HELP ME AVOID CONCEIT!

“When I believe I'm wise, I really stink! Oh, please don't pride yourself on what ya think! Intelligence gets compromised by lies; the prudent 's careful what the prudent buys!!”

THE NEED TO PRAY

“Why take for granted that you'll wisely choose? A fool is careless, hardly even tries. It's everything a fool might stand ta lose, if he or she the need ta pray denies….”

PRAYING FOR PEACE AND JOY

“Please, fill my heart with kindness, love, and peace; from foolishness and fears my heart release! Whatever 's gotta come, ta turn my life around, please, bring ta me, until your Joy I've found!...”

“Lord, teach me not ta be a crazy fool, who thinks he's wise and rarely tries ta pray, who's often vain enough ta think he's cool, whose habits help him fritter time away! No, make of me a conscientious guy, and help me live a life that honors You. Please, help me get myself and others high, by showing love with everything I do! Please and thank you!”

GIVE IT UP TO JESUS

“What Will ya sacrifice ta Christ today? Why not give up your faithlessness and fears! Is that too high a price, ta have ta pay? Such foolishness may bring ya many tears!

“Why not surrender All to Him, right here, 'cause You'll discover freedom, as ya do! Why let the prideful doubting interfere? The Savior Jesus wants ta Rescue you!”

TURN AROUND

“Trump prides himself on nonsense every day, and Pence? Complicit, friends, as he can be. It seems that ignorance and greed are holding sway, and harming life and good from A-ta-Z. Republicans, you often act like scum, and Democrats, you've no excuse at all. Why pride yourselves on doing stuff that's dumb? At times you show unmitigated Gall! Dear Lord, relieve us, please, of folks like those! Transform their hearts and minds ta kinder ones! This ecocidal era, let's us close! Destroy the bombs and automatic guns! Destroy the missiles, feed and house the poor! Provide fer all the best of Health care Now! Let none of us be heartless, anymore! Lord, Lead our hearts ta Love, and show us How!”

LIBERTINE

“A libertine's a very foolish sort. Self-discipline he often does without. He wastes his wealth, and then he comes up short. He's foolish, faithful friend, without a doubt!”

THE LIGHT OF LOVE

NO KVETCHING

“Right Now, Lord, cast the kvetcher out O' me! Please, strengthen my resolve ta GRATEFUL BE! Please, help me always practice thankful ways, and offer up ta You my thanks and praise! My griping closes off my blessings’ flow, and they’re diverted elsewhere, this I know. Please, help me not be stubborn – Foolish, Lord! My gratitude will get my blessings scored! “Complain”, now that’s a word that rhymes with “pain”, that doing sends your blessings down the drain! So, help me straighten up and do what’s right, and then in thankfulness I’ll find delight! Right?”

THE FOOL AND THE LORD

“The fool believes himself ta be quite Smart, his heart beset by vanity and pride. But life may soon upset his apple cart, and he may cop ta truths he’s long denied! Like, 'Jesus Christ is Lord' and 'Jesus Saves', and 'love’s the very finest thing around'. There ain’t no point in being sorrow’s slaves! So, cop ta Jesus Christ, and You’ll Get Found!”

WHY BE A FOOL?

(note for myself)

“Intelligent, but thinking like a fool – there’s many folks around the World like that. We monkeys tend ta think we’re Wise, and Cool, but Doing so is Nuts, not Where it’s At! Yes, vanity is foolish, through and through; when You be Proud, you’re apt ta blow it bad! So don’t be vain, if you would have a clue, but humbly pray, dear self, and You’ll be Glad!” “Why be a fool, when Life’s a School?!”

THE LOST GET FOUND

“Oh, once I realized I’d been a fool; intelligence appeared, right then and there. And when I understand that life’s a school, I think I better do some more ta care. ‘Cause kindness, that’s a skill I need ta learn, a grace I need ta practice every day. I gotta show some genuine concern, for love within my heart I ought ta pray. So, Heaven, Help me learn ta love much more, enough to cover all the earth around. ‘Cause love’s what many folks are waiting for, the freedom, peace, and joy of being Found! Lord, help me bring all those!”

YA GOTTA COP TA CHRIST

“Dear Soul, it never pays ta fool around, not knowing Christ as Lord, and Savior, too. You might be lost, in need of being found; you might have heard that Jesus Saves; it’s true! Dig, Years ago, my bod was gonna die, and so I asked the Lord ta Rescue me, and soon he Proved ta me he Heard my cry, he cured my illness, friend; he made me free!”

BEWARE OF FOOLISHNESS

“Of every type of foolishness, beware! If you’d stay free, you’ll practice faithful care. Avoid the company of fools and creeps; don’t Be the careless one, who walking, sleeps!”

NO FOOLING

(to the Lord)

“May foolishness stay very far from me; may gravity remain my faithful friend. Please, grant me sober equanimity; on you, my Rock, today, I shall depend.”

PRAYER FOR HELP

"Lord, help me never feel compelled to sin. And let me never be a fool, who strays. Please, help me every day with prayer begin; may Holy Spirit's flame within me blaze! Please, help me concentrate on serving you, on doing what's most wise and truly kind! Lord, help me never be without a clue, and keep my heart toward righteousness inclined! THANK YOU!"
