Food and Frugality lyrics

Young people these days sure do complainBack in my day, ages and ages agoWe not only had to walk 8 miles to schoolThrough hip-deep blowing snowUphill both ways, out and back againWe had to fight saber-tooth cats while doing so

If you’re having cash flow problemsHey, it’s simple you knowInstead of Volvo and StarbucksTry Ford and Folgers to go

What the heck are you eating?Sugar cookies sprinkled with pixie dust?Unicorn cutlets, champagne, and caviar?Avocado toast without the crust?

Young complainers and whinersTake the delivery apps off your phoneGo to the grocery storeMake sandwiches on your own

Cook your own dinnersIf you can’t cook, learn howStop whining, stop crying, get doingYou’re not special, no how!

If you’re having cash flow problemsHey, it’s simple you knowInstead of Volvo and StarbucksTry Ford and Folgers to go

Choices lyrics

Through his learning,Charlie recognized his dutyTo pursue truthAnd to defend libertyThis responsibility —He felt to GodHe felt it to our familyHe felt it to our countryThat was born from what he learned

Life is not definedBy the abundance of optionsBut by the weight of the choicesThat you make within them,And those choices more often than notAre not dramatic or obviousBut quiet and compoundingForming the blueprint of your lifeLong before anyone else can seeWhat you are building

Each of us must order his own houseLive rightly in aimFor high and beautiful thingsContinue forward in lifeWith clarity and intentionAnd you will come to understand

That life is not definedBy the abundance of optionsBut by the weight of the choicesThat you make within themThose choices, more often than not,Are not dramatic or obviousBut quiet and compoundingForming the blueprint of your lifeLong before anyone else can seeWhat you are building

It is so humblingThe contrast betweenHuman limitationAnd God’s infinity

That’s why our choices,Even the smallest ones,MatterThey matter so much

That’s why our choices,Even the smallest ones,MatterThey matter so much

The Mother’s Day Song lyrics

The incredible chaos of a mother’s heartThe capacity of a mother to loveA mother who can’t wait to discover lifeBeside her children, boys and girlsA mother’s love never goes awayNo matter how much she ages

Celebrate what matters in lifeLove, marriage, and family above allA mother is the ultimate optimistShe believes the future is worth investing inShe believes in raising her kids to inherit it

One day,the last crayon drawing is taken off the fridgeThe last lunchbox gets packedAnd the last little voice calls, “Mommy”Time moves fast, but love doesn’tThat’s why I’m giving her somethingThat holds every reason she’s loved,In my own wordsMoms deserve the worldWhy not give your mom your world today?

One day, it will be the last hugThe last goodbyeThe last see you laterThe last dinnerThe last movieThe last time you get to tell your momYou love herMake sure she knows nowTell her today

We love our mothers!Happy Mother’s Day!

We love our mothers!Happy Mother’s Day!

Mother’s Day Ballad - lyrics

Men are womenWomen are menMothers are optionalFathers are interchangeableBiology is negotiableFamily structure is oppressiveCommitment is confining

Children are both impossibly fragileAnd fully capable of decidingLife-altering truthsBefore they can drive a carAnd then, after all of that,We stare at the wreckage

Loneliness through the roofAnxiety everywhereBirthrates collapsingChildren confusedFamilies unstable

Children need stabilityFamilies matterNurture shapes identityLove and discipline are not enemies

Healthy societies are always builtOn the same basic foundationStrong familiesCommitted parentsMothers and fathersEmbracing responsibilityChildren raised with truth,Consistency and love

Real influence is repetitiveQuietUnseenIt’s packing lunchesCorrecting behaviorListening when exhaustedHolding a frightened childTeaching consistencySaying “no” whenIt would be easier to say “yes”

The things that matter most:FaithFamilyLoveSacrificePresenceA mother kneeling beside a child’s bedAt night praying over themMay not trend on social mediaI suspect Heaven sees it differently

We love our mothersHappy mother’s day to all

We love our mothersHappy mother’s day to all

We love our dogsBut never snakesBut maybe hogsAnd maybe frogs

Faith and Freedom Lyrics

In trying to silence one voice,they created thousands and thousandsIn trying to end a conversation,they started millions of talksAnd that is the thingWe learned about faith and freedomYou can’t kill themYou can try to suppress themYou can try to silence themBut faith and freedom always find a wayLike water finding cracks in a dam

Ready lyrics

Let’s make it clear: They weren’t just against meThey are against the U.S.The United States and us

I’m not a billionaireI’m not richI’m a combat veteranAnd a dad with 5 kids

I want to make a differenceThere will be no quarterIt is no longer about winningIt is about freedom, our freedom

Everyone is tired of endless warEveryone is tired of being poorEveryone is tired of corruptionEveryone wants more prosecution

This is a land our forefathers imaginedA land our great-grandparents builtA land lost sadly by our parentsA Republic left for us to restore

Remember, it was your choiceI’m ready to die for itI know where I’m goingAre you ready to die for it?

