PRAISING GOD FOR AMERICA
Jerry Howarth Jul 2019
Independence Day > May God Bless America
Dear Friends;
In Philadelphia on July 4, 1775, representatives from 13 British colonies in North America adopted a statement setting forth the reasons for declaring their independence from Great Britain. The draft of the document was largely the work of Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration of Independence proclaims the God gives every person a birthright of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiiness. The original document is stored in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.

MURDERING BABIES
Jerry Howarth Jun 2019
M U R D E R I N G  B A B Y
Within my Mother’s womb I grow,
Not knowing what life will bestow
A genetic code all my own,
God used to make me flesh and bone.

A little man I am I know,
Yet give me time and I will grow,
Just think of what the world would be,
Without a joyful world like me.

I need love and protection too,
And my protector needs to be you.
If you turn a deaf ear to me,
What I most fear may come to be.

Why does not someone take a stand?
And save me from my killers hand.
I’m murdered by the surgeon’s knife,
As though I have no right to life.

My body is torn limb from limb,
Yielding to Mother’s whim.
My screams are muffled as I die,
Dr. and Mommy ignore my painful cry.

Aborted (no, murdered) by my Mother’s plan,
I’m cast into a garbage can.
“AVENGE MY BLOOD, OH GOD” I pray!
Repay my foes on judgment day.

And God will.  The voice of “Babies” blood
cries unto me from the ground” Gen.4:10

NONE OF YOUR BIZWAX
Jerry Howarth May 2019
I was walking along the road one day,
carrying a sack on my shoulder.
I met a  man whom to me was stranger,
He ask me what was in  my sack,
and I said to him, "NONE OF YOUR BIZWAX!"

As I contine on my journey, I sat down to rest.
The sack had gotten heavy on my shoulder.
A nosey lady  whom to me was stranger
Ask to see what was in my sack,
and I said, "IT'S NONE OF YOUR BIZWAX!"

I ask volunteers to name the title to my song,
Some one said, "A MAN WITH A SACK?"
Another one suggested, "A NOSEY STRANGER?"
A little ***** said"THAT'S EASY! NONE OF YOUR BIZWAX!
THE STORY BEHIND THIS POEM
I was in a rest home, and ask a lady patience, who had a slight mental
disability, why she was so sad looking, and she said : "NONE OF YOUR BIZWAX! "  I ask her another question (which I do not recall) and again she an answered me with "N ONE OF YOUR BIZWAX!"

So on the spur of the moment, I made up this song-poem.

Preaching On Facebook Live
Jerry Howarth May 2019
I love to preach the Gospel of Jesus of Jesus Christ.
Pastored in five different churches over a period of 40 years.
These were small country churches averaging 10/20 adults
So I had to work at employment while Pastloring

But one day my health interupted my ministry
so I was forced to resign Pastoring, but not preaching
I  was yet able to preach from time to time, here and there
filling in for Pastors on vacation, sick and short interims.
  
Ond day someone suggested  go on Face Book Live,
Which I have been doing for about a couple of months.
So all you my poet friends, I invite you to go to Face Book
and type my name, Jerry, and hear me preach.
                          THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
                             Jerry Howarth
