Existing Eternally As He Does

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 […]

Hope 100 Is Sort of Right!

“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, […]

Thoughts on God and Hugh

(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 […]
