When God Calls You, Will You Step Out?

I was eatin’ at the Frog Holler Café for lunch last week.  A man came in ‘n ordered a plate to go.  After the waitress, Mary Alice, gave him his meal, she told him how much it cost.  The man said, “I don’t have enough money. Can I come back ‘n pay you later?” She let him take it.

Not Just Any Ole Tree

 

 

Growin’ up I remember this big oak tree in our back yard.  My sister 'n I loved to play under it in the summer, cause it gave a lot a shade.  When a storm came up, we’d run to the house ‘n watch the old tree from the window.  The wind would shake the limbs ‘n blow the leaves. We were afraid that the wind would blow the tree over.

Cousin Horace was born ‘n raised in the big city of Chicago.  We were two years apart in our age.  Growin’ up, he ‘n his Mamma would come ‘n visit us for a couple of weeks in the summer.  Cousin Horace was kind of snooty ‘cause he was from a big city.  We loved to give him a hard time when he came to visit us in Frog Holler ‘n called him, City Slicker.

Daddy was a patriotic man. He loved God, his family, his country, ‘n his flag. He proudly displayed his fag on a flag pole in his front yard.  He loved to watch it wave bravely in the breeze.

Ridin' The Waves

 

Every time I'm at the beach, I remember, when I was little, Daddy would take me 'n my sister out in the ocean to ride the waves. He held me in one arm 'n my sister in the other. As long as Daddy was holdin’ me, I felt safe.
