Do NOT Impeach !

Posted in uncategorized on November 7, 2014| Leave a Comment »

When a boy has been bad in school and the school tells him he can’t come to school the next three days he gets what he wants.  He did as he pleased and got rewarded by being allowed to go fishing.  A smarter move for the school is “in school suspension” – make him come but restrict his recesses, his lunch hour, etc.

The man called Obama (it may not be his real name) has been bad in WDC.  To impeach him could be just what he wants.  Unless America can save a lot by not giving him retirement money, do not impeach him.  “Make” him stay in office but restrict him.  Ground or greatly restrict Air Force 1.  Stop or greatly reduce his vacation FUND.  Do not pay for anymore of his ideas and DEFUND what has been “passed.”

SINNERS, PRAY?

Posted in Bible, Limerick, prayer, uncategorized, tagged on November 7, 2014| Leave a Comment »

 

Sinners in trouble call on God,

Whether on rough sea or hot sod.

It seems a natural reaction;

Their soul’s only satisfaction,

Though last week prayer would’ve seemed odd.
