OUT TO SAVE THE WORLD II

 “The lunatics all stir their witches' brew, they're running wild in Washington, D.C.! And then there's Christ, 'n folks like me and you, who hold our world's salvation golden key: it's bein' Brave, and speakin' Truth Combined; appreciating beauty where it's found; and most especially it's being Kind; it's treating Planet Earth as holy ground. So will we people turn that key or not? I've heard it said that love's a free-will act. So let's all give it everything we Got, and make a just and peaceful world a Fact! What do ya have to say ta That?”

HELP WITH PLANNING

Dear Lord,
“Please, help me very wisely plan my day, and all of your instructions understand. Then help my mind remember what we've planned; then help me follow through, if that's okay! Together we can do what's kind and good, and help ta save this world that needs it so. Together we can Make it, this I Know, and I'll have done the very Best I could! So, thank you very much, my loving Lord!”