Remember, it was your choiceI’m ready to die for itI know where I’m goingAre you ready to die for it?

It’s Not That Easy

In a dictatorship everything is gone.The First and Second Amendments are gone.No free speech, ever again.No freedom of conscience.No right to bear arms.All the Bill of Rights is gone.The Constitution is suspended.Elections are cancelled orAre one-party, one-choice sham elections.That’s what a dictatorial regime looks like.

We’ve seen this happen, time and again,in Lenin and Stalin’s Soviet Union,in Mao’s China, in Pol Pot’s Cambodia,in Castro’s Cuba, and in North Korea.It’s the left that does these things.It’s the left that always calls for more government.It’s always the left that wants to throttle dissent.It’s always the left that wants to disarm us,To intimidate us, to control us,And to sweep us aside if we oppose them.They can’t.In the United States, it’s just not that easy.

In the United States, it’s just not that easy.

Chuck Norris Funnies lyrics

Chuck Norris was a man for all seasonsAnd for all reasonsHis name and style are legendAnd he saw his fans as friends

Chuck Norris can dribble a bowling ballThe dark is afraid of Chuck NorrisIf you spell Chuck Norris in Scrabble, you win.Forever.

The dinosaurs looked at Chuck NorrisThe wrong way just onceYou know what happened to themChuck Norris is the reason Waldo is hiding

We live in an expanding universeAll trying to get away from Chuck NorrisChuck Norris can speak BrailleAnd can tie his shoes with his feet

Chuck Norris used to beat up his shadowBecause it was following too closeIt now stands 15 feet behind himAlways andforever

Chuck Norris once kicked a coal mineAnd turned it into a diamond mineChuck Norris doesn’t wear a watchHe decides what time it is

Chuck Norris once went skydivingBut promised never to do it againOne Grand Canyon is enough.Chuck Norris stands faster than anyone can run

Chuck Norris’ belly buttonIs actually a power outletChuck Norris destroyed the periodic tableBecause he only recognizes the element of surprise

Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomesChuck Norris has 72 genesAnd they’re all lethalChuck Norris can divide by zero

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep at nightHe checks his closet for Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris was once bitten by a cobraAfter 5 days of agonizing pain, the cobra diedChuck Norris has a mug of nailsInstead of coffee in the morning

Chuck Norris doesn’t read booksHe stares them downUntil he gets what he wantsChuck Norris can build a snowman out of rain

Chuck Norris counted to infinity… twiceIn the Beginning there was nothingThen Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked nothingAnd told it to get a job

Chuck Norris was a man for all seasonsAnd for all reasonsHis name and style are legendAnd he saw his fans as friends

Peace Lyrics

The dust settles full on the valley floorA silent promise branded on a heavy doorWe gather the seeds of a quiet dreamWalking the banks of a frozen streamBut the ground is stubborn and the winter is longIt takes more than a melody to make a song

You can’t just wait for the sky to clearWhile the thunder is drawing nearIt’s a mountain to climb not a gift to receiveHarder than any ghost you believePeace is a harvest from a stony fieldA labor of iron that refuses to yield

I’ve seen sore hands folded tight in the darkSearching for fire without any sparkThe shadows are long and the road is wideWith nowhere left for a coward to hideHope is a window but the glass is stainedNothing is won where nothing is gained

You can’t just wait for the sky to clearWhile the thunder is drawing nearIt’s a mountain to climb not a gift to receiveHarder than any ghost you believePeace is a harvest from a stony fieldA labor of iron that refuses to yield

The altar is empty and the pews are bareThere is no magic in the cold hard airIf you want the calm after the galeYou have to drive the hammer and strike the nail

You can’t just wait for the sky to clearWhile the thunder is drawing nearIt’s a mountain to climb not a gift to receiveHarder than any ghost you believePeace is a harvest from a stony fieldA labor of iron that refuses to yield

It isn’t handed down from a golden throneIt’s built from the heart beat and built from the boneSo stand in the wind and face the rainTrue stillness is born from the center of painForging the silver from the common leadBy the sweat of the living and the debt of the dead

Nattering Nabobs Lyrics

The prophets of the bitter tongue are gathering in the hallPolishing their grievances against the rising wallThey measure out the heavy hours with calculations coldTurning every silver spark into leaden moldI see them on the corners with their pedigrees of doubtTrying to extinguish what the spirit is aboutThey talk of ruined harvests before the seed is sownBuilding monuments of ash upon a shifting throne

