October 8 – “The Moses Trip – Back Home”

I’m an acorn, small and round

Lying on the cold, hard ground.

Everyone walks over me

That is why I’m cracked, you see

I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Not so early morning call

Packed and ready, one and all

Moses learned consistency

Humbled us, ‘cause so must we

Stopped for breakfast in Blue Eye

Reminisced with a big sigh

Round the circle one last time, Aaaaand …

Round the circle one last time

On the road some secrets slip

And THIS bard is NOT tight-lipped

When he naps you must beware

Or take a chance – see how you fare

Cathy flirts with young George Strait

Winks exchanged, is it a date?

Suzann longs for a stagecoach ride

With WOW jeans cowboy at her side

Off the boring (but fast) interstate

Through small towns, there’s six, now eight …

So when you’re tired and need a thrill

Look outside and ”Do the Bill”

Passed a real sad Okie place

People can’t accept its fate

Town is gone but names still rank

Like Prior Farms and Prior Bank

Kenefic and Wewoka

Wapanucka, Wetumka

“Skip these unique named small towns,

“Stop at Arby’s,” Cathy frowned

Arby’s fix for Cathy done

Now she’s glowing like the sun

PK stopped for some “relief”

Girls walked in and gave a screech

Through Atoka we did go

Waved at Wyrick’s lumber show

Then to Tushka, saw our school

That sent us help and words so cool

Back in Texas, half past five

Saw some hot air balloons rise

Cathy’s trivia kept us sane

‘Til we got back home again

In Acts 19:25-26, a pagan idol-maker says, “Men, you know that our prosperity depends upon this business.  You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.”

Father, it’s kind of cool that even a pagan was recognizing that you were at work all around him.  Help us recognize your work as well.  Amen.
