Handydandy - Bob Dylan
Handy Dandy, controversy surrounds him
He been around the world and back again
Something in the moonlight still hounds him
Handy Dandy, just like sugar and candy
Handy Dandy, if every bone in his body was broken
He would never admit it
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says
“Strike up the band”, they hit it
Handy Dandy
Handy Dandy
You say, “What are ya made of?”
He says, “Can you repeat what you said?”
You’ll say, “What are you afraid of?”
He’ll say, “Nothin’ neither live nor dead”
Handy Dandy, he got a stick in his hand
And a pocket full of money
He says, “Darling, tell me the truth, how much time I got?”
She says, “You got all the time in the world, honey”
Handy Dandy
Handy Dandy
He’s got that clear crystal fountain
He’s got that soft silky skin
He’s got that fortress on the mountain
With no doors, no windows, so no thieves can break in
Handy Dandy, sitting with a girl named Nancy
In a garden feelin’ kind of lazy
He says, “Ya want a gun? I’ll give you one”
She says, “Boy, you talking crazy”
Handy Dandy, just like sugar and candy
Handy Dandy, pour him another brandy
Handy Dandy, he got a basket of flowers
And a bag full or sorrow
He finishes his drink, he gets up from the table he says
“Okay boys, I’ll see you tomorrow”
Handy Dandy, Handy Dandy, just like sugar and candy
Handy Dandy, just like sugar and candy
Abraham, Martin and John

Read: Psalm 112
In the African country where my friend Roxanne lives, water is a precious commodity. People often have to travel long distances to collect water from small, contaminated creeksleading to sickness and death. Its difficult for organizations like orphanages and churches to serve the people because of a lack of water. But thats beginning to change.
Through Roxannes leadership and the unselfish gifts of some loving people in established churches, clean water wells are being dug. At least six new wells are now operational, allowing churches to be centers of hope and encouragement. A health center and a home for 700 orphans will also be able to be opened because of access to water.
Thats the kind of love that can flow from believers in Christ when we have experienced the love and generosity of God. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13 that if we dont have love, our voices clang on peoples ears and our faith means nothing. And the apostle John says that if we have material possessions and see others in need and take action, thats evidence that Gods love is abiding in us (1 John 3:16).
God desires that we deal graciously (Ps. 112:5) with those in need, for His heart is gracious toward us.
Anybody mention a little tune about Elizabeth Reed yet?

I’ve always liked Eva Taylor. And her hubby too. He was born in Plaquemine, La., if I recall correctly.
I read somewhere that "Elizabeth Reed" is a real person but had no connection to anyone in the band. They got her name from a headstone in a cemetery near a place where the band used to hang out and play. LOL.
