Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in our bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed down for them to do the same. One day we will spend our sunset years telling our children  and our children's children  what it was once like in the United States where men were free.- Ronald Reagan

Heartfelt

It doesn’t matter what I do                                        

My purpose is  loving you

I can’t escape that greatest fact

I don’t want   ever to turn back

Though I’m weak and so unsure 

You bought me and I am yours

You are my paramour –Jesus my king

Constantly in my sleep

Pagan gods come courting me

Taking what is meant for One

Perverting  grace of the Son

All I can do is repent

How easily we forget

Spirit so ravenous- Jealous God

So in my soul I am so bound

This lost child has been found

But he’s got so much to learn

So many passions must be spurned

Look on one who is blood bought

Take it all- its all I’ve got

Be my very thought-heartfelt God

Quote from  Stephen Lawheasd's The Sword and the Flame:
"we aren't lost we just lack direction."

Hot cookie sheet(4 May 2013)

I often wash the cookie sheet right after I use it and so it is  still hot. Today I got the sheet out of the oven with a drying dishrag, yes I know not the beat but folded over it is thick enough and it works. Any way as I moved the pan I thought it felt a little hotter that normal and was just putting it under the sink when I saw the flames, apparently dishrags can burn pretty well. Oh well fortunately already being under the faucet it was a quick fix.

Shaved head

I’ve had only one style-

Since I was young.

Guys wear short hair -

That’s just how it’s done.

Only twice in my life

Have I broken this rule

Once was for money

And the other-

For a girl that I knew

 short was this lapse

For I  soon returned-

To what God ordained

For real guys are men

And that is quite plain

Kept on in basic

We shaved the debris

This message we send:

Clippers and razors

Real guys are men
