An Ark Full of Critters

Before the flood, Noah loaded the ark

with 2 bears, 2 lions, and some larks.

But why, oh why’d God have to put

two spiders on the ark???

 

I’m OK with 2 elephants,

2 zebras, 2 cows and 2 goats;

but why do you figure He wanted to put

2 termites on a wooden boat???

 

Horses are also OK with me,

and dogs and cats and mandrakes;

but for the life of me, I can’t figure

His reason for adding on snakes!

 

It was cool that He added ostriches,

and giraffes and pigs and crows,

but I can’t think of a single good thing

about fleas, ticks or mosquitoes!

 

I’ve often wondered about these things,

one day I’ll have to ask Him.

I’m firmly convinced that flies must be

a result of man’s penchant for sin! J

"You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female; also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth. Genesis 7:2-3

Eternal Retirement

Eternal retirement's my fervent hope,

I’ll finally get some rest!

And never know another thing,

except the very best!

I'll be able to eat what I want,

and won't gain weight at all!

I'll never have to worry again

'bout too much cholesterol!

I'll never get a headache,

or feel the need to sleep.

I'll never again get hurt,

or feel the need to weep.

I'll never ever be broke again;

pure peace will be my rewards.

Richard & I will ride a Harley

that runs on the power of the Lord!

We won't be walked on anymore,

no more will people tease us.

And no more darkness will we see,

for our eternal light is Jesus!!!

Woman

By the sixth day of Creation,

all was made according to plan;

but Jehovah was still lonely,

so He decided to make man.

God formed him from the dust of the earth,

and breathed into him new life;

but man had no suitable helper,

so the Lord made him a wife.

The wife was called a "woman";

life was never again the same!

Cuz you haven’t lived, dear brothers,

until you’ve met a dame!  J
