Author of A Time To Kill
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 […]
Well, He’s more than a BFFL;He’s the Judge and Lord of the worldAs well as your Savior from hell.Indeed He can be your “friend” –Yes, your Best Friend For Life.But unlike fine folks, like your wife,He is the Creator and Lord of the universe.He rules the world and calls he shots,Calling you from greed and […]

Robert Lawrence Smith in his “A Quaker Book of Wisdom” notes that he fought in WW II but thinks, nevertheless, that pacifism is a good thing. Uh . . . What part? The idea of sitting by and letting Nazis murder Jews did not, thankfully, sit well with him. Hmm. Any other such atrocities worth […]
Like a Hurricane Washing Over Me! Indeed, His grace is sovereign; Left to ourselves, no one would choose Him! Give, then, pure, unadulterated thanks!

Hands on the wheel Not just “lifted high”! And when I fight, I’ll get off my knees! With my hands on the wheel,I’ll drive Your Truth before men.Help me do it, thenWhether free or in the pen.Your ways are not ours;Not just about drinking wineAnd sniffin’ flowers. 1535 on 8 Aug., 2023

In history was something you were born into, Or that you earned. It was not something that you claimed! It is a status that we, Americans, take for granted;We are accustomed to the status of a citizenWho has precious, blood-bought rights,And we bask in this condition as drunkardsUnaware of its origins or its providers.Spoiled brats […]
