Prayer of a School Boy

Now I sit me down to school, where praying is against the rule. For this great nation under God, Finds mention of him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, it violates the Bill of Rights. And anyone my head I bow, becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange, and green, that's no offense; It's freedom of scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in public hall, may offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate. God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss, and dress like freaks, and pierce our nose, tongues, and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book it makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, and the "unwed daddy" Senior King. It's inappropriate to teach right from wrong, we're taught that our "judgements" do not belong. We can get our condoms and birth control, study witchcraft, vampires, and todem poles. But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, no word of God must reach thid crowd. It's scary here I must confess, when chaos reigns the school is a mess. So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot, my soul please take!

My Cup Has Overflowed

I've never made a fortune and it's probably too late now. But I don't worry about that much. I'm happy anyhow. And as I go along life's way, I am reaping better than what I sow. I'm drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed. Haven't got alot of riches and sometimes the going gets tough, but I've got loving ones around me and that makes me rich enough. I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies he's bestowed. I'm drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed. Oh remember times when things went wrong, my faith wore somewhat thin. But all at once the dark cloud broke. And sun peeped through again. So, Lord, help me not to gripe, about the tough rows I've hoed. I'm drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed. If God gives me strength and courage, when the way grows steep and rough, I'll not ask for others blessings, I'm already blessed enough. And may I never be too busy, to help others bear their loads. Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer cause my cup has ovreflowed.

Let God Handle Your Situations

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you can't handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in His time, Not yours!

The Lamb

Mary had a little Lamb, His fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, the Lamb was sure to go. He followed her to school each day, Twasn't even in the rule. He made the children laugh and play, to have a Lamb at school. And then the rules all changed one day, Illegal it became; to bring the Lamb of God to school, or even speak his Name. Everyday got worse and worse, and days turned into years. Instead of hearing children laugh, we heard gun shots and tears. What must we do to stop the crime, that's in our schools today? Let's let the Lamb come back to school, and teach our kids to pray!