Oh the nattering nabobs of negativityThey are weaving a shroud for the things they cannot beThey trade in the shadows and they bargain with the nightTrying to convince the sun to forfeit all its lightYes the nattering nabobs of negativityAre drowning in the waters of their own proclivity

There is no room for the dreamer or the man who bears the scarThey want to clip the gravity and tether every starWith a lexicon of failure and a syntax of despairThey poison every fountain and they thin the very airBut the wind does not acknowledge what the cynic has to sayAnd the morning finds a window despite the disarray

The banquet table groans beneath the weight of their disdainThey find a hidden poison in the falling of the rainWhile the simple man is planting, they are digging up the ghostOf a thousand little tragedies they value all the mostSo let them count the pebbles while the mountain starts to climbLet them prosecute the rhythm and the reason and the rhymeFor the song persists regardless of the jury in the shackAnd the forward motion never takes the invitation back

Oh the nattering nabobs of negativityThey are weaving a shroud for the things they cannot beThey trade in the shadows and they bargain with the nightTrying to convince the sun to forfeit all its lightYes the nattering nabobs of negativityAre drowning in the waters of their own proclivity

Oh the nattering nabobs of negativityThey are weaving a shroud for the things they cannot beThey trade in the shadows and they bargain with the nightTrying to convince the sun to forfeit all its lightYes the nattering nabobs of negativityAre drowning in the waters of their own proclivity

We Love Our Dogs Lyrics

If they force us to choose,They lose.The choice between dogsAnd trogs and hogs and frogsAnd almost any other thingIs not a big swing.It’s not a difficult choice at all.You don’t need a brawlTo settle the choice.We all speak with one voice.

We love dogs, all sorts of houndsAnd you can’t give us any groundsTo say goodbye to our muttsBecause, put simply, that’s just nuts!

We love our dogsOur canines and our cursWe love our pupsOur mongrels and our slursWe love our Buddies,Bucks, Fidos and MaxesFar more than any stupid taxes.We love our Bellas,Lucys, Lunas and DaisysAgain, far more than any crazies.

We love dogs, all sorts of houndsAnd you can’t give us any groundsTo say goodbye to our muttsBecause, put simply, that’s just nuts!

Dogs have always been man’s best friendsAnd that love, that heart, will never end.You can’t convince us to drive our dogs outOf that there really is no doubt.Give up, go away,Don’t make our day.We play with our dogs.We sleep with our dogs.We feed and care for our dogs.We really do love our dogs.

We love dogs, all sorts of houndsAnd you can’t give us any groundsTo say goodbye to our muttsBecause, put simply, that’s just nuts!

Love Song Lyrics

Love suffers long, and is kindLove envies notLove causes not a stirLove is not puffed upLove does not behave unseemlyLove seeks not its ownLove is not easily provokedLove thinks no evil

Love does not rejoice in iniquityLove rejoices in the truthLove bears all thingsLove believes all thingsLove hopes all thingsLove endures all thingsLove never fails

Where there are prophecies, they shall failWhere there are tongues, they shall ceaseWhere there is knowledge, it shall vanishFor we know in part, and we prophesy in partWhen the perfect comes, the part falls away

When I was a childI spoke as a childI understood as a childI thought as a childWhen I became a manI put away childish things

Now we see through a glass darklyBut then face to faceNow I know in partThen I will know as I am knownNow abides faith, hope, love — these threeBut the greatest of these is love

Love bears all thingsLove believes all thingsLove hopes all thingsLove endures all thingsThere are three: faith, hope, and loveThe greatest of these is love

O Captain! My Captain! Lyrics

O Captain! my Captain!Our fearful trip is done,The ship has weathered every rack,The prize we sought is won,The port is near,The bells I hear,The people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel,The vessel grim and daring;But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain!Rise up and hear the bells;Rise up. For you the flag is flungFor you the bugle trills,For you bouquets and ribboned wreathsFor you the shores a-crowding,For you they call, the swaying mass,Their eager faces turning;Here Captain! dear father!This arm beneath your head!It is some dream that on the deck,You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer,His lips are pale and still,My father does not feel my arm,He has no pulse nor will,The ship is anchored safe and sound,Its voyage closed and done,From fearful tripThe victor shipComes in with object won;Exult O shores, and ring O bells!But I with mournful tread,Walk the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.

But something can change that verdict. It’s actually very simple — and an easy action to take if Joe Biden wants an historic legacy.

All Joe Biden has to do is to resign the presidency on January 18th and open the path for Kamala Harris to become U.S. president for a few days.

What will Biden gain from this action?

Here are a few of the benefits for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party:

1. The Democrats get to brag about having the first woman president in U.S. history. Biden would get credit for making that happen. That would put both Harris and Biden into the history books for hundreds of years.

