Happy New Year 2014

Repost -

This Poem came from Rhymes of Bible Doctrine (and other poems) written in 1949 by Benj. F. Dotson. I was given the booklet by my good friend, Dr. Dennis J. Brown. jnh

The new year, January one,

Tells us another year’s begun;

Adding one more span to the years,

Before the age-end soon appears;

Old nineteen hundred forty-eight,

Brought us so many things of fate;

The world’s outlook is not so bright,

The peace we hope is not in sight.

Nations are seething and in fear,

Worrying much that war is near;

They do not have that peace and calm,

For fear of the atomic bomb;

They fear America they say;

That is war we will lead the way;

They should know war of aggression,

Would ne’er be waged by this nation.

America wants lasting peace,

For wars of ev’ry kind to cease;

That nations should dwell together,

Doing good to one another;

Laying aside all suspicion,

Ev’ry act of indiscretion;

Live in harmony day by day,

We’re sure this is the Bible way.

But it won’t be, we’re sad to tell,

It would defeat a devil’s hell;

‘Twould also contradict the word,

Its revelations of the sword;

The age-end is too close in war,

Its Tribulation’s exit door;

It will bring the millennium,

That glorious age yet to come.

Cheer up, sad heart, lift up thy head,

There is One risen from the dead;

His soon return we are assured,

To reward those who have endured

The trials and sufferings for His sake,

Oh, let us for Him undertake;

His oft reproaches gladly bear,

Until we meet Him in the air.

Welcome to the Email Wonderland

Sung to the tune of "Walking In A Winter Wonderland"

Another "ping", 

Are you listenin'? 

The puter screen, 

Is a glistenin'. 

With icons so bright, 

They light up the night, 

Welcome to the e-mail wonderland! 

Gone away, 

Are the hall talks. 

Here to stay, 

Is the IN-BOX. 

Flagged "urgent, please read!", 

And "answer with speed!". 

Welcome to the e-mail wonderland! 

In the morning e-mails start to add up. 

No lunch today cause messages abound. 

Just click away and hope the server stays up. 

You can't do your job if it goes down. 

10 P.M., 

You're not tired. 

The caffeine, 

Has got you wired. 

The day's not complete, 

Till the last delete, 

Welcome to the e-mail wonderland! 

In the morning e-mails start to add up, 

No lunch today cause messages abound. 

Just click away and hope the server stays up. 

You can't do your job if it goes down. 

Until you, 

Are retired, 

The same old grind, 

It is required. 

You'll face unafraid, 

That message parade. 

Welcome to the e-mail wonderland!

Three Wise Women

Do you know what would have happened if it had been three wise women instead of three wise men?

They would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts!
-----------------------------------
That's what they would like you to believe. However, this is what
would have really happened.

They would have been late getting started (It's tough to get your
make-up so that it doesn't clash with the camel).
Then one would have to go back to change clothes because her outfit was too similar to one of the other's.
After a quick (6 hours) stop at the mall for the gift, they would have
a huge fight about whether or not a Barney Sleeper fell into the
category of swaddling clothes.
Half way to the oasis the camel would have broken down (no one checked his water level). After finally arriving at Bethlehem (They had to stop and ask directions 12 times), they stopped at a beauty parlor to get their hair done (They couldn't see the baby looking like that).
When they saw the stable they turned around and went back to a Howard Johnson's and got a room for everyone (There was no way they were going to stay in a dump like that).
The feminine trio finally arrived back at the stable only to find that
the new parents had left for Egypt.

Merry Christmas, from Bro. Jeff
