TOO MANY SPICES MAKE YOU SICK


(to someone focusing on unwholesome things)

“Too much attention paid ta crazy stuff! Of bullshit, some can't seem ta get enough. Your jaded mental tongue can't taste what's sweet; what Is this cockamamie crap ya eat? Too many evils tickling your brain, and blessings disappearing down the drain! Your mental food is way too over-spiced! Why not surrender all ta Buddha-Christ?”

Note: “Paying attention to what is not is like spice for your brain food.”

A GUY LIKE YOU OR ME


 “A man was lost, and knew not What-ta-Do, and trouble dogged his steps day-After-day. If only he could find a helpful clue, but he was much too proud, and dumb, ta pray. When things would get real bad, 'twas then he'd cop, and straighten up awhile, and have success. Habitual doubt, he knew he had ta drop, and Always trust the Lord ta guide and bless. And so the man began ta practice peace, and often wait and pray before he'd act. He knew that his rebelliousness must cease, for him ta find the wisdom that he lacked. So, Lord, please, Help out every soul like that! Help Everyone ta walk the Rainbow Way! Ta Love like You 's Exactly Where it's At – please, Help us Love! In Jesus' name, we pray! Amen!”
