PSALM 59:1,2,16,17
                                                        
                                         Deliver me from my enemies
                                            O my God
                                               Defend me from them 
                                                  that rise up against me

                                         Deliver me from the workers
                                             of iniquity, and save me
                                               from bloody men

                                         I will sing of thy power
                                            Yea, I will sing aloud
                                          of thy mercy in the morning
                                             for thou hast been my defence
                                                 and refuge in the day
                                                    of my trouble

                                          Unto thee, O my strength
                                            will I sing
                                              for God is my defence
                                                and the God 
                                                  of my mercy

                                                     SPRING SLIDES DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDES

                                       The snow is melting
                                       Green grass is showing
                                       Slowly spring slides 
                                       down the mountain sides
                                       and takes us from
                                       our winter's ride
                                       Slide, spring, slide
                                       Don't stop now
                                       Come on into view
                                       As humming birds take wing
                                       Let the mockingbirds sing
                                       Let there be joy in the budding       
                                       and rejoicing in the blossoms
                                       of spring's flowers everywhere
                                       And at eventide
                                       Let the full moon shimmer
                                       O let the full moon
                                       shimmer, all the while

                                       (Written on April 30, 2015,
                                        my wife's, Donna's, birthday)

NO DENTAL FLOSS

                                                                 NO DENTAL FLOSS
                        
                                     Recently, we kept an 8:00 am dentist
                                     appointment. We were in the chair for 8
                                     minutes and the cost was sixteen dollars.
                                     That's two dollars a minute!
                                      
                                     Later, as we reflected on this canine incident
                                     we asked ourselves, "How much would
                                     we be willing to pay to have all of our spiritual
                                     cavities filled and our sacred teeth in perfect
                                     working condition?

                                     What would we be willing to pay to have
                                     our souls as clean as a hound's tooth?
                                     Would we be willing to accept newfangled
                                     ideas?
                                     Listen now, let's get serious.  It's time we 
                                     stopped chewing the fat.
                                     Now is the time to drill out all that's
                                     rotten and decayed within our souls.

                                     Bicuspid, now's the time to be clean mouthed
                                     and clean hearted. Because...

                                     There ain't no dental floss in heaven.

PSALM 58:1,10,11
                                                        
Do you indeed
speak righteousness
O congregation
Do you judge uprightly
O ye sons of men

The righteous shall rejoice
when he seeth thy vengeance
So that a man shall say
Verily there is a reward
for the righteous 
Verily
He is a God
that judgeth
the earth

                                                 Guide my feet
                                                 Both night and day.

PROSECUTION BY LEAK

4/24/2015

                                                     PROSECUTION BY LEAK              

                                       All we did was innocently, and, somewhat
                                       jokingly, remark: "Don't listen to your mother,
                                       kids, she doesn't  know what she's talking about."
                                    
                                       That did it!

                                       Said our wife, "I deplore your prosecution by leak,
                                       and believe it is beginning to undermine the confidence
                                       needed in the governing of our family."

                                       "What? What did you say?"
 
                                       "It's not fair of you to bandy about unsubstantiated,
                                       erroneous allegations right in front of your own children."
         
                                       "I thought I had placed our conversation in a 
                                       a confidential context," we said.

                                       "Confidential? Your voice was twice as loud as the
                                       TV. If I didn't know better, I'd almost  believe you
                                       have a siege mentality."

                                       "Have you been reading the Washington Post again?
                                       Listen, we made a dumb mistake, that's all."

                                       "I certainly agree with that analysis," said our wife.
                                                            
                                       "We apologize."

                                       "Thats all right dear. It was probably just an
                                       overreaction on your part, based on our close
                                       relationship. As far as I'm concerned, it is forgotten."

                                       "Ah, you're very gracious. And, I'll promise, on
                                       a stack of Bibles, that it'll never happen again...
                                       (At least not this week!)."

                                       "What did you say?"
 
                                       "Nothing, dear!"

                                    PSALM 57:1,5,9,10
                                         
                                         Be merciful 
                                         unto me
                                         O, God
                                         Be merciful
                                         unto me
                                         For my soul 
                                      trusteth in thee
                                               
                                              Yea
                                 In the shadow of thy wings
                              will I make my refuge
                             until these calamities
                            be overpast
                                 
                                  Be thou exalted,
                                     O, God, above the heavens
                                        Let thy glory be above
                                        all the earth
                                          
                                   I will praise thee, O, Lord
                                        among the people
                                           I will sing unto thee
                                        among the nations
                                   For thy mercy is great
                                                 unto the nations
                                               and thy truth
                                            unto the clouds

GOLDEN GLOVE AWARD 

4/16/2015

0 Comments

 
                                                                      
                                                    GOLDEN LOVE AWARD

                                     
 Some say there are no more modern day
                                       heroes, but we we think there are literally
                                       thousands in our country, today.
                                                                  

                                       Brooks Robinson is an excellent case in
                                       point. His 16 Golden Glove Awards and his 15
                                       All-star performances will someday be duly noted
                                       in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

                                       But, if there was a Golden Love Award,
                                       Brooks probably should be its first modern day
                                       recipient.


                                                      For he gave millions of fans a love of
                                       baseball when televised promotion of football
                                       was on the ascendency and when baseball 

                                       seemed to be heading for the showers.

                                       Brooks gave us a high-quality, dignified
                                       Christian witness on and off the field.

                                       In our record book, we believe Brooks is
                                       well deserving of the ...Golden Love Award. 


                                       (This article was written in 1977, when Brooks
                                       announced his retirement.)

PSALM 56:1,3,4,8,10,11,13

                                        PSALM 56:1,3,4,8,10,11,13
                                     
                                       Be merciful to me, O God
                                        The man would swallow me up
                                           He fighting, daily oppresseth me
                                     
                                     What time I am afraid, I will trust
                                                    in thee
                                                 In God, I will praise his word
                                               In God I will put my trust

                                              I will not fear
                                                what flesh can do unto me

                                               Thou tellest my wanderings
                                                  Put thou my tears
                                                     into thy bottle
                                          Are they not in thy book
                            
                                             In God I will praise his word
                                           In the Lord will I praise his word
                                          In God I have put my trust
                                                      I will not be afraid
                                                          what man can do
                                                        unto me, for thou hast
                                                      delivered my soul
                                                           from death
                                           Will thou not deliver my feet
                                                           from falling that I
                                           may walk before God
                                                           in the light 
                                           of the living
