This coffee ain’t for newborns, son. It’ll either kill you or make a man of you. Help yourself.”
–Reg Quist (Mac’s Way)
Come on in, Pard, we’ll celebrate the end of the month together with a cup of hot brew. I think this is so hot it’ll burn the hair right of’n yur tongue, so be careful, sip it lightly.
Ahhh, hearty enough for yuh this mornin’?
I guess they’re goin’ to do it–forgive some of the Snowflakes and Twinkies school loan debt. Now, that just ain’t right on several accounts. For one thing who is goin’ to pay for it? Someone has to, and I reckon those politickin’s are goin’ to raise taxes to do it. Not right for the common, every day worker to pay for the college education of someone who is a bum. Yuh take out a loan, yuh pay it back, that’s just right. Another reason an’ maybe the most important is that they’re bein’ taught to be a bum. No obligations, no responsiblity, no accountability. They’ll think life is just a tip-toe through the tulips. No wonder they panic, fear and fret.
The coffee’s good this mornin’, or maybe the ol’ gizzard just enjoys it. Say, I’ve been ponderin’, yeah, I know it’s dangerous for an ol’ fence post like me to ponder too much. It’s enough to ponder which leg to put in my britches in the mornin’. But I’m gonna let it fly. I’m certainly not a globalist or universalist (how ’bout those big words?), but I do know for a fact that all roads and paths lead to God. Whether Muslim, Buddhist, Christian or whatever other thing a person will believe it’ll eventually get them to God. Now, pause and think on that whilst I pour another cup.
The Christian will stand before God, in devote humbleness, and praise Him for His mercy and grace. All those other folk are gonna stand before Him too, but they will only see Him as a fearful Judge who had offered His Son and they refused to accept Him. All will stand before God. A person will stand before God washed in the blood of Jesus Christ or they’ll be shown the folly of their ways and sent to the Lake of Fire. So, all roads do lead to God.
See, I wasn’t foolin’ yuh. Sure hope yuh enjoyed the coffee, I’ll try an’ remember to wash it out ‘fore next week. Sure don’t want any of yur slurps left in it in case someone else comes by before Saturday. Yuh be havin’ a good week as we move into May and no matter what road yur travelin’ this week, check that cinch before yuh mount.
Vaya con Dios.
