More Teen Abuse for the CPS?

MORE TEEN ABUSE FOR THE CPS?
It is my guess that we will no doubt be seeing the entire community of Gloucester, Mass. being raided by the CPS, local sheriff, FBI, etc. for the despicable outbreak of pregnancy amongst teenage girls in the high school there. What kind of school system are they running anyway? [...]



Death is a Hunter

Death is a Hunter
Death of a Nation
“What’s going to happen now? - Darkness?” The night was falling around us but in a very different way than our memory could recall.
The images, the shadows that stalked our awakening were upon us - closing in, surrounding us - hedging our escape. The air was stifled [...]



Well, Excuse Me

Well, Excuse Me.
An analysis of the “news”

Let me keynote this by saying that I don’t regularly take an AP article and critique it, but that is what I am about to do – believe me, the following comments will be my opinion and as such – there is a good possibility that I may be [...]



Our National Acceptance of Serial Polygamy

Our National Acceptance of Serial Polygamy
I personally am relieved to see the children of US Citizens living in a small west Texas village being returned to their parents. We will all be watching the continued harassment of these children and their parents with great interest. The latest twist is that the State is [...]



The River Crossing

The River Crossing
We are crossing a river
Deep and wide
And before we enter, let’s pray
And then I have something to say.
We have picked the safest way across
And we’ve tried to think it through
There are some of us who could cross alone
But they are reticent and few
The current is dangerous and swift
But cross the river we must
For [...]



Fool for Christ

By BBennettJ • May 29th, 2008 • Category: Poems

Fool for Christ
Fool enough to follow
Fool enough to believe
Fool enough to take a stand

Fool enough to speak up
Fool enough to ask
Fool enough to listen
Fool enough to trust His Word
Fool enough to to play the fool
For all the fools who won’t
Fool enough to see the foolishness
Of all the great accomplishments of men
To watch the river carry
All [...]



Refugees

By BBennettJ • May 29th, 2008 • Category: Poems

Refugees
Bowing their heads as they go
Shoulders drooped
Discouraged
Tattered
Empty and stressed
Looking for something to save them
Longing for peace
Longing for rest
Battling out of the swift pollution
Crawling up on the shore
Bound for chains and slavery
Bound to suffer more
If only I could save them
There’s no choice but passing on
The time of escape from the horror
Slipped away and is gone
Men and [...]



Let’s Have a Reality Check

Let’s Have a Reality Check
When I started this blog I had no intention of commenting on politics, and I will attempt to refrain from doing so. Politics is a business that I have no stomach for, and as such know little about - other than my nauseous reaction to it. However, when “The [...]



The Fool

By BBennettJ • May 25th, 2008 • Category: Poems

The Fool
Twas then that I began
To play the fool
For all reason was abandoned
Good and Evil were embraced

So answer not the fool
Lest thou be just like him
For folly has an end
As the darkness yields to dawn
The sun will rise
The seeds will grow
We’ll reap a mighty harvest
Then we will be moving on

A fool to be a pilgrim?
You’re [...]

HAVE you driven past a Casino recently? Know anyone personally who has won the Lottery - or even the scratch lottery? Been chasin’ anything lately? How is your pocket change? And your family?
HOW about the place you call home? And your neighbors - how are they? [...]
