Mr  President 

I have not felt the Load The President Bears
 Hours of Anguish THAT brings many tears

Wishing the right decision to be made
For Many hours we do Pray

The Burden is to heavy and difficult to bear
Without the Hand of GOD lifting our care

I pray the right decision will be made
Having Faith in God that We’ll never be Afraid

Data 

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

Spike O’Dell’s W4WGN boyhood home
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 

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 My  Savior Calls Me Home 

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 

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

BISCUITS 

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

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
