Balloons

Balloons, bolix! A ghostly flight… A fight for airspace… So much air…blowhard. To sail the seas of America’s skies… Look down upon the stretch of land. It landed, on the eyes of the Montanans. Balloons, buffoons! A clownish cloud passing off a Casper-guise. A surprise visit from Uncle Xi. Tea cups fragile…weather balloon, my $@#. Balloons, BS! Talk talk talk of the atmosphere, holding the rotund idol up there. He won’t fall from his pedestal on his own. Balloons, asail! Assailing, assaulting, insulting. Assyria & Babylon held ear to the breakdown of God’s people elsewhere. Balloons, bah-humbug! Best pay heed. Don’t get bested. Poke holes in the intentionality. 2/7/2023 Sponsor: Anthony Biaanco

We love our party balloons and taking a ride from Oz (Wizard of Oz reference) but let our enemies not prevail. God bless you and thank you, dear one!
