The Father is never overwhelmed Or put off by our problems

The Father is never overwhelmed 
Or put off by our problems
He can help us
He gives us the tranquillity 
Despite the situation as
We learn to trust Him.

When our Heavenly Father Speaks
Things change; we might look weak, but
Things change because of the Promises of God!

The Truth of His Word and
The certainty of His ability is a beautiful reality.
Fixing our eyes on Jesus refocuses us 
And things start to change because of the promises in the Bible.

Premium Member Plight of a Lazy Man

There was a lazy, bald-headed man
Felt sunny day like a frying- pan 
Put him up to his nest
Put his work off to rest
Got bump on head due to fallen fan.

Put Off and Prolong

Put Off and Prolong
.
Put off and prolong
Sure seems to be same old song;
Stick us with their prong.

How much more can we
Take while we also endure;
Wish there were fewer.

Of them Republicans
A bunch of son of a guns;
Want women with big buns.

Wonder what is the stage
We are in with all the rage;
Is hair orange or beige.

James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Virginia born.
Portsmouth Naval Hospital to be
exact as a matter of fact.


Put Off

“We should do this again soon,” she says, but that’s not what she means and I should know this. It’s in the history of our relationship that she puts me off every time I want to get together.  And yet, when I see her again, I think, this time will be different, this time she means it, because we have so much fun together. 

Two weeks pass before I ask her to lunch again. She says, “Maybe next week.” Next week comes and I ask again – no answer this time. Another week passes and she puts me off, saying, “We’ll see...” So why do I keep trying? Clearly she doesn’t want to see me. But why? What did I do? Is she faking a good time with me when we do get together? I can’t get it through my head – the P. I see in person and the P. who doesn’t return my phone calls or messages - how can they be so different?

I have to believe
she loves me
not

Never Do Today What You Can Put Off Until Tomorrow

I purchased a brand new desktop
Quite sure I will use it alot
Still sits in the corner
Like Little Jack Horner
Procrastinate? Certainly not!

Why Put Off Today

we often tends to spoil today 
by stressing about tomorrow
life is becoming such an awful display
filled with disappointment and sorrows
denying ourselves the oppertunity to play
with all ours worries about tomorrow
we should fun with today 
enjoy it the way it was ment
before it become yesterday 
full of valuable time unspent
take advanage of today 
cuase tomorrow you cant trust
a pretty picture it might potray
but it;s really not promised to us.
