Here's one for Marissa...


Rules to Live By

God gives us rules to live by, but some of us ask, “Why?”
It doesn’t bother me at all -- I’ll know more when I die!
But you can guess some reasons, and love is at the root,
These rules are for the grown-ups too, cause kids are real astute.

Remember when you quote a rule, it’s one you’ll have to do.
The rules aren’t just for little ones, they’re for the grown-ups too.
So when you say, “It’s time for bed.” Don’t send them off alone,
But show them that you need sleep too, you’re weary to the bone!

Or how about, “Eat your vegetables!” Your plate will be their guide,
You’ll have to show a fondness for, the ones they haven’t tried.
And you can’t fake it. Oh, my no. You’ll have to clean it up.
But you must watch them also lest they feed it to the pup!

Sorry about this afternoon. Right after I posted my last post, I got a call. I had to work on a problem, and it took over an hour to fix. Then I had to tie up loose ends and pack up my stuff to go. My summer job is now over.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Something To Go With A Roll In The Morning

I know you think I’m lazy to just loll here in the sun,
But I get more energetic after all my snoozing’s done.
You should know of course that I can see you over there,
I think you look much better with your legs up in the air.

It reminds me of my favorite way of seeing food presented.
Fast food’s so inconvenient, I like running circumvented.
It really would be nice to have a Starbucks somewhere near,
Cause waking up is really tough about this time of year.

I’ve heard you have a trait that they call cur-i-os-i-ty,
So come a little closer, I know you think I’m rather pretty,
Any poker players out there? You can take a little gamble,
Just put the camera in its bag and then step up to feed the kitty.

My latest song!

”Lying is Their Norm”

Riders on the Storm



Lying is their norm.
Lying is their norm.
They’ve got two ears of corn..



They believe in porn.
Like two pigs upon a throne,
Their brains are made of bone.
Lying is their norm.




They’ve got buses on the road,
John Kerry’s just a slimy toad..
John Edward’s not okay,



They’re both acting gay.
If you give these men a ride,
We’ll all die inside.
Lying is their norm. Yeah!



Lying is their norm.
Lying is their norm.
They’ve got two ears of corn..



They believe in porn.
Like two pigs upon a throne,
Their brains are made of bone.
Lying is their norm.



Lying is their norm.
Lying is their norm.
Lying is their norm.

An Unbroken Chain

Read: 2 Tim. 1:1-7; 2:1-2

The things that you have heard from me . . . commit these to faithful men. —2 Timothy 2:2

Bible In One Year: Psalms 72-73; Romans 9:1-15


Whenever I meet a Christian for the first time, I'm interested in learning how he came to trust Jesus as his Savior. Each person has a different story to tell, but they all testify that they learned the truth because of the efforts of others—their parents, pastors, Sunday school teachers, Bible club leaders, friends, writers. Someone has rightly observed that the body of Christ grows through "an unbroken chain of teachers."

In today's Scripture we learn that Timothy became a believer through the influence of his grandmother Lois, his mother Eunice, and the teaching of Paul (2 Timothy 1:5; 2:2). The apostle told Timothy to become part of that chain and "commit these truths to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (v.2).

The "faithful men" Paul had in mind were probably church elders, yet he was expressing a principle that applies to every believer. We had to receive the truth from someone; now it is our gracious privilege and solemn duty to transmit that truth to others.

Think of yourself as a link in the living chain that extends from the time Jesus lived on earth to the present. We must keep that chain strong by telling others about Him so that the gospel will reach to future generations. —Herb Vander Lugt

Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord,
A passion to save the lost;
O that Thy love were by all adored,
And welcomed at any cost. —Tovey

The good news is meant to be shared.
