How To Get Your Aigs Cooked With A Side Dish Of Love

I brung home some bacon and a dozen aigs -
And told wife to git to the stove -
To make me some breakfast and real black coffee -
And she told me NO!, by jove -

My brain went to reelin' from what I was feelin' -
'Cause she ain't never said no before -
I guessed she was havin' one of her spells -
So I turned and went out the door -

I took my bacon and dozen aigs -
Down to the local cafe -
And asked waitress Shirley if she'd be so kind -
To fix my breakfast that day -

With a whoop and a holler she grabbed my collar -
And asked if I'd done gone plumb nuts -
I told her no - though I was a stranglin' -
Because on my neck I had fingernail cuts -

She told me women are more than just cooks -
That they needed some hard lovin' too -
Well, it got me to thankin' so I gathered my aigs up -
And run right home to my sweety poo -

I kissed my wife 'till her hair was on fire -
And since her hair was on fire ...
I cooked my bacon and a few of my aigs -
I dare anyone to call me a liar

Are You Ready?

READ: Hebrews 4:1-7

Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts. —Hebrews 4:7

It was a wild night for our family. At 11:30 p.m., I got a call from my son Steve. “Dad, I’m going to Iraq.” “Right now?” I asked in disbelief. “Yes, I’m ready to go.” Earlier that day, our Navy corpsman (medic) son had told me he thought it would be several months before he would go.

We talked a little more until he had to hang up. Then family phone calls followed as we let his sisters know what was happening. They called him to wish him well and pray for him—and that was it.

A couple of restless hours later, Steve sent a text message: “We’re not going. We’re headed back.” A helicopter ride to another state and back was the extent of Steve’s trip that night, but it was still a valuable experience. It tested their readiness. The military had to know that when the call came, the corpsmen would be mentally ready to go.

When it comes to being ready for eternity, we won’t get that kind of practice. No one knows when we will depart this earth through death or be called home at Jesus’ return.

If you were called into eternity today, would you be prepared to meet God face-to-face? Have you opened your heart to Him? (Heb. 4:7). Are your sins forgiven? Are you ready to go?

Ready to speak, ready to warn,
Ready o’er souls to yearn,
Ready in life, ready in death,
Ready for His return. —Tillman

God’s call may come at any time—so be ready all the time!

Bible in One Year: Job 4–6; Proverbs 11:12-21
