Poke

If you like greens let me encourage you to find out (if you don’t already know) what POKE is. Gather it and fix it (using two or three waters). To my mind it’s as good as spinach or Swiss chard (not the same but similar) and grows wild, saving you the bother and space in your garden for other things.

Stop all the movies

I fear the number of christians watching movies for entertainment is increasing. Why? “Well, it was a clean one.” It may not have had a “bedroom scene” but if hellywood had anything to do with it, it probably had more worldliness than you noticed. Even “christian” producers of movies may use words or dressing or float ideas which are very earthy – not heavenly. May I encourage you, parents, pray for guidance. The devil is after your child and too many movies help him.

Beach Buggy

At the end of my 2^nd yr of teaching at Hobe we needed repair or maintenance on our ‘68 Bug. I had to be at the college for commencement practice so the shop loaned me a VW beach buggy. I returned, picked up cap/gown and was driving down James St. when I stopped and invited C Ponder Frederick (also headed to practice) to ride. He, in his gown with cap in hand, climbed over the side (they had no doors) and we arrived on campus “in style” – Black gowns and Red beach buggy. Love the memory.

KIDS SCREAM

Kids scream for a multitude of reasons,

In summer, winter, fall, and other seasons.

They scream because they’re joyous,

And they scream because they’re not.

They scream when they are cold and wet,

And when they’re wet and hot.

They vibrate their vocal cords

When by themselves, or in huge hordes,

And scream because they’re slightly “mad”

Or when chased by their playful dad.

But whatever the reason, or season,

Kids will go on screaming.

Giving the world of ours

A little more depth of meaning.

Reconsider

“Wait, wait – – –

you’ve declared yourself an enemy of God?” Have you forgotten? It is He Who made heaven and earth. God made the “clock” called “time,” gave it a wind, and knows exactly when it will tick its last. God will have a Great White Throne judgment and men will be allowed to go to hell (toward which they’ve purposely slanted their life). You’ve chosen to hate Him? Friend you’ve NOT thought this through!

R-e-c-o-n-s-i-d-e-r !!!
