My Home Town from 1918 to 1935

I have been gone sixty-five years

I would love to hear the katydid
sing again, and to hear again the songs
of the whippoorwill and the red eyed vireo
in the dead of the night.

I would love to watch the lightning
bugs flash, and hear again the crickets
announcing fall was on its way.

I would love to sit again on that
big rock in the middle of the creek, on
a hot sunny summer day, and to know
that that whirlpool was still there
only a few feet away.
I would love to stand
again at the top of the glen and
and look down at the ever-changing
dancing shadows on the trees and
the clear dark quietly-flowing
mountain stream below.

I would love to climb to the
top of grand daddy's hill again, and
to call out my name, "Estella, I love you", and wait for the soft answering echo, "love you" returning to me from the hills on the other side of that narrow valley.

I would love to pet
Lassie's head again, and
pull the burdocks from
her tail.
I would love to listen, once again,
to the one and only telephone
pole that chattered, and to
walk by the barn and the
well with its iron pump, and
then to walk slowly on down
to the pond to bring back
to the house, from there, a
small sweet bouquet of little
tiny blue forget-me-nots.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: thou anointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Family

Is the cat in or out? It is really very hard to keep track. Our grateful mutt is asleep on its mat.

The Bibles are read, the prayers are said, and all the children are safely tucked in their beds.

Their tummies are full, their thoughts are heard, their souls are fed, and their bodies are growing topped with wise little heads.
The lights are turned off, the sheets are clean, the good night hugs and kisses are sweet, no tears to meet.

Multiply and replenish the earth.

The fallen angels saw that the women were fair and giants were born to each evil pair, grieving God and causing the flood to appear.

Multiply and replenish the earth.


The men did not want the daughter of Lot . No. They wanted Lot and the men and angels God had sent in answer to Lot 's prayer. To the men's surprise a rain of fire came from heaven at sunrise and the earth sank forming the Dead Sea .

This evidence of the disapproval, fury, wrath, power, and judgment of Almighty God against the sins of the men of Sodom and Gomorrah and the five cities of the plain, the same sins as before the flood, is still with us if we were to take it to heart.

Today, the Dead Sea lies between Jordan and Israel and nothing ever has, nor can any thing live in it now.

The raiser of taxes takes away the home and the land, and the money is given to a favored godless land.

The women are placed in loveless, hateful, fraudulent places where virtue is treated as demented cases.

The men are forced into jails by the powers, and whims, and tricks of the wicked lawyers, and the bureaucrats, with no way out for the men.

No fallen angels, no men, no whores only a boy is given for this sexual abuse.

Their nests are made in outer space, this evil shall not spread. They are to be fetched back as men of the dead in their trespasses and sins.

Before our earth is rolled away, and no place is found for it, this evil will have all been burned away. Great noise, fervent heat, and void.

The bride speaks.

”Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved one come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.”
Song of Solomon 4:16

The Bridegroom replies.

”I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice, I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.”
Song of Solomon 5:1

Taken Taken Taken, Caught up!

Left Behind

Two men in the bed

the one shall be taken

the other left.

Two women shall be grinding together

the one shall be taken

the other left.

Two men shall be in the field

the one shall be taken

the other left.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Taken taken taken, caught up!

Left Behind

Remember Lot ’s wife

(Luke 17, I Thessalonians 4)

I leave you praying

and I love you

God Bless
