What would we do?
What if one day,
all the old men went away?
The corner diner,
has less coffee drinkers.
No one buys,
The white Nike Air.
Who would change,
the furnace filters?
And make sure
the light switch is off.
Who would change the oil,
at exactly three thousand miles?
Who would rake the leaves,
and let them smolder all day?
And mow the grass at noon,
on a zero turn?
Who would drive the speed limit,
on a beautiful sunny day?
Who would listen to baseball,
on the radio in the car?
Shhhh…the game is on.
Who would let us know,
what the weather is soon to be.
And keep us aware,
of what the doctor had to say.
Who would make sure,
we are doing things right?
And give us tips,
on the project we’re working on?
If you don’t know;
I certainly do.
All the old men.
That’s who.

Our Peace
Our Peace Comes Through Knowing Him “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 4:6-7 You’ve seen the slogan “Know Jesus. Know Peace.No…
The Coming Storm
The signs of the times Meteorologists warn us about coming storms. Whether it’s a freezing rain and snow or a summer tornado. Folks believe them. They stock up on bread and milk. They buy icy melt. They break out the snow gear and the shovels or flash lights. They check on family. They stay home…
Thanking God
We owe Him everything God gave us life. He gives us the things we need and the joys of this world. When we get saved and know Him, we see that He gives us so much more. We realize that everything comes from Him and all of it works together for our good. Our thankfulness…
