Their Favorite Toy

Out in the field I went today
A big ball of fur coming my way
So happy she was I come to play

When from my side comes the other one too
I take off running together they persue
Sure wish I had a good running shoe

In the tall grass I dive in to hide
back at me they came running side by side
get out of the way before we collide

I love my dogs they bring me such joy
Sometimes I think I am their favorite toy

Our Son

Our Son the Soldier
How great a man he must be
To be joined in the fight to
set another part of the world free

Our Son the Soldier
So very proud of you we are
To all of us who love you,
you will always be our shining star

Our Son the Soldier
So far from home and in a foreign place
Just close your eyes to
see a familiar smiling face

Our Son the Soldier
So very far away
We will all be waiting with open
arms on your coming home day

The Intimidator

He knew when he was a boy
that racing was his game
As he got better in his car
They knew he wouldn't be easy to tame

As his racing years went on
he became to many The Intimidator
In the hearts of many and his son
he soon became their main mentor

He is known today as a racing legend
because of his style and races won
We will all remember that fateful day
The Daytona 500, February 18,2001

His name is Dale Earnhardt
and if you ever saw him race
the one thing we will all remember
is his intimidating face

Prayer for Ruby Lee

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know of this woman who needs your help in a bad way.
I have heard she is having a bad time, and her grand-daughter is there to stay
I don't know much about her Lord, all I know is her name is Ruby Lee
she needs a bit of your strength and love
so she can go home healthy and happy
I'm sure her family has been very stress and sleepless nights
I ask you Lord for peace and strength till, the day her family reunites
Please give Ruby Lee strength for her body to heal
and for her family, I ask your grace on them please reveal

In Your Name We Pray, Amen
