Sin Still Stinks! 1-24-12 ~ louis gander



Sin Still Stinks! 1-24-12:


BASED ON A TRUE STORY
during gooseberry picking season, 1934
as told to me by my mother, Ruth.
---

On our old North Clayton farmstead -
my brother, sister, I -
were picking berries with our mom,
when brother caught my eye.

In each our hands, a bucket with,
our minds on all our work.
We each were very diligent
'til brother went berserk.

Wisconsin's early summer brought us
many ripe gooseberries -
but never could we match what mom,
within her bucket carried.

God's trees stretched high above our heads,
His briers pulled our clothes -
yet creek ran faithful, north to south -
while heat, with sun, had rose.

You may not know our brother yet,
but all of us could tell,
that trouble followed him around
and knew him very well.

He said, "Look at this big kitten!"
He poked it with a stick -
but when it turned and raised its tail,
our mother shouted quick.

Although it wasn't humorous,
we giggled in our fun.
But when mom said it was a skunk -
we sure knew how to run!

Now sin can sure deceive us.
It's fun, this world thinks -
but it is not to play with so,
remember, sin still stinks!

THE TINY CABIN




THE TINY CABIN

A social worker from a big city in Massachusetts recently transferred to mountains of West Virginia and was on her first tour of her new territory when she came upon the tiniest cabin she had ever seen in her life. Intrigued, she went up and knocked on the door.




"Anybody home?" she asked.

"Yep," came a kid's voice through the door. 

"Is your father there," asked the social worker. 

"Pa? Nope, he left afore Ma came in," said the kid. 

"Well, is your mother there?" 

"Ma? Nope, she left just afore I got here," 

"But," protested the social worker, "are you never together as a family?" 

"Sure, but not here," said the kid through the door. "This is the outhouse!"



Government workers are so very smart. Aren't you overjoyed that they'll soon be handling all of our financial, educational and medical dilemmas

The Coffin ~ Halloween Comedy


The Coffin

(Halloween fun ~ with apologies to the Lord for wasting precious time.)

The night was dark and spooky as
He started to walk home,
A fog was falling and those eerie
Noises seemed to moan.
The hackles rose upon his neck
He turned around to see
A coffin standing upright, and said
“It is following me!!
He started walking faster as
He listened to its bump;
As fast as he went, so it went and
Even gave a jump.
His heart was racing madly as
He sprinted for his home;
If he could get into the house
It might leave him alone.
The steps he fairly jetted ~
He locked the door behind;
He heard the coffin coming ~
It smashed the door and chime!
So he “flew” up to the bathroom ~
Up on the second floor,
He shut the door and locked it but


The coffin came once more!
He heard the bumps come steadily...
His heart was in his throat;
He looked about for anything
To deal a deadly blow....
Bump, bump, it came now faster!
He knew his time was gone!
He reached into the cabinet
Cough medicine ~ all he found....
With all his might he hurled it ~
The bottle loudly popped...
It broke upon the coffin and...
(Are you ready, Freddie?
Are you game, Jane?
Are you ready, spooks and goblins?)
.............And then...
And then...
The coffin,,,,,
............
Stopped!!!

HOW DO I VISUALIZE MYSELF? - By: Frank E. Henrich


HOW DO I VISUALIZE MYSELF?


When from sleep I rose this morning,
Sitting on my bed with feet flung,
I did think a profound question,
How do I visualize myself?

Am I an eighty year old man
With little hair and a bent body
Whose body is scared with much life,
How do I visualize myself?

Oh no! In my wonderful mind
I am a twenty-nine year old,
Man fresh and full of energy,
How do I visualize myself?

Others may see what they do see
But I do not care, for you see
I never lost my 29 year body
That's how I visualize myself?

When I plan my day each morning
I think how can my young body
Fulfill daily fun and life duties
That's how I visualize myself.

What you say? "You are an old man!"
When my Lord Jesus I will see
On those great Heavenly shores
Yes, I will be young in body.

The Holy Spirit lives in me
So with ever so much joy and love
I could not live as an old man
That's how I visualize myself.
