Oh my dear Christian friends,
I am not trying to be a hound,
But it would be so really great,
If I knew you had been around.
Well, it just gets so very lonely,
In my small corner of the net,
So leaving a like or comment,
Lets me know you didn’t forget.
We all need encouragement,
And quite frankly I’m the same,
So when you post a few words,
I at least know that you came.
T
hanks for your consideration,
I am not trying to be a big pest,
But now that I have said this,
To God will just leave the rest.

“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22, KJV
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10, KJV
“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.” Acts 17:28, KJV
“Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.” Nehemiah 9:21, KJV
“The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” Psalm 121:7-8, KJV
There are many other similar verses. Please also read all of Psalm 91.
So I went food shopping the other day,
Got my stuff and then went up to pay.
Afterwards I thot my total seemed high,
But I didn’t even bother to ask ‘em why.
Now later in the day it bothered me still,
Yet I did not look at that expensive bill.
Then during the night as I lay in my bed,
Thoughts of that total yet filled my head.
So I got out of bed and went to the trash,
To find out what happened to my cash.
I got the receipt & examined each thing,
Man oh man, it just didn’t make me sing!
Hershey’s kisses are my pleasure in life,
But why so more expensive than a wife?
Let me tell you dude, it just really sucks,
It was a two-pound bag for twenty bucks!
When I saw it I nearly went thru the roof,
Now how can I satisfy my sweet tooth?
I don’t shop often so well I bought three,
As you can imagine, I am feeling misery.
At this point I am not certain what to do,
Are my kisses eating days sadly through?
I deserve to have my one sweet pleasure,
Even if I truly spend beyond my measure.
I am an old man, my days are soon done,
So I’ll just keep on having my kisses fun.
It will be talked about for many years,
Precisely when the dam finally broke,
I am referring to that pivotal moment,
When on her sins she began to choke.
But as I sit here and give it some thot,
I think it was in the 50s when it began,
There was a shift in attitudes & music,
Because the Devil surely had his plan.
Like a stubborn weed in one’s garden,
A dark spirit of rebellion slowly grew,
If you were carefully paying attention,
Perhaps you also saw it growing too.
Now when rock n roll music appeared,
It shocked a more conservative crowd,
So unlike the music that was common,
It was certainly aggressive and loud.
Then along came the king Elvis Presley,
And tho they say Elvis hated the name,
A person can sometimes truly wonder,
If it was his pelvis that gave him fame.
Thus it is not very difficult to conclude,
That a liberal spirit crept into the land,
Sadly, some seventy years later today,
That wicked spirit is totally out of hand.
Next came the 60s generation & hippies,
Who wanted drugs and peace and love,
They protested against the government,
No more bloody wars or push and shove.
But it was also during that generation,
That the sexual revolution came to be,
One’s personal inhibitions were passé,
Those young people wanted to be free.
Now as the years continued to progress,
The music grew more rebellious & bold,
While sexual promiscuity & many drugs,
On this country took a strangling hold.
But that old serpent still was not happy,
Indeed, so greedy, he yet desired more,
Abortion, same-sex marriage and trans,
Were so carefully advanced to the fore.
Thus today we have a divided country,
It is split between the red and the blue,
So many rebel against God’s holy laws,
While His children strive to remain true.
Yes, it’s sad to say the dam has broken,
And a flood of evil is sweeping us away,
There really isn’t much that we can do,
Besides get down and desperately pray.
But God’s grace may be growing short,
How much rebellion should He endure?
Sooner or later His judgments will fall,
Because America is rotten to the core.
The other day I saw something lewd,
Oh yeah, man, it was just really crude.
I was in the lunchroom where I work,
When a young couple began to twerk,
Now I’d never seen such dance before,
Dude, I almost fell right on that floor.
Sexual girations and other nasty stuff,
I finally decided that I’d seen enough.
So I said something, it did not go well,
The guy glared and said “Go to hell!”
Then his girlfriend called me a jerk,
Well, that did it, and I went berserk.
Grabbed the radio, took out the plug,
The folks thought I was on some drug.
Next thing I know the security came,
And everyone agreed I was to blame.
So now here I sit in this dirty jail cell,
Man, quite frankly I’m not feeling well.
You see down the hall within my view,
I see people dancing, a couple or two.
Yes, you guessed it, need I say more?
Look out twerkers, this so means war!
Now once there was a green lizard,
With the name of Kamala Kameleon,
She was the most liberal creature,
With her no one ever picked a bone.
A fierce prosecutor out in California,
She was adept at juggling the laws,
If anyone dared stand against her,
Out would come her terrible claws.
With time she eventually decided,
That in the Senate she should be,
So there she spent her four years,
Until chosen as old Joe Biden’s VP.
Then came a presidential election,
But Joe could not make that grade,
So in a rather undemocratic manner,
Joe and Kamala made a quick trade.
Well, as we know about chameleons,
Their skin color they can all change,
But what has occurred with Kamala,
Is certainly bizarre and truly strange.
Being extremely liberal her whole life,
Her campaign was taking some heat,
Thus like that old smart green lizard,
From liberalism she began to retreat.
But we should ask if it is really true,
Or under her skin is she the same?
Is this chameleon being deceptive,
So she can win this political game?
There are tampons in the men’s room,
Some guy made the girl’s swim team,
This nation has become very twisted,
It is just one long, horrible dream.
Poor children taking puberty blockers,
And girls having both breasts removed,
Foolish men taking estrogen hormones,
Of such things God has not approved.
There’s just so much gender confusion,
It’s tragically everywhere we now look,
And the reason why it’s all happening,
Is because people reject the Holy Book.
God made everything so clear in there,
Yes, He created them male and female,
But if you still refuse to believe Him,
Look below and you can very easily tell.
Friend, you are either one or the other,
You need to accept what’s in plain view,
Just stop all your transgender nonsense,
Before the Lord begins to deal with you!
Man, just look at those flippin’ politicians,
Have you ever seen anything so absurd?
One day they are promising you one thing,
And next they’re going back on their word.
But that has always been their real story,
No intention to deliver what they even say,
They’ll tell you just what you want to hear,
So you will vote for them on election day.
But sadly, the naive and gullible sheeple,
They just never really seem to get a clue,
They are like those Russian Pavlov dogs,
Which come running if you throw a shoe.
Command and response is their method,
Some crafty politicians use it all the time,
They manipulate with chosen buzz words,
So their voters will quickly turn on a dime.
And that, my friends, is the simple reason,
Why you should not blindly trust in a pol,
If they flip-flop like some fish out of water,
Then know they are just playing their role.
