Worship 

What does worship mean to you
Which day do you set aside to do

Sunday is the most common day to attend church
Many people go there without worshiping much

Worship comes from the feelings of the heart
Only GOD knows the real feelings that we impart 

A Saint told me one day when I asked when you take time to pray. 
GOD watches me every second of the day. My whole life is a prayer I would say.

Changing of the Guard 

Changing the guard is the most difficult thing to do. 
The sadness of this time is beyond belief to go through. 

When the Matriarch in a family dies
It leaves a great vacuum to be filled. 
When it involves a country there is much love and gratitude to rebuild.

Queen Elizabeth was not only Mum to her children
She was Mum to the many Brits that loved her by the millions 

The future that lies ahead will never be the same. 
In the loving past, we will always remember her name.

Camping 

Camping seems like a delightful experience to me
The smell of the coffee brewing, and the breeze against my cheek, make me feel free

Making new friends many stories to tell
Makes me joyous inside and our souls feel well

Being in the midst of GODS’ Creation
The birds and the trees
Lifts our Hearts, gives us Joy, and makes it so easy for us to see

If you need a break from your normal routine 
Camping with friends is the Best Remedy I've seen

The Waffle House 

When you wake up hongry as a bear
Head on down to Waffle House, they got a good breakfast down there

They got more than just good waffles 
The best breakfast you ever had
They are so friendly they will treat you like family

Hash Browns smothered and covered just for you
Many other good things even old Black Coffee Brew. 

You will eat enough, you'll feel like your gonna Bust
When you barely make it home, a nap is a must

My Hearing Aids 

Turn your hearing aids on so you can hear all the gossip in the air
Turn your hearing aids on so you can tell if they begin to swear

Keep fresh batteries so you can pry
Without those hearing aids, you will surely cry

If you get tired of the conservation remove them with great elation 
You can have perfect peace and quiet in any situation 

God gave us hearing aids so we could hear every little thing
Or if we’re so am-mind too, take ‘em out and not hear a darn thing

So the moral of this story is to wear them as a badge of honor
If you can’t find them in the morning you are surely a goner

The Car Hauler 

Brad Vanatta KK4CSJ
GOD watches over me no matter where I roam
I drive a Peterbilt named Nellie Bell, she always brings me home. 

Hauling cars from here to there, taking them to their destination. 
Always feeling HIS Presence, keeping me from frustration  

Every time I turn into the drive headed home
I bow my head and thank HIM for riding along

Sorry 

I'm sorry it's so, I'm obliged to go
I can't stay in one place very long you know 

I have to keep traveling on down the line
Happy as I can be, I'm feeling mighty fine

My momma done left me,the kids are all grown
I ain't got no reason to stay at home

Free as a bird, not two pennies to rub together
I feel like the richest man on this earth ever

I'm out of jail, the whole world is mine
All I need is just a big ole bottle of wine

We're all gonna die somewhere makes no difference to me
I ain't got nobody to spend no money to bury me

When I lay my head down for the last time
I just thank GOD iv’e been blessed all this time

Frosty the Glasgow Man 

Foster ”Frosty” Sanderson
Frosty was a kind and gentle soul. 
I remember his face from long ago. 

The little red wagon he pulled, his dog that tagged along.
He didn't have a care in the world always humming a song. 

I'm not saying he was perfect, for he was just a man. 
Seems like the Good Book says Love covers our earthly plans. 

Kind memories of Frosty speak for themselves. 
So love is everlasting, even if perpetuated by ourselves.
