Politics is a funny thing
No matter what party
Everyone is right all the time
Even if it seems to be a crime
Corruption seems to be the norm
Even when they try to reform
Will, it ever change
Probably not
For integrity, they have not

Life is like a vapor
Coming apart in your hands
People won’t remember what you do or say
They will only remember how you make them feel
That’s why Memories
Seem so very real
As days go by and we grow older
Our memories grow fonder
Only to realize in the very end
They will always be with us in the wild blue yonder
I was going along my merry way
Leaving the store and driving away
I saw a man beside the road
He had a sign that read
Please help my family I have no food
I backed up the car and gave him a 20
Only in hopes that would be plenty
As I drove away I heard him say with a smile
God Bless you and your family I pray
I felt love dwell up in my heart
I began to cry and heard Jesus say
Thank you for what you have done for Me
And my Father today
Fire Fighter EMTs are a resourceful lot
They show up Johnny on the spot
No waste of time accessing the situation
Their training provides much-needed information
They kneel by your side to ease the pain
They show compassion even in the rain
Their not angels they say
But GOD put them here anyway
Love flows from their hands to you
Just like JESUS would do
So the next time you see them in action
Say a little prayer that GOD may help them
Complete their task with much satisfaction

Come serve him
He said one day
I couldn’t see how
I had no way
Then he came into my heart
And lighted the way
Now there are so many Blessings
I just bow my head and thank him every day
On the line of time lies,The Cross Of Calvary
Where the victory was won
Good conquered evil
That’s where It was all done
Evil is still in this world But no control over you
If You have accepted Jesus Christ, HE Lives within You
The War is Over
Your Freedom has been Given
The enemy has been Defeated
No more storm raging within
All for the Asking
When You invite Jesus to come In

I may look like an old boot
I have many stories that will never be told
My Master died
He wasn’t very old
I’ve danced at weddings
I’ve been a pallbearer at funerals
I’ve seen joy
And I’ve seen sorrow
My Master always put me on tomorrow
It wasn’t I, to decide the fate
Only to make my Master look great
I would like to have gone with him
But that wasn’t meant to be
I now have a new task in life
To be proudly worn by his son
As long as he needs Me

I’m just an old Country Boy
With a song in my heart
Traveling on the way to Nashville
Hoping someone will give me a start
No money No food
Just a dream in my head
Oh Lord Oh Lord
Let me make it big
Before I’m dead
I just need a chance
To sing my song
Ever since she left me
I’ve been all wrong
I know there are better days ahead
Cause it can’t get no worse
I feel like it’s around the corner
I’m about to burst
Oh Lord Oh Lord give me a break
That’s all I ask in His Namesake

A little house that needs some fixing up
It’s seen better days
Laughter and family
And happier ways
Memories of good times and hard times too
Working the fields from daylight to dawn
Always toiling on
Grandma would cook
Dad would whittle
Kids would play down by the creek
We were happy even though meek
Time passes by
things seem to change
Everyone has moved from that old house
But the memories still remain
That old house
Will never be the same
Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
I’m a little Deer
My name is Bambi
My mother taught me all I know
To watch for humans where ever I go
I frolic and play deep in the woods
I come out at night to investigate
The garden delight
It’s so nice for these people to feed us
I hope I’m doing what’s right
When I get older I’ll have a family too
And teach them the right thing to do
