Original Song/Poem Thursday♥Week #7

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we
ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great
treasure. This makes it clear that our great power
is from God, not from ourselves.
II Corinthians 4:7

Brokenness 

Broken pieces

Various shapes

Numerous dimensions

 

Pasted on the ground

Collectively individual

Creating one visual scene

 

Mournful reminders

Of what used to be

And what will never be again

 

The broken pieces of life

Collect in the bottom of souls

Reminding us of our past

 

Painful or pleasant pieces

Brokenness can create beauty

If we allow it the opportunity.

Stephen King

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod

and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalms 23:4

 

I HAD to put a bible verse that dealt

with FEAR.

Stephen King is an EXTRAORDINARY writer.

His words can cause hearts to beat

wildly, sleepless nights,

and head trauma! What a gift he possesses

to be able to write in such a way that other people can actually FEEL something.....even if it is total FEAR!

King was born on 9/21/47 in Portland, Maine. He has published 55 books that have sold over 350 MILLION

copies. I bet his mind never shuts down.

Amazing!

I can't imagine having the things

that he has written about rolling around in my

mind all the time.

SPOOKY!

Thank you Mr. King for your contribution

to the world.

Joke'n Quote Friday♥Week #6

After an elderly couple starts getting forgetful, they visit their doctor. Their doctor tells them that many people find it useful to write themselves little notes.

When they get home, the wife says, "Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And maybe write that down so you won't forget?" "Nonsense," says the husband. "I can remember a dish of ice cream." "Well, I'd also like some strawberries and whipped cream on it," the wife replies. "My memory's not all that bad," says the husband. "No problem -- a dish of ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream. I don't need to write it down." He goes into the kitchen, and his wife hears pots and pans banging. The husband finally emerges from the kitchen and presents his wife with a plate of bacon and eggs. She looks at the plate and asks, "Hey, where's the toast I asked for?"

Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he
were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, 
older women as mothers, and younger women
as sisters, with absolute purity.
I Timothy 5:1-2

Original Song/Poem Thursday♥Week #6

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,
do all to the glory of God.
I Corinthians 10:31
(these are bananas with green jackets on, not corn..:)

 

Banana Dirt Delight 

Her legs were straight and skinny
The insides didn't touch
Her mom would get quite mad at her
The girl would not eat much.

How 'bout some peanut butter
A pickle or some bread
All the food that mom would bring
The girl would shake her head.

I have a good suggestion
The mom said "This will work"
Get ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
And put them in the dirt.

Get some old bananas
The ones so soft and black
And roll them in the mixture
And see if she likes that.

Her brothers and her sisters
Made Banana Dirt Delights
Their skinny legged sister
Ate her fill of grub that night.

And now the mom is happy
Sis found a food she liked
There's nothing like the crunch
Of a Banana Dirt Delight.

Johnny Depp

A good name is better than fine perfume,
    and the day of death better than the day of birth.

Ecclesiastes 7:1

 

When I was researching signatures, I came

across Johnny Depp's and I found

myself trying to make rhyme and reason

of his signature. Apparently, our signatures

can reveal a lot about who we are and what

is going on in our heads. I am really not sure

what is going on in Johnny Depp's head from this

signature.

Johnny was born June, 1963. He is in his 50's now.

Lucky guy. He is an extremely talented actor

and an artistic soul.

Thank you Johnny for your contribution to the world.

Rock and Roll music

Has a wonderful timing

That I could just EAT.

BLAST seeing KC!

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Psalms 95:1

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of
 the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with
seed in it. They will be yours for food.
Genesis 1:29


Cellulite Butt Pumpkins

Come to my store
I have something to sell
Cellulite Butt Pumpkins
They don't even smell

I know they're not pretty
Light orange and not smooth
But Cellulite Butt Pumpkins
Can decorate too.

Put them on tables
And on your front step
Take them to work
And place on your desk.

Carve goofy faces
A cat or a ghoul
With wrinkles and pimples
It will make people drool.

So come buy some pumpkins
I'll sell them half price
Make pumpkin time special
With some Butt Cellulite!

Lassie

A happy heart makes the face cheerful....
Proverbs 15:13a

Lassie was a collie dog. When I was growing up, I
couldn't wait to watch "Lassie" the TV show.
Wikipedia reports that the show aired from
1954-1973.
Lassie was an AWESOME dog and she always
saved someone every week from peril.
The character of Lassie was created by Eric Knight.
Thank you Eric Knight for creating a character
that I still love even today.
Your contribution makes me happy.

The Cayenne Man

 

The Cayenne Man

Made from a can

Hanging from a wall

Got forks for his hands 
 

Got a silly grin

Don’t have no chin

Pepper shaker top hat

Hottest of men 
 

Two ounce honey

Might sound funny

Seems too small

He don’t cost much money 
 

Put him in a sack

My homey’s on my back

I’ll hang him on my wall

Yeah, another knick knack!

Norman Rockwell

 

Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace
and the things by which one may edify another.
Romans 14:19


Norman Rockwell (February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978)
I have always loved the paintings and drawings of Norman Rockwell. His work was and remains wholesome and inspiring to folks. I read that he was married 3 times. His first marriage ended in divorce. His second wife died of a heart attack. He was married to his third wife until he died in 1978. An interesting note: Mr. Rockwell underwent psychiatric treatment to which his analyst Erik Erikson, told the artist that he painted his happiness, but did not live it.
It seems to me that very creative people give so much of themselves through their work, they often suffer from the loss with unhappiness and depression.
How sad.
I would like to thank Mr. Rockwell for his contribution to the world.

Across the busy highway

Original Poem/Song Thursday♥Week #3

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,
your whole body will be full of light.
Matthew 6:22

Your Eyes

I see your blue eyes
They are not ordinary blue eyes
They sparkle and shine
They hypnotize
They are magnets to your soul

You will only ever see your eyes through reflective glazes
In a mirror
In a pond
In a posted snap shot
You are unable to see your REAL eyes

Trust me.....They are beautiful.
Trust me.....They are good.
Trust me because I wouldn't lie about something
As beautiful as your eyes.

Eyes created by God, not for YOU to see, but
Created as a gift to show the world how
Simply beautiful eyes can be.

Alfred Hitchcock

....there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.....
Daniel 2:28

Mr. Hitchcock (13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980)
was known as the "Master of Suspense".
I LOVE to watch his movies. I remember growing
up and my mom telling me that in all of his
movies he made cameo appearances. I watched
them all to find where he was in each show.
I can't pick a favorite movie, because there
are so many that he did. Here are a few:
Rear Window (1954)

Vertigo (1958)

North by Northwest (1959)

Psycho (1960)

The Birds (1963)

WOW....he did A LOT while he was on this earth.
Thank you Mr. Hitchcock for your contribution
to the world.

Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:8

YOU 

Your breath stinks
So do your feet
Your hair is greasy
Your arm pits reek.

You're short and fat
You eat too much
You're hairy all over
You slobber after lunch.

You're not too smart
In fact, you're kinda dumb
You hit the walls
When you run run run.

But there's one thing
I want you to get
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
You're my weiny dog pet!

Walt Disney 

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to
give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
II Corinthians 9:7


What an AWESOME signature this man had.
He gave much to the world.
He died on 12/15/66 at the age of 65.
He was not just a dreamer, he was a doer of the
dreams he possessed.
Thank goodness for that. What person in the world
has not been touched or been influenced by
something this man created?
Thank you Mr. Disney for your contribution to the world.
