AFRAID OF THE UNKNOWN

Two Christians have lived very good and also very healthy lives. They die, and went to heaven.
As they are walking along, marveling at the paradise around them, one turns to the other and says "Wow, I never knew heaven was going to be as good as this!"
"Yeah", says the other. "And just think,

LAW IS LOVE
We have a little 10 lb. Sheltie-Poo at home, and we all love him. He thinks he’s so macho as he stands in our bay window, looking out at the street. A big German Shepherd walks his owner down our sidewalk every day, and our little Teddy goes nuts trying to get thru that window and take

THE ODE TO THE INNKEEPER
The Innkeeper stands, he is guarding the door
He's got all he wants, he has room for no more

But don't come inside, I've so much to do
I haven't the time to listen to you.'
A night

Hell Is Real
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went into my classroom
Ready for another year at school.
I didn’t want the work,
Just wanted to hang and be cool.
I had on new clothes,
New sneaks on my feet.
I was there for class on time
Went to the back and took my seat.
Yeah, I’m moving up.
