What is Data
Data is Information used for analysis
By someone smarter than me
It can be used for all kinds of things
We can’t understand or see
It doesn’t change the truth
Or add to the material we see
It just explains deeper what is before me
It takes special people to keep their pen in hand
To solve the last computation to bring it to an end
The joy of the completion
Far outweighs the many hours of toil and despair
When trying to pull the answer from the thin air
Sometimes I just have to ask GOD
To Show me where

My little home means a lot to me
It belonged to my Mama and Daddy you see
I think GOD knew I would be arriving there
HE knew I would find much love and care
I didn’t know I was sent from GOD above
I just knew there was lots of love
Looking back I can see now
They must have Prayed to GOD and made a pact somehow
HE was always watched over me
No matter where I might be
I see and understand now
Why Momma and Daddy prayed to GOD for Me

Mitchell is my wife’s nurse
At Roper St Francis Hospital, Charleston South Carolina
He has treated many a patient with angina
He is a very polite young man
Eagerly waiting to do all he can
He has given His life to serve others
To Help His Sisters and Brothers
His Faith shines through in all that He does
Even when He moves in quiet Buzz
He lends a Helping Hand to all he meets
Even though some may not be very sweet
Thank you Mitchell for being so Kind
You will remain a fond memory in our mind

When that path I have to Travel
When My Savior calls Me Home
I will leave in the Darkness with JESUS
Only to arrive in the light of My New Home
The Light of HIS FACE Calls Me
With HIM I Shall Never More Roam
The Joy That HE Brings Me
That Joy has set Me Eternally Free
It is only in the Light of His Face
That I have Found Amazing Grace
Oh I Sing Throughout Eternity
Praises of JESUS How HE LOVES me
I Never could have imagined
The Amazing LOVE He Had for Me
Oh The LOVE That Came Down that day
Thank you JESUS for washing my sins away
There are no words to express
How I am so wonderfully Blessed
I can only Bow My Head and say
Thank You JESUS I Pray

Zoom what a great place to be
We all Love the LORD
That’s what means the most to me
There’s a Biscuit a Jimbo a Fuzzy and me
There’s even more Brad, Burt, Dennis, Matthew, and Bruce KOGE
There’s a Coffee Bean on the scene
He’s the most Intelligent of All
His Love for the LORD is His Main Call
We call it The Happy Hour.
It seems to me more like the Hour of Power
Sometimes we Worship
Sometimes we Praise
But most of all we Love each other in Many Ways
We let our hair down that’s for sure
A Good Laugh seems our Hearts to Cure
When we all fellowship and Pray
It brings us closer in every Way
It seems We’re all better off at the end of the Day
After Loving the Lord in our own way

When GOD calls me Home one day.
I hope this brings a Smile to Someone along the Way
Why are Biscuits so good
I don’t really know
I know they're made with flour, milk, butter,
things that make you grow
Grandma always made them
The very best she could
She said it was the Love she stirred in
That's what made them so good
I’ve got a little feeling, that God played a part
Because they were made from the Love in Her Heart

Gideons are People Sharing GOD’S WORD
Distributing BIBLES whenever they're heard
My Dad was a Gideon when I was a child
I don’t remember much except his smile
The GOOD NEWS OF JESUS IS TRUTH and LOVE
Coming from OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ABOVE
When you consider giving GOD’S WORD away
Many people will accept JESUS some day

Chimney is my dog I love
He means a lot to me
When I imagine him in my mind I feel so free
I’m not sure what breed he is
I pretend he is an Australian Shepherd because they are as smart as can be
I normally have him in my heart just for me
I drew him on the sidewalk for everyone to see
Why I did this I do not know
It Just Makes Me Very Happy within
To show off my beautiful friend
My granddaughter, Zoey drew this on her sidewalk

Do you remember Dinner on the grounds
I was a little boy
I used to run and play all day
There was always lots of good food
The more people ate. The more food there was
I was too young to notice at the time
After dinner there was singing in the Church
Gospel Music flowed from the windows
On Good Days Aunt Hattie would get to shouting
Us kids stayed outside and played not to create a disturbance
We would pull ourselves up and look in the windows
There were strange things going on as the people swayed back and fort to the music
I learned later it was called the Holy Spirit
What ever it was it was from heaven
Some said they got healed
From what I’m not sure
But they said it was a real cure
Seems things aren’t like they used to be
I think Old Time Religion is good enough for me
