TALKING SENSE TO MYSELF ABOUT CHOICES


 “Ya Might not have much Sense all by Yourself, so when ya must decide, ask someone else – like namely, Buddha-Christ the Lord of All, yes, that's the one on whom ya oughta call!”

BLESSING FOR A GOOD LIFE


 “Now, may your life be sweet, your courage strong, and may abundant joy now Bless your heart. May you enjoy good health, your life be long, and Heaven's wisdom keep ya sane and Smart!” In Jesus' name, amen!

 “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!!”

B4 YA GO 2 FAR

(words to the wise)

“Start Prayin' long b4 ya go 2 far; be Prudent, try ta get yourself Prepared! It's error-prone we humans often Are, and things can work out better if you've cared.
B4 ya go 2 far, why don't ya Pray? Now, don't ya think it's time ya smartened up? Right now, begin to make a better day, if you'd have Blessings overflow your cup!”

PRAYER FOR TRUMP AND ME

 “Oh, please, help Trump get Smart, and straighten up, and please, now, won’t ya do the same fer Me? If I’d have blessings overflow my cup, I can’t use one that’s leaky, now, ya see? Enough said!”



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!”