2. People might even forget the corruption, imbecility, and incompetence of the Biden-Harris administration.

3. Kamala Harris becomes the 47th president of the United States. Donald Trump would have to settle for being the 48th president. Trump might have to re-do his stationery and other paperwork.

4. Donald Trump would be forced to accept the transfer of government from Kamala Harris rather than Joe Biden.

5. Kamala, being the first woman president, would re-energize the moribund Democrat party. That energy could make a difference in 2026 and 2028.

Are we better off with this really aggressive movement to totally eliminate God with what we're doing? …

A lot of the challenges we see in the country are a consequence of a broken morality that we are experiencing and there are a lot of things that we need to do politically to move things in the right direction from a policy standpoint, but there's only things that God can do to fix these problems, and so we should pray. — Luke Holland, candidate for U.S. Senate, state of Oklahoma

Just to give you a bit of background, I am a shaman and a healer where I have been able to work with multiple Native American tribes.

This story is from chapter 15 of Seeking the Divine. It's called White Buffalo Calf Woman. That afternoon, I called Thunderhorse. He had just returned from a sweat lodge up in the mountains of northern Utah.

I told him about my recent vision of a woman of white light, and how she had gifted me with a buffalo horn. He was quiet for so long that I asked, “Hello, are you there?”

His reply was measured and calm. Still, I knew that this particular vision carried great significance for him.

“You have met White Buffalo Calf Woman. We call her Cuilcagh.” Thunderhorse then started telling me the significance of her presence to his people. The Lakota, Dakota and Sioux tribes also had strong ties with this particular figure. He asked me if she said anything?

“No,” I said, “But she gifted me with the horn and a part of me felt like something had changed in my brain, as if I was getting a whole new set of instructions.”

I then told him of my meditation, and Yogananda giving me his blessing. He was touched that my gurus statement was: Go help my Western brothers.

This was the beginning of a three month routine of conversations between us. I would meditate every morning upon waking as I had done for 16 years. Then I would receive visions; I would see, hear, or feel certain experiences. Then I would immediately call Thunderhorse to get feedback about what I was seeing, including what the symbols meant and how his tribe interpreted the shamanistic experiences I was having.

I was spending upwards of three or four hours a day in meditation or on phone calls with numerous shamans. There were times I would receive a complex mix of symbols or beings, and Thunderhorse would give me a phone number to a different person.

After three months of this, I had contacted over 15 different Native American nations, and had been in intimate touch with their shamans. Without planning it, I ended up learning from all of these shamans about travelling dreams, or what they call journeys.

Each day, one of them would guide me into the spirit world and show me how the mystics of old would stay in touch with one another, and what it meant to be a shapeshifter, Shadow Walker, and dream weaver.

Each one ended up telling me the legends and story of their tribes. As I described my visions and the stories and symbols that were being shown to me, each shaman would decipher the meanings of these symbols and share with me their most sacred teachings.

It didn't take long for me to realize that I had some outdated concepts in my head about the world of Native Americans. The more I learned from them, worked with them and adopted by them, the more I saw the heterogeneity of their belief structures, symbols and intertribal prejudices.

I'd always heard the terms Indians and Native Americans and First Nations as referring to a unified population. This was quite wrong. As with the Japanese, the Bahamians, and the Spanish that I had been raised around, the Native Americans had a diverse population and structure.

During my discussions and intertribal work, I would soon learn that the sacred animal to one tribe could be a bad omen for another. One bird would be worshipped as a divine messenger by a southern tribe from the Yucatan, and was seen as a flying pest by a Canadian tribe. I learned quickly to adjust and keep a very open mind toward the bliss of different tribes that I was being called upon to serve.

Even the legends and stories of White Buffalo Calf Woman were mixed and varied. I soon learned that she was considered the origin of the peace pipe to some tribes, whereas to others, she was the destroyer of egos. One legend had her vaporizing a young warrior to dusk because she wanted to. He wanted to take her as a wife, while his friend looked on. Their friend immediately bowed to the power of White Buffalo Calf Woman, and she honored him with gifts of wisdom and long life.

I gathered story after story after story. It soon became clear that the many experiences and teachings were building a foundation for what I had no idea. White Buffalo Calf Woman had come to me to herald a new phase of learning, and to bring an old concept into the modern realm. She was teaching me the legends she had been known by and was using my scientific training to show how quantum mechanics related to shamanistic travel and healing. She was ready for me to bring an ancient knowledge into the modern world in a way that would provide comfort and peace to individuals that were drawn to the forms of shamanism, though not to the highly structured approach of specific religions.

But I digress. It is now time for me to meet the tribe. This is Janine Boland saying thank you for listening to my story. And I wish you much success in life.
