There was an old story in our family Don’t know if it’s true or not Great Grandpa Percy Used his yard for a Bank They said where he put it he forgot Never thought much about it Till I got down on my luck Then I prayed to GOD He would show me the Spot
Covid Vaccine there is much confusion It seems to be an illusion Is it good or bad Is it from GOD above or the devil below Will, we ever know Since good things come from GOD And bad things from the devil I guess it’s up to you To decide if it’s good or evil
Religion and Politics are strange They should be separated They're not the same One is of this world One is of Heaven Mixing them can never be forgiven Changing this world will not come through politics It will only come through the power of Prayer There is no quick fix August 5, 2021 Mark Waldrop

I was built in 1855 As sturdy as could be I was strong and heavyweight For whoever needed me I could move people I could move supplies I could move most anything in GOD’S eyes It was not for me to decide What they used me for was right or wrong It was only for me To be very strong I worked hard all day and night Never a moment of fright I did the best I could All day and all night One day I got tired New Engines had come along I retired without a regret Still with a happy song My whistle I still hear In echos of days gone by Remembering the hardships without even a cry I’m resting now In the Southern Museum of Civil war And Locomotive History For all to see And remember me The moment of Mystery When I made History July 28, 2021
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 July 9, 2021
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 June 21, 2021 Mark Waldrop

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 June 6, 2021 Mark Waldrop
Covid 19 has come and gone Maybe not for very long Should You get Moderna, Pfizer or J&J That’s not for me to say I trust God’s hand in all that I do I suspect this should be that way too April 27, 2021 Mark Waldrop
I’m just a Kentucky country boy. Nothing more, nothing less. The only difference I Have is Christ living inside me. I accepted Christ at the young age of 6 at home in my mother’s lap. I guess my parents saw I was under conviction. They called our Pastor, Reverend Raymond Ward. They didn’t want to take a chance on waiting till Sunday. There was no doubt that the love of Christ came into my heart. He has always been with me, but I have not always walked with him. I always, as a kid, loved radios and taking them apart. Thus my interest developed in Amateur Radio. My mentor was my Uncle Hansford Scott W4NGZ. Having been born into a Funeral Home Family I was carrying flowers at an early age for my father. Not interested in the funeral business, I pursued another career. Developing a love for airplanes watching Sky King and Penny on the Shy King Show I decided to choose an aviation career. After receiving my private pilot’s license during my senior year in high school, I chose to attend Arizona State University majoring in Aeronautical Technology, After graduating, being employed by Boeing or Lockheed. My father was trying to operate his small Funeral Business back home in Kentucky, plus operate an ambulance service by himself. My conscience told me I should help him. I have been in the Funeral Business ever since. There have been many ups and downs, but Jesus leveled them all. To put a long story short. Suppose you could see where Jesus brought me from to where I am today. You would know why I love Him so much and want to serve him every day. I am currently going through a spiritual revival through the mentorship of the devoted members of the Bible Fellowship Net on 80 meters. I pray everyone can find the living Christ I have found that provides eternal life and more abundant life here on earth. Joshua 1:5 No one can stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Mark Waldrop KE4WA Knowing I was going to be in an HOA when I retired to South Carolina from Arizona. I gave my radio equipment to the local ham club for any youngsters needing help. If my testimony is too long. Drop everything except the first and last paragraphs. Thanks Mark
