The WORD of the Week

Matthew 3:7-10

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

I'm off, peeps... don't burn the place down while I'm away...

I leave you with the following Political Cartoon (concept) [sorry, didn't have time to draw it out]...

At the top, the words, "White House," done up like the Fox TV show "House" logo.

George W Bush as Dr. White House, scruffy faced, casually dressed, and leaning on a cane.

Lying in a hospital bed, hooked up to all sorts of machines and looking like hell run over, a dark complexioned man with headdress labeled "Iraq."

Dr. White House speaks: "WMDs in your system would have explained all the symptoms... but the treatment only seemed to make things worse...and unfortunately you responded negatively to the liberation we injected... so now we're force feeding you democracy through that tube in your stomach... that will cure you... or kill you...that's always a possibility... but it's a risk I'm willing to take."

There ya go... if anyone knows how to draw... have at it... I'm sure you'll win some million dollar prize for it... so, I would request twenty bucks for my troubles... and, it'd be your money, so it's your call, but if it were me I'd shoot a fiver the prez's way.

And finally...

Count your blessings every day... and when counting, remember those less fortunate than you... and when remembering, keep in mind that God loves and cares for all of His children, and those things you count as blessings and fortunes, others may not.

Be good.

Lyrics of the Week

ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits

("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")

sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.

so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.

and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.

so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.

so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.

so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
