friend of sinners.”He died to get them off the burners,So stop with all the “friend of sinners”Bull and join with the winnersWho have been won by His graceAnd the sacrifice that […]
