Boeing’s  Code Cat

                  Boeing's  Code Cat

Boeing employs my Dad. I help him out now and then.  
When a coder has a problem, I'm proud to be their friend

I listened to much data from many of Daddy's friends. 
Hours of Spilling their guts to me helps them to no end. 

Sounds Silly, I know. If it were not for me, Many questions would go unanswered.  
After much talking, they seem to find the elusive answer. 

I'm proud to say I help to keep Boeing's Planes in the air.
It's a Great Big Honor and a delightful burden to bear.

Jesus Whispers Peace

When I'm distraught and have no place to turn, 
Jesus Whispers Peace

When I'm homesick and want to return,  
Jesus Whispers Peace

When I grieve and cry uncontrollably, 
Jesus Whispers Peace

When my time comes, I will not be alone; 
Jesus will Whispers Peace

Oh, the peace that he gives, I can not understand
The peace He gives will lead me into the promised land

1Ki 19:12  After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper

Promises

We've all made promises, some good some bad
A few made you mad, a few made you glad

Keeping those promises is what counts
The real truth in you will surely be announced 

God's promises are forever true 
Thousands are there waiting for you

Reading His Word will surely reveal them at the right time 
As you approach The Throne of Grace, in your long difficult climb

The clouds of Vietnam

The dark clouds of Vietnam loom over our bowed heads today. 
Those who served and died so that we might have freedom, I pray. 

Those that lay down their life for another, their sacrifice we can not understand. 
No man can have greater love than to lay down his life for his fellow man.

Many were criticized for serving their country and doing what they were told. 
Death crosses party lines, caring not about the politics of old.

Training

To win a physical contest, you must train vigilantly 
This will make your body perform with great agility. 

Spiritual training is much the same,
training with our mind, soul and heart. 
To bring us across the finish line, with great speed, from the very start

The finish line of our life often seems so sad at times.
The Spirit of God being in our lives, 
We will hear those glorious chimes.

Brokenhearted

Here I sit all brokenhearted
20 years, I'm back when I started

Nobody cares, work my fingers to the bone
No one cares enough to call on the phone

Sittin here crying old crocodile tears in my soup. 
Just jumping through the same old mindless hoops

Will this horrendous loop never ever end?
Getting off my butt, I might make some friends. 

Well, maybe someday I will muster up the courage.
Finding friends that care for me, surely I will be less discouraged.
