How Time Passes Away 

When I was young I heard them say
How quickly Time  passes away

Then it didn’t occur to me
Later what the meaning would be

In My middle years, the time moved swifter
Not noticing too much being somewhat a drifter

As I grew older things changed immensely 
The hands of the clock turned very quickly

Days turned into weeks, Weeks into months, Months into Years. All in the twinkling of an eye. 
In many ways, Time had passed me by

The Gospel Ship 

We’re going to sail on that Good Ole Gospel Ship
I'm so excited anticipating this once in a lifetime trip

I Feel So Comfortable being on board 
Knowing soon I will Meet my Precious Lord

It’s Headed Right For The Promised Land 
A distance place we don't Understand

Our Friends And Loved Ones We Shall See
Oh What A Glorious Day That Will  Be

When my Master Welcomes me home
Oh The love I will feel, never again being alone

Baptized In The Spirit 

A strange statement I must say
I never really understood until today

The HOLY SPIRIT comes with HIM
When we ask JESUS to come in

HE always abides with us
If we don’t acknowledge HIM
It can create a fuss

HE acts as our communication with GOD
Without Him, we only Pray in Vain
Asking GOD for almost everything. 

He sent HIS SON to save our SOLES 
He sent the HOLY SPIRIT that we might grow

Without HIM we would remain like Little Children
Not ever growing in the Faith
So that we might see HIS RADIANT FACE

YESTER YEAR

Painting by Spike O’Dell Brentwood Tennessee
Seems like Yesterday 
We were frolicking and running along the way

We had Children and we were so Proud
Even though sometimes they were very loud

Then the Grandchildren came along
They were even more loving and sure did belong 

Now We have more time for Ourselves 
Time to Remember The Love we’ve shared 
Relishing the Thoughts of How Much We Cared

We have many more days behind than Ahead of us now
We are So Pleased With What GOD Has Allowed

We are So Happy and Blessed
For GOD Has Walked with us all the way through
And we know he will always Continue too 

Chimney 

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

The Gifts 

Oh the Gifts on Christmas Day 
Their so much fun but they will not stay

They will soon be gone
Maybe by the end of the day

GOD sent HIS SON as a Gift to us
That will last forever and we can trust

So don’t put your Faith in the presents of today 
Accept His Son Jesus
Throughout Eternity he will Stay

“Biscuit” T. & Ann Sims 

I know a Man who is a Neighbor of All
He Yells Out Hey Neighbor to One and All

Why is He so Friendly I think I Know
He has JESUS in His Heart where ever He goes

He can’t keep IT inside it’s not to be. 
He has to share it with You and Me

Call Someone and tell them You Love them Today
Because Tomorrow is not promised Anyway

So the next time you go out and see Someone you don’t know
Make Them Your Neighbor and Jesus will Love You so.

The Rich Man 

There was once a Rich Man that died and went to Hell
He thought in Heaven He would dwell 

His Torment was so Great
 He begged someone to save Him from his Fate

Don’t you remember the one You Passed By
The One You did not even hear their Cry

You have set your fate with the hardness of your Heart
From this place, you will never part

For those left behind
We only hope they see
The Correct Path to take to come unto Me

 Christmas 

Christmas is a wonderful time of year 
It’s full of much laughter and lots of cheer 

Nothing better than Eggnog and Fruitcake
I don’t think

The laughter of Little Children on Christmas Morn
That is something to really Adorn

But the real meaning comes from GOD above
The Puzzle he put together to show HIS GREAT  LOVE

HE sent HIS SON to be born on Earth
As our Present at Christmas  of Great Worth 

In the Days Ahead HE will
Show us more LOVE from HIS Birth 

As the Puzzle unfolds 
To Reveal his plan of HIS LOVE untold
