S Such is our flesh, natural "man"
I In the language of Testaments, we plan
N Not only to enjoy our sins, but confess
sans decorum and plan
NOTE: Norman Grubb on TESTIMONY advises one ought to confess ones hates and lusts, but in general terms, notvso detailed that hearers and confessor, take delight in sin vicariously again. In the original New Testament, the Greek word METANOIA indicates an U - Turn from SIN, as in a 180 degree change of direction. The change is in a heart where God's spirit uses conscience & Scripture (WORD) in silent metamorphosis ( into the New Man Or Woman). Hallelujah
I
My own Shepherd, today I'm sheep indeed
Jesus, thank You for being there
Matthew 11:28 says Upon Me, cast your care
Ah yes, I'm still primary school, my faith a mustard seed
II
Lord, I thank you for Wendolene (since 2015,
A widow. Raised 4 kids alone from age 38)
The older, you helped marry, now with children
But help us with the boys, O terrible teen age!
III
Lord, my prayer awaits a heartfelt amen
Spirit readily forgives, so long as Jesus we love
Norman Grubb, great missionary among men
Wrote: Spirit flows after ebb, but for "excuses," nope!
Snow everywhere
once joined, now melting apart
causing much distress.
Santa got divorced and also got fixed
too many little Santa's running around because of his tricks
Santa liked the women.
Too many little guys were swimmin' ;)
Now we all know how Santa got his kicks!
Santa slept around and ate too much grubb
His wife finding out made him join the North Pole Divorce Club!
