Jerry was an evel knievel without the evil part.
But he definitely was a child with a daredevil’s heart.
Get the picture! He would yell as he did flips, flops and other stuff.
He proved all the time that he was reckless and amazingly rough.
Get the picture! He would yell, even when upside down.
We liked everything about him, even though he was a bit of a clown.
I expected him to yell “Did you get the picture?” one day.
But his antics had broken his neck, so he lay in the clay.
Take a chance the new employee said; the entire room laughed.
She is the Evel Knievel of our company, someone informed him.
As a newcomer, he was arrogant and a tad bit mean.
He never got to meet the real me, so he never knew.
I take a chance every opportunity that comes my way.
I am the one who invests in the craziest things imaginable.
I stick my neck out, daring the guillotine to come down.
If he had not been so pompous, he might have gotten to know me.
But he was a misogamist, and I have no room for these people.
So I did not get to know him and he did not get to know me.
He is really great once you get to know him, someone told me.
Additional proof that she is the worst judge of character I know.
Ever-loved by the Lord Almighty, greatly eternal
Verily blessed with salvation security so vital
Earnest in serving thru the Holy Spirit’s empowerment
Learning from God’s Word for victorious life…
Light of the Saviour leads her with gracious liberty
Upholding her steadfast faith upon biblical understanding
Nourished for f r u i t s along discipleship nurture
Abiding* in Christ and midst His goodness, abounding.
*John 15:4 Abide in me (Jesus Christ), and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Dear Ate Evel,
God be praised and thanked for granting you another year to experience His goodness, graciousness, and greatness in your life. Thanks for being a blessing.
A blessed birthday to you. I love you in the Lord.
Some say money is the root of all evil
I believe it is taking unnecessary risks
Let’s ask Evel Knievel!

Proclaim the Lord’s faithfulness with worshipful praise*
Revel along earnest gratitude in His redemption-grace
Adore Him, affirming appreciatively His admirable ways
In His sanctuary, and in His firmament’s power all the days
Speak of His mighty acts along His marvelous goodness-rays
Exalt Him according to His excellent greatness of no delays.
Yield to Him – the Creator to Whom your soul humbly prays
Extol His name with awesome delight, devoid of pride’s trace.
Testify about His compassion where your heart stays
Hail Him – the Almighty God, eternal life’s firm base
Expose His wondrous loving deeds of caring embrace.
Love Him with all your heart midst trials you face
Obey His Word, instructed along spiritual race
Rest in His cheerful peace midst turbulent case
Do trust His omniscience, always perfect, with faith’s yeas.
*Psalm 150:1 “Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary:
Praise him in the firmament of his power.”

I'm at Dunkin Donuts dunking a donut,
for the experience.
Letting my memories pass through me.
Not repressing any of them.
I'm pretending to be a scientist
of the mind.
It's not fun though.
Makes you glad spreadsheets have functions!
Somewhere in the donut crumbs
stirring around in my coffee
is a hidden key to the messages in my head.
There must be a rhythm to all
the misunderstandings and misapprehensions.
But just as soon as I think I've found some answers
a damn truck drives buy and vibrates the windows and the tables and distracts me,
or some saucy ass walks by on the street.
Maybe I should go somewhere else.
No, damn it, I should be able to do this here.
The answers are wrapped in the distractions
now that I think about it.
They are everywhere.
Doesn't matter where I go.
Focus.
Don't focus.
Balance the two.
I'm Evel Knievel of the mind!
Maybe I'll look for a job today.
I should stay here and keep at this though.
I'm on the verge of something.
I know it.
J-ust reach the higher level,
O-n the fourth of September;
N-ever be stagnant,
A-im to become better.
L-eap to a higher level,
Y-our moment is now;
N-ever climb the ladder later, begin to impress or wow.
R-ise above the crowd,
O-utshine to do it well;
S-oar toward the sky,
A-rrive at a higher
L-evel.
S ee summer sun beneath hazy hue.
U nder summer skies of blue.
M eander through mother nature.
M esmerised by her summer features.
E mmerse in sea your little toesies.
R evel in the smell of summer roses.
S aunter home through fields of summer hay.
I nvestigate baby fox at play.
G ather bundle of meadow flowers.
H ang them in your summer bower.
T reasure these memories of summer sights.
S urely in winter they will bring delight.
Sitting with Joseph
playing video games
he stated "Thats what
I want to do when I get older"
talking about the jumps
they made on the bikes
of the video game
a little dare devil waiting to grow
yet never do they have a plan
where do you get
the money for the bike
perhaps you should
train up to be a machanic
that way you'd have a wage
to buy the bike
and have the knowledge
to fix the bikes
Joseph was the type of kid
that was going to be successful
didn't really want to see him
as an Evel Knievel
breaking legs and spines
I like to see him healthy
as the years and time went by
Kids will have their dreams
but need plans to make them grow
connect with education
and perhaps the seeds you sow
What us the matter with the young people of today? Could it be computers?
Stop and think, everything involving young people today has to involve MICRO CHIPS!
things were far different when I was coming along. A street light meant get your ads home right now. We had friends we saw face to face and played every day. Made a sling shot out of tied and stretched rubber bands. Played half rubber, or what the northern states call stick ball, checkers, or maybe chess, monopoly, Risk. Take baseball card and clothes pin and do the back of a bicycle, man you thought you was evel kneivel......these days if if ain't a cell phone or microchips or texting some other kid half way around the world kids don't dig it....I worry....what will the next generation of townspeople have for " their thing" God only knows, and I don't want to."
Knitted wonderfully with power
No need for sorcery or magic to
Officially manifest from its acquisition
Wisdom always stands at its back door
Level of the mind upgrades with more addition,
Ensuring the defeat of superstitious and mythical convictions
Discernment becomes easy and free
Growth and development inevitably results.
Endless is the bank which is its store
What is Blackness?
Is it the colour of my skin that represents my mentallity?
Is it the colour of the crown on my head that shows where I reign?
Is it the depth of my soul's missary?
Is it in the contrast indicating my sanity?
Is it in it length indicating my religion?
Because...
It is the colour of the black whole I veiw from, absorbing all I've seen
It is the colour of my shoes indicating where I've been
It is the colour of death drawing me to live
Drawing stregnth from its nothingness compelling me to give
Up suffercating air that makes it hard to breathe
'Cause it the pure symbol of evel but in only God I beieve
'Cause it is the colour of the dreded hair locking brain in a weave.
G uns are dangerous objects in this modern age
U nless your stupid all safety rules you must engage
N ot a gun or bullet clip in sight or left around
S ensible behaviour keeps everybody safe and sound
A gun can bring pleasure in the right hands
R evolvers are known as six shooters, many brands
E ach should be registered with the police I understand
D anger is always abound when guns are in sight
A s long as guns are in use can cause a fright
N o one should have one unless well informed
G un clubs are excellent for teaching you how to perform
E xcellent chances to go out on a shoot
R evel in the opportunities to watch, be astute
O rderly conduct keeps everyone safe
U ntil the day comes when shootings stop
S afety first must be right there at the top
