Another rumor? No, fact. I interview tomorrow for a different job at 1pm. I really don't want to leave CCU; but, I need something less stressful for a while. I've been back almost 9 years. Wow. Doesn't seem like that long ago but it was! Nine years ago gas was under $1.50/ gallon. Getting over that price in May is what prompted me to return to Bowling Green. Now look at it! Yesterday it was 3.22 and this morning it was 3.50. Shouldn't be over 1.50. Don't get me started.
I still have friends in Massachusetts. I haven't heard from them today and pray they are safe! Today I posted on Facebook the song Willie Nelson and Toby Keith put out a few years ago: 'Whiskey for My Men, Beer for My Horses". Now, everyone who knows me knows I don't drink and don't condone getting drunk. But, the other words to this song say a lot. Pretty much it's talking about justice for the victim - people taking (or being forced to take) responsibility for their actions. I'm thinking its also talking about protecting the public not the criminal. I agree!
Here's the song copied from the Internet:
Well a man, come on
Six o'clock news
Says somebody been shot
Somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole their car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far, yeah
They didn't get too far
Grandpappy told my pappy
Back in my day, son
A man had to answer
For the wicked thing he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys
And hang 'em high in the street
For all the people to see
And justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back
At the local saloon
We'll raises up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!
We got too many gangsters
Doing dirty deeds
Too much corruption
And crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law
Put a few more in the ground
Send them all to their Maker
And he'll set them on down
You can bet, He'll set 'em down
Cause justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gunsmoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back
At the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, ;Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!
You know justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gunsmoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all met back
At the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, ;Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!
Singing ;Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!'
That song says volumes!! It really does!!!
I love all y'all! ❤
To be continued......
Please pray for our country that our great nation might return to the old paths and make our way straight! Wake up America before its too late!!
Please pray for your friends and neighbors. Especially the local friends who have been affected by violence and that they receive as much justice as possible!
I haven't seen any hummers just yet but look forward to their return. They are one of my favorite birds to watch. I haven't put much out for the birds lately. I am trying to deter the black birds from taking over the feeders. They were getting really bad and keeping my birds from the feeders.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job interview tomorrow!!
