Uncle Jack has always been my best friend.
He stayed with me through my trials to the end.
What ever I was going through, I could depend on Uncle Jack
Then one-day things looked so gravely black
Poor Old Uncle Jack died that lonely day .
Now I have a better friend to help me along the way.
I found him by accident when I cried. I can't live this way.
Hearing my cry, He came into my heart that day.
Never alone, never alone. God's son Jesus came in to stay.
Now bowing my head and thanking him when I pray.
RIP, Uncle Jack Daniels
1850 - 1911

A very dark day in America today
A former president is being arraigned in court I must say
All persons carrying high responsibility
Carry equally high accountability
However, this moment in history plays out
In the minds of Americans, there will always be doubt

Family Motor Coach Association is the correct route to take
So many friendly people and deals to make your trip great.
Friends will become family you will always cherish
The love you will find along the way will never perish
The rallies you attend you will never forget
Loving Memories will last forever with no regrets
Tell friends and tell neighbors there is no better experience to be had
Choosing the correct road ahead, you will forever be glad

From the hearts of men, God carries out his plan
Knowing this very day since time began
From the desires of the heart spring the action in our plan
Caring out God’s desire for every creature in His plan

Our lineage is difficult to trace to where we are
No records exist beyond the rays of a star
Their dress was skins of many animals
Folklore says some may have been cannibals
Their Gods were Sun's rays by day and the glow of the Moon by night
Not being accustomed to the terms Holy or right
Chiseling their shelter high in the cliffs of mountains
Always in search of overflowing fountains
Gorging their stomachs with the food of animals that wandered by
Nature kept them alive. They did not know the word die
The only pleasurable feeling they had was the warmth of their skin
The warm rains, the golden rays of the sun beaming in
They had little emotion for life. Only relying on their existence
They had no conception of time or distance.
They knew a strange feeling we call love
They felt it flow from the mountains above
Their sighs and groans from deep within
They only knew the pleasure derived from their skin
If it weren't for our ancestors
there would be no you and me
It's not by luck we find ourselves evolving through eternity

If you choose to turn on the road to a new life
Don't be surprised by some pitfalls and strife
At birth, I was created somewhat equal
As time passed by, my life became a sequel
Choosing to whip my ole body into shape
Pains and roadblocks I could not escape
Many choices of eating patterns and qualified coaches
The most important is my desire as the goal approaches
It's funny looking back how time slips away
My weight will follow the same path if I focus and pray

Global Warming is a prominent idea we have these days
Many opinions put our confused minds in a foggy haze
Turn left, turn right, look up, look down.
Many ideas abound
Where does the actual truth lie?
Will I find it before I die?
Jesus said I am the truth and light.
The answer may be keeping Him in sight.

The future may never come. I may never finish today.
Eternity is the only certainty. It’s up to me, I must say.
How quickly things can change from fun and games,
I am crying; why me, I have not reached my aims.
If I had only done this, If I had only given a damn
Time is running out; I do not know where I am.
Would I change things if I could? Would I change, knowing what I know now.
The answer is my soul finding eternal peace somehow.
Hindsight is perfect for telling what I need to know.
Suppose I have a second chance. Will I see the direction to go?
Please, God extend my Life and give me a second chance.
That I might hear a different tune and dance another dance.

Are you at point A traveling to point B
Are your glasses fogging up so you can't see
Don't make any dangerous U-Turns that will put you in harm's way.
That could very well bring the end to your day
Someone might call you stupid and give you the California Howdy
Oh Lord, keep him from being so rowdy
