Do You Have A Brain?
It is not at all uncommon in our day to meet people who insist that no intelligent person can accept what is not in complete agreement with human reason or what lies outside the realm of human experience. Which reminds us of how an aged Quaker once confronted a young ![rationalist.
This young man declared:](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

Drum by a Barrel
Cruising up the lake I drove
Beyond my normal fishing holes
Searching for that special one
to have a little splendid fun
When to my left I spot a scene
A quiet cove beyond all dreams
Turning sharply on the wheel
I throttle down and grab my reel
Flip the troller ![- speed at a crawl
Set to cast and drop my jaw!
NO FISHING Here Beyond This Rope
Read the sign nailed to a float
What rule is this that cramps my style
I've searched far and long - come many a mile
By who's authority to hold me back?
I felt my rights were under attack
I didn't know the owner's name
Some say he's crazy some say he's sane
Other declare he's long past gone
But all I knew this sign was wrong!
The lake was mine in all its glory
Still I thirst for more, so here's the story
I pushed the rope down with my oar
Drowning the sign I chose to ignore
Stealth like gliding I made my way
Toward some hickory trees in decay
Further in the air grew stale
The water dingy it had a smell
Focus now - this is your chance
If I can woo her I'll do my dance
There's my ticket - a sunken barrel
Tossed my spinner and gave it a whirl
When in a flash I felt a bump
Knew in a jiffy I was not skunked!
I felt a shimmer shoot up my spine
>From something tugging the end of my line
I have you now, you beautiful thing
It's what I came for - my voice in sing
I have to admit she put up a fight
But it was useless under my might.
To the spoils - reaching down to grab her
Lifting her high in triumphant gesture
Oh me! Oh my! What have I done?
It's not a bass, but a sleazy Old Drum!
Before I knew it she gave me the slip
Sliding behind me slapping my hip.
She flipped and flopped with no shame or regret
as she knocked over tackle and slimed up the deck
What in the world have you done to me?
Get out of here before someone sees!
For I am a bass man, a true one untold
A long standing member, a name to uphold
I lunged out at her with a snarl and a shout
But hooked my shoe on the lure she spit out
Losing my balance I fell like a tree
Landing in ooze skinning my knee
Lying beside her I smelled her stench breath
I started to gag, longing for death
Get out you - you boat wrecker! I said with a cry
As I squeezed her ungently around her soft sides
I flung her over, yet not soon enough
For she let out on me mustard like stuff
I lay there in horror feeling dirty inside
Not knowing to gun it or sink down and hide
How did this happen? Why to me?
Wiping my face on the end of my sleeve
That Stupid fish! I grimaced in pain
Then let out a chuckle knowing who was to blame
See, I'd ignored the sign, and broken the law
Thought it was decrepit, with one or two flaws
But that did not change the fact of its power
For had I obeyed I'd be fishing this hour
Now this was a warning from a No Fishing sign
Imagine leaving God's Commandments behind
Whether you treat it like an old artifact
Stuffed in a glass case or hid out back
The results for breaking will still be the same
For there's power in those words because of](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

Have You Tasted My Jesus?
At the University of Chicago Divinity School each year they have what is called "Baptist Day". It is a day when all the Baptists in the area are invited to the school because they want the Baptist dollars to keep coming in.
On this day each one is to bring a lunch to be ![eaten outdoors in a grassy picnic area. Every](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

The Most Beautiful Flower
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read
Beneath the long,straggly branches of an old willow tree.
Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown,
For the world was intent on dragging me down.
And if that weren't enough to ruin my day,
A young boy out of ![breath approached me, all tired from play.
He stood right before me with his head tilted down
And said with great excitement,](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

A Little Fellow Follows Me
A careful man I ought to be,
A little fellow follows me.
I dare not go astray,
For fear he'll go the self-same way.
I cannot once escape his eyes,
Whatever he see me do, he tries.
Like me, he says, he's going to be,
The little chap who follows me.
He thinks that ![I am good and fine,
Believes in every word of mine.
The base in me he must not see,
That little fellow who follows me.
I must remember as I go,
Thru summers' sun and winters' snow.
I am building for the years to be,
In the little chap who follows me.](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

Angels Unaware
It was a rainy night in New Orleans
At a bus station in the town,
I watched a young girl weeping
As her baggage was taken down.
It seems she'd lost her ticket
Changing buses in the night.
She begged them not to leave her there
With no sign of help in sight.
The ![bus driver had a face of stone
And his heart was surely the same.](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

The Cross Room
The young man was at the end of his rope.
Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer.
"Lord, I can't go on," he said.
"I have too heavy a cross to bear."
The Lord replied,
"My son, if you can't bear it's weight,
just place your cross inside this ![room.
Then open another door and pick any cross you wish.](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

The Road Of Life
At first, I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I did wrong; so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He was there sort of like a picture of a president. I recognized His picture when I saw it, but I really didn't know ![Him.
Later on when I met Christ, it seemed as though life was like a bike ride, on a tandem bike, and I noticed that Christ was in the back helping me pedal. I don't recall when he suggested we change places, but life has not been the same since.
When I had control, it was rather boring, and predictable . . . It was the shortest distance between two points. But when He took the lead, He knew the exciting paths to take, up mountains, and through rocky places at breakneck speeds -- it was all I could do to just hang on! At times it seemed like madness. He said:](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

How Rich Are We?
One day a father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be.
They spent a day and a night on the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the ![trip?](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim, ![Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

Prayers Can't Be Answered Unless They Are Prayed
Life without purpose is barren indeed
There can't be a harvest unless you plant seed There can't be attainment unless there's a goal
And man's but a robot unless there's a soul
If we send no ships out, no ships will come in
And unless there's a ![contest, nobody can't win
For games can't be won unless they are played
And prayers can't be answered unless they are prayed
So whatever is wrong with your life today
You'll find a solution if you kneel down and pray
Not just for pleasure, enjoyment and health
Not just for honors and prestige and wealth
But pray for a purpose to make life worth giving
And pray for the joy of unselfish giving
For great is your gladness and rich your reward
When you make your life's purpose the choice of the Lord.](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

I Corinthians For Mothers
If I keep my house immaculately clean, and am envied by all for my interior decorating, but do not show love in my family -- I am just another housewife.
If I'm always producing lovely things - sewing, art; if I always look attractive, and speak intelligently, but am ![not loving to my family -- I am nothing.
If I'm busy in community affairs, teach Sunday School, and drive in the carpool, but fail to give adequate love to my family -- I gain nothing.
Love changes diapers, cleans up messes, and ties shoes - over and over again.
Love is kind, though tired and frazzled.
Love doesn't envy another woman -- one whose children are](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)
