receive inner wealth which is freely given; be no money changer
Proverbs 8:10
Receive my instruction, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Jesus Was No Stranger
To difficulty Jesus was no stranger;
Horse did bit him while in manager;
Never corrupt;
Grew up abrupt;
Turned table on a money changer.

Group Did Begin Grieving
What a group did was to begin grieving;
Then many memories started retrieving;
Remember forever,
And forget never;
Their soul and spirit still were receiving.
Jim Horn
How about having a bodacious burger,
That one day had been stolen by a burglar;
Catsup and mustard,
Had occurred;
Need a drink with it and had been a gurgler.
Jim Horn
Sure must have been such a sight to see;
Did bring much discomfort to you and me;
In single breath,
There was death,
And to think they nailed Him to a tree.
Jim Horn
Need a ride so in church will abide inside?
Wonder if my neighbor needs a ride,
To church and choir practice to abide;
Loudly singing;
Bells ringing;
With the spirit it will be well supplied.

Last Straw in Berries
In some berries, we found the last straw,
And a picture of it we would try to draw;
Picture was fine,
Of a straight line,
Had heard some did slide down her bra.
Jim Horn
Had been hearing about a blatant blurb,
Efforts exerted so they can find an herb;
Tried and tried;
He lied and lied;
Trump's idiotic cravings it now can curb.
Jim Horn
Wrote many poems now and way back
When, but seems like I did loose track;
Some caste aside;
Others had to hide,
Want to view poems each has a crack.
Jim Horn
Way up high my mind started to soar,
Above some sandy and pretty shore;
Birds flew;
Quite a few;
Loved it and want to do much more.

Trump A Tiny Tot On Trial
Trump always did seem so infantile;
That was his manner and also style;
Diapers does need,
Which will impede;
Can you imagine him being on trial.
Jim Horn
To difficulty Jesus was no stranger;
Horse did bit him while in manager;
Never corrupt;
Grew up abrupt;
Turned table on a money changer.
This is where expression turn table
on someone came from. You have
to take turns turning tables though.
Jim Horn
God sent his Ambassador of peace
To teach us benevolence, to give us surcease
From the wickedness that prevailed on the earth.
All this should have changed with the dear Saviors birth.
How sad are the heaven’s at warring world's woe.
God gave us the answer all those years ago.
He died for our sins and He went willingly
Still teaching that love is way it should be.
Every gardener knows no weed can survive,
If you cut off the food that keeps it alive.
If we take the greed from our hearts you and I
The same from the top will wither and die.
Every creature lives on the lowly below.
If we change in our ways, they’ll have no where to go.
If you have a sick tree, you don’t cut from the top.
You provide the roots needs and the illness will stop.
Every drug lord would go broke soon enough.
If not a consumer was buying their stuff.
Every money changer would have a big fall.
If none of us wanted their goods after all.
If changing the world is your aim start at home.
This will keep you quite busy with no need to roam.
He showed us how when He came from above.
The answer forever and always is love.
