Coffee Percs

There’s always been a light shining out of the window from dark till dawn. After regular hours any passing rider might enter and help himself of the coffee pot warming on the kitchen stove.”

Mornin’ to yuh, Pard.  Still got yur galoshes on I see.  Mercy, is this rain ever gonna let up!  Now, Pard, I didn’t stay stop, but let it rain a little here, an’ a little there, especially come August.  But then again, Pard, we don’t want none of them herrycanes that bring wind and rain.  
     Go ‘head, take off yur slicker an’ I’ll pour yuh some coffee.  Pure delight!  That’s yur joinin’ me this mornin’, an’ when yuh taste this brew yu’ll think the same.  Ahhh, good, hot, and black.  Don’t go mixin’ it none like them shysters who did that with the law.  That trial up there in New York was a sham.  Talk about twistin’ an’ twirlin’ the law and makin’ it for their own good.  Pard, there’s comin’ a day, not just for them, but for all of us.  “There’s a great day comin!…”  Sorry Pard, I didn’t mean for my singin’ to cause yuh to spurt out yur coffee.
     Pard, I was glancin’ at some things in the Good Book.  ‘Course those in that court don’t care much for it, but one day they’ll be wishin’ they had.  Go ahead, I’m not gonna sing, slurp down yur coffee.  But as I was sayin’, I was readin’ those Prophets, Micah and others, and my mercy, one of the reasons judgment was comin’ was the perversion of justice.  Why to do justly is one of the simple requirements the Lord done give us, not to use it for our own whims and agendas.  An’ that ol’ wise man, Solomon tolt us that it’s a joy to do justice, but those who do iniquity just better be watchin’ out.  See this issue ain’t about President Trump; it’s about the law, justice, an’ the American way.  The perversion of justice, well, it just paves the way for that “man of lawlessness” that is gonna bring havoc to this ol’ earth.
     But on the brighter side, we’ll enjoy our coffee this mornin’ and we’re a-knowin’ that behind it all the Lord is in control.  All the shenanigans by the judges and those behind the scenes ain’t got a fix on Him.  So we just keep right on goin’ our way, doin’ justly, lovin’ mercy, an’ walkin’ humbly with the Lord.  That’s all we can do, cayn’t do nothin’ else.  Trustin’ in the Lord is what we’ve got to be doin’ each and every minute of the day.  That goes for you too, when yuh go to mount, yuh do yur part by checkin’ yur cinch, then the Lord will help yuh stay in the saddle.
     Yeehaw, yuh be havin’ yurself a bustin’ good week!  Hang in there, an’ if’n yuh need to, hunker down durin’ the storm.
      Vaya con Dios.
