Let It All Hang Out-The Hombres-1967
-
A preachment, dear friends, you are about to receive
On John Barleycorn, nicotine, and the temptations of Eve...
No parkin’ by the sewer sign
Hot dog, my razor’s broke
Water drippin’ up the spout
But I don’t care, let it all hang out
Hangin’ from a pine tree by my knees
Sun is shinin’ through the shade
Nobody knows what it’s all about,
It’s too much, man, let it all hang out
Saw a man walkin’ upside down
My T.V.’s on the blink
Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
Sorry ‘bout that, let it all hang out
Sleep all day, drive all night
Brain my numb, can’t stop now
For sure ain’t no doubt
Keep an open mind, let it all hang out
It’s rainin’ inside a big brown moon
How does that mess you baby up, leg
Eatin’ a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
Don’t stop now, baby, let it all hang out

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how is your new guitarist doing? Mastered all the parts and pieces? Learning notes?

We Need Jesus’ Help

Read: John 15:1–8

Apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

The day finally came—the day I realized my father wasn’t indestructible. As a boy, I knew his strength and determination. But in my early adult years, he injured his back, and I realized that my father was mortal after all. I stayed with my parents to help my dad to the bathroom, assisting him in dressing, even guiding a glass of water to his mouth—it was humbling to him. He made some initial attempts to accomplish small tasks, but admitted, “I can’t do anything without your help.” He eventually recovered to his strong self, but that experience taught both of us an important lesson. We need each other.

And while we need each other, we need Jesus even more. In John 15, the imagery of the vine and the branches continues to be one we cling to. Yet one of the other phrases, while comforting, can also strike at our self-reliance. The thought that can easily creep into our minds is, I don’t need help. Jesus is clear—“apart from me you can do nothing” (v. 5). Christ is talking about bearing fruit, like “love, joy, peace” (Galatians 5:22), those core features of a disciple. To bear fruit is the life Jesus calls us to, and our total reliance on Him yields a fruitful life, a life lived to the Father’s glory (John 15:8). — John Blase

The prayer “I can do nothing apart from You” is simple and powerful. What situations are you facing today that need prayer? How can you rest assured that God is with you and loves you?

Father, I can do nothing apart from You.

Bible in a year: Psalms 68–69; Romans 8:1–21

Good evening, lee martell...every other Thursday. What would you like to hear THIS evening?

[Right Wing Vegan]

Anyone active in the military stationed overseas wanting a cool stuff package from the US, just be the first one to message me with “Let’s go Brandon”.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...nice weather, still growing garden?

[lightman]

Sweet pepper harvest underway...just a trickle but soon will be a torrent.

Plenty of green tomatoes awaiting ripening.

[lee martell]

Hi Kathy. Thank you for explaining or maybe reminding me of that Thursday schedule.
What would I want to hear, of share for now?

Well, how about 3 songs that were heard at my High School Prom of 1974:

Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynrd

We’ve Only Just Begun by The Carpenters.

Be Thankful For What You Got by William DeVaughn

Have a good evening, Kathy.
