I wish the old
paths were before us...instead of behind us!
I liked
the old paths, when
Moms were at
home;
Dads were at work.;
Brothers
went into the army;
And sisters
got married BEFORE having children.
Crime did
not pay;
Hard work did;
And people
knew the difference.
Moms could
cook;
Dads would
work;
Children
would behave.
Husbands
were loving;
Wives were
supportive;
And children
were polite.
Women wore
the jewelry;
And men wore the
pants.
Women
looked like ladies;
Men looked
like gentlemen;
And
children looked decent.
People loved the truth;
And hated a
lie.
They came
to church to get IN...
Not to get
OUT!
Hymns
sounded Godly;
Sermons
sounded helpful;
Rejoicing
sounded normal;
And crying
sounded sincere.
Cursing was wicked;
Drugs were
for illness.
The flag
was honoured;
America was
beautiful;
And God was welcome!
We read the
Bible in public;
Prayed in
school;
And
preached from house to house.
To be
called an American was worth dying for;
To be
called an American was worth living for;
To be
called a traitor...was a shame!
I still
like “the old paths” the best!
God Bless
You!

A
gun is something like a parachute;
If you need one and don't have one...
You'll probably never need one again!
Welcome to the 21st Century!!!

Words of Wisdom
Humankind has not
woven the web of life.
We are but one
thread within.
Whatever we do to
the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are
bound together!
All things
connect!
