STOP WHINING! <\/p>\n

12-12-2016<\/p>\n

You stubbornly decided to go your way,
\nWhat God thought, you really didn’t care,
\nBut now that He’s put the pressure on,
\nYou dare complain that it’s just not fair.<\/p>\n

Well, what did you think would happen,
\nWhen you poked a finger in God’s eye?
\nNo, He won’t let you get away with it,
\nRegardless of how loud you even cry.<\/p>\n

You foolishly asked for the spanking,
\nSo be quiet and take it like a man,
\nMaybe the next time you’ll be smarter,
\nAnd you’ll obey Him the best you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
