Existing eternally as He does, The Triune God needs no one. Complete as both object and subject, This Love is eternally content. So why, to our wondering eyes, Did He make creatures like you and me? Had a plan which had to do with glory, And we are all part of that story. We live […]

“God is never in a hurry,” Says CJ McKay on Hope 100. That’s right, but my kids aren’t God And neither are their parents, So they got to move and get ‘er done, Lest they get a spankin’ on the bum! And yet, the admonition is welcome. Slow down when you are anxious for nothing, […]

When you think of your failures Turn your thoughts to the Savior. If for your sins you have cried, Remember that One who died. He took it all and went down All the way dead and to the ground. He took on Himself all your pain But it did not long on Him remain. He […]

Parents, indeed, of twelve we are; Anastasia will not be forgotten. Four months she was in the womb; We could have used another good girl! But our Lord does according to His will (Sometimes it is other than a thrill.); He gives, indeed, and He takes away. And what against Him would we say? What […]

He’s got all time as well as this day To bring your life into conformity With His law in all its enormity. He made the world out of nothing And is quite able to handle our bucking. Onward and upward we ever go Always remembering, ever in the know: He’s got our lives in His […]

“Why should the devil have all The good music?” crooned Larry! He sang it out and made us merry! (Sayin’ “Amen” to that song! Where was contemporary Christian music? Nowhere to be found; Needed Gospel lyrics to that sound!) Got a station playin’ it fine “The Oasis”! ’tis called – 105.9. But then I got […]

So stay strong in the truth and don’t goof! Got to keep on top and don’t drop Off into some crazy communism Where someone else pays the bill While you eat and swill All the juice loose from those who work Collecting that welfare while others are taxed. Why should they be breaking their backs? […]

‘Twas early six ante-meridian And I was waking by the light As it peered through the blinds Of my window and the thought Of angelic beings came to mind. They were peering down anxiously, Excitedly, from a great balcony in heaven Trading glances with one another In anticipation of their descent. 0635 on 19 October, […]

A Place Fit For (Fools, Ignoramuses, Rebels, and Egotists) What, essentially, is a sinner? A person fit for the fire, A Foolish, Ignorant, Rebellious Egotist; One who the worship of God resists.He imagines himself in need of no God; Thinks there’ll be no eternal rod;Passes off Jesus as a piece of lore; Ignores Him like […]

(A.k.a. “A War with Nature”) Trapped that skunk and dragged His mammalian ass into the pond Where he met his doom and drowned! No more stinkin’ up our house; We trapped your ass like a mouse! Put you down under that water; You’re done bein’ a master farter! But, really, I’m sorry, little skunk; It’s […]
