Month: May 2024

We know what to anticipate

And from what direction. The

Percussion we feel on our chest

Remind us of previous encounters.

We knew what to expect and how

To handle it as a team. We prayed

And committed the team and the

Residents into the hands of our

Heavenly Father. Then the waiting.

Almost all of the projectiles were

Intercepted within a quarter hour.

We thanked our Father for His

Protection. Going to the psalms

We read that he that dwells in the

Secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the

Almighty. He is our refuge and our fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust. He will cover

You with His feathers and under his wings

You shall take refuge; His truth shall

Be your truth and buckler. We shall not

Be afraid of terror by night or the arrow

That flies by day. (From Psalm 91

Although sleep was scarce, we had His

Angels  to watch over us we are forever thankful

And will place our trust where it belongs

When asked to help out and

To say you are praying on

It, just doesn’t fly. You

Already know the answer.

You may have nothing left to

Give. It is not for us to judge.

It is between you and your

Maker. He gave His life.

The holocaust survivors

Lost their families and are

Alone. At their age they

Cannot be game fully employed.

They need outside help to

Survive. We were given instructions

On what to do and we must

Follow in the footsteps of the

Man who laid down His life

For us. Israel was shaken this

Past October 7. Hamas committed

One of the worst atrocities Israel

Has ever experienced. More help

Is needed now and to claim to

Be antisemitic will not do. We

Must do our part if we are to be

Called children or God. Praying

Is good, but not if it leads to denial.

After a night of rain we welcomed

A beautiful morning, The lake water

Rolled onto the shore, the wind came

Out of the southeast. There were a few

Whitecaps, they seemed to try to

Outdo each other. The temperature

Was mild. Seagulls floated above the

Water. They may have been looking

For fish. I could see no people hiking

Along the shore, it is a holiday weekend

And most of the events will take place

On Sunday which is a day of rest. I

Wonder what the King of peace thinks

Of our carrying on the way we do. we

Make no exceptions, but think the

One on High should step back and

Admire us for being so thoughtful in

One respect and crass in another.

We have a loving Lord who gave up

His life for us so that we may join

Whit him in heaven. He will come

Again in glory to judged so it would

Behoove us to live a life that follows

In His footsteps. If we do we will be

Able to take a seat in His kingdom.

THE SUN SHINED TODAY

After a night of rain we welcomed

TODAY I DRESSED AS A CLOWN

BIG FLAT FEET AND A ROUND RED NOSE

I WALKED DOWN MAIN STREET

STARTED A PARADE

A MARCHING BAND JOINED US

THEY WERE ON THE BALL

WE WAVED TO THE POLITICIANS

THEY WERE IN THE CITY HALL

WE DIDN’T HAVE A PERMIT

WE ALL HOLLARD SCREW IT

YOU CAN HAVE FUN WITHOUT PERMISSION

WE ARE THNKING OF SETTING UP A COMMISION

WE MARCHED BACK UPTOWN

DIDN’T WANT TO LET THE CROWD DOWN

WE THREW HANDFULS OF CANDY

THE CHILDRED THOUGHT THAT WAS DANDY

THE OLD TIMERS HAD BUILT A FLOAT

THEY WERE PROUD; CALLED IT THE GOAT

THEY SANG SONGS, OLD AND NEW

THE YOUNG FOLKS APPLAUDED

THEY KNEW WHAT TO DO

THE POLICE AUCTIONED OFF BIKES

FROM TEN SPEED DOWN TO TRIKES

BY NOON IT WAS HOT FROM THE SUN

WE ENDED KNOWING WE HAD HAD FUN

WE’LL DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR

I’M ALREADY PLANNING ON WHAT TO WEAR

It rose in the east as a

Giant ball and beautiful.

It crawled across the sky

And around four o’clock

I could see its majestic

Shining through the trees

Outside my window. It

Was daunting, but peaceful.

I thought we were benefiting

From another of nature’s

Gifts. We are lucky to be

Living in this country. We

Must be alert and keep the

Leftists from taking us over

The cliff to socialism. The open

Border fiasco which brought

us so many deaths from

fentanyl and illegals, along with

high prices and shortages are

some of the things which will

continue to bankrupt us. We

must beat the Socialists down

and shine like the moon as we

stand up for freedom and liberty.

We must not forget those who

Have basic needs all over the world.

The trumpets were heard

Being played by puppets

They were just grand

We have a new band

They marched down the street

In their uniforms so neat

We were all happy

They looked so snappy

Played lots of songs

Sousa surely belonged

They turned around

Headed for higher ground

Wanted more to hear

They had no fear

They looked for trombones

Tired of playing alone

They found seventy-six

They could take their pick

Then some coronets

They weren’t finished yet

Then they found a bass

I gladly took my place

We marched the whole town

Until the sun went down

The puppets were happy but worn

A unique band had been formed

A QUIET AFTERNOON INTERRUPTED

It was calm but gray when

I heard the rumble overhead.

Then, some thunder and lightning

Followed by a downpour of hail

The green grass was covered by

White in a matter of minutes.

The hail kept coming, and were

Of all sizes, from raindrops to

Golf balls. It continued for about

Five minutes, let up, and then

Gave a repeat performance.

No one here was injured and

No damage took place. The

Yard looked like a spartan field,

Green and white. It was quite

A production, and I was happy to

Observe it.
