SHARPSHOOTER <\/p>\n

Some call me raw, quick on the draw,
\nBecause I never sugar-coat the truth,
\nI don’t intend, my friends to offend,
\nBut alas, some still go through the roof.<\/p>\n

I take no blame, and I have no shame,
\nI just share God’s Word as it is stated,
\nWhether you get mad, or become sad,
\nI know I will still end up quite hated.<\/p>\n

But that is okay, it is part of my day,
\nI’ve been down this same road before,
\nThe problem is you, you’ll end up blue,
\nIf God’s Word you choose to ignore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
