Without Excuse

Praising God today just for who He is.

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

Romans 1:20

Warrior Man

This is a poem my Grandma (Sweetie) wrote about my Papa just before he passed away.  I couldn't be more proud of either of them!

Warrior Man


He was just a country boy-Small knowledge of the world-Slight of frame-Bright blue eyes-Coal black hair that curled


Finished high school when seventeen-Played baseball ran track-Won state medals-Silver and gold-Endurance he didn't lack


His dream was to be a farmer-But land was hard to find-He made a choice-His country called-Was young and in his prime


Traveled the world, sometimes alone-When fighting in two different wars-Korea, Viet Nam-Was hit by a bomb-Has mental and physical scars


Came back to the Bootheel to choose a wife-Soon had three kids in tow-All were beautiful-All were bright-These children he loved so


Had many medals to pin on his chest-Representing the best of the best-He did what he could-For America's good-Was A-One when put to the test


A soldier at dawn, a student at night-He finally had his degree-Promotions came fast-The die was cast-A college degree was the key


Finally retired after twenty four years-Was offered Bird-Colonel to stay-With kids in their teens-Who needed some roots-Retirement would be the best way


Taught school ten years, principal for two-Has finished his Masters at last-Job offers Middle East-Boston, D.C.-For him that time had passed


Truth and Justice, Honor and Courage-That's how he chose to live-To do what's right-With all his might-He had so much to give


To know him now, this gentle soul-Except for his biggest fan-The things he's done-You'd never know-He once was a "Warrior Man"!
