I Am From.... by Tana LeMay

(Modeled after a poem by Georgia Ella Lyons)

I am from weekends at the farm
with a cranky pony named Ginger and a friendly mutt called Buzz.
I am from waking up to the voice of Jan Rush,
the sizzling of frying bacon and the smell of brewing coffee.
I am from the Dog n Suds and root beer mugs and
helping Dad bag Christmas treats for his bus route kids.
I am from Barbie dolls, paper dolls and endless games of rummy.
I am from summers at the Drive-In, taking tickets, boxing popcorn,
and five straight nights of Cool Hand Luke.
I am from tri-colored shag carpets where the wolf spiders hid;
from Fairground street, with the ornery Britton kids as neighbors.
I am from elephant pants and velour sweaters;
from Seasons in the Son, Elvis Presley and Elton John.
I am from formal living rooms reserved only for company,
family vacations, Cardinal baseball and VBS.
I am from fried chicken and homemade rolls every Sunday;
from strawberry picking and gathering eggs. I don’t like hens.
I am from 3 hours drives on Christmas Eve and unwrapping gifts at 2:00 am.
I am from Walter Kronkite, the Vietnam War and Watergate.
I am from John Wayne movies and Sunday nights dedicated to Gun Smoke.
Through it all, I am from my heavenly Father,
yesterday, today and tomorrow.

I Am by Joyce Schafer

(Modeled after a poem by Georgia Ella Lyons)

I am from John Deere tractors and Chevy trucks
I am from barns full of cows, pigs, chickens and kitty cats
I am from my dogs, Laddy and Stubby and my pet calf, Rowdy
I am from barefeet, mud puddles, bee stings and mosquito bites
I am from paper dolls, baby dolls, dress up clothes and tea sets
I am from hoeing in the garden, berry picking, gathering eggs and feeding pigs
I am from homemade noodles, donuts, bread and pies
I am from my grandmother's wood stove and her spiced peaches and
My grandfather's rocking chair and wooden cane
I am from my father's overalls and straw hats and
My mother's print dresses and big aprons.
I am from my sister's hand-me-downs and
My brother's put-me-downs
I am from learning to sew in 4-H, playing my saophone in the band and singing in church
I am from my pink bedroom with little pink chair, green frog, and white fluffy dog.
I am from work before play, early to bed and early to rise, get good grades,
dress like a girl and don't talk back.
I am from God and I am blessed

God is in Control! by Theresa Zuber

Daniel 2:20-21 (The Message) says

"Blessed be the name of God,
forever and ever.
He knows all, does all:
He changes the seasons and guides history,
He raises up kings and also brings them down,"

I have to say that I am concerned about where our world is headed. Regardless of who won the election, our nation has gotten itself in a disastrous situation with disregard for human life, deteriorating morals and has adopted a completely self-centered focus.

That said, I still claim the promise that God knows all and that he raises up kings and brings them down. Therefore, I may be concerned, but I'm not worried. I don't fret over what's going to happen, because I know that God is in control of it all! It helps me have the hope that it's all going to work out.

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Vote!!! Take a stand on moral issues!
