Catch Me if You Dare by Simon

[Verse 1]
I'm jumping high in the sky Swinging so hard Hear the wind fly As the words I sing Working as hard as steel Throwing a football as far as the end of the universe I am fast like lightening Playing music as hard as rock 

[Pre-Chorus] 

I am in the good old days Kick kick kicking A football high high higher In the sky 

[Chorus] 

Come and catch it if you dare Come and catch me if you dare Come and catch me if you dare I’m already gone 

[Verse 2] 

I land, then I rise again Dust on my shoes, fire in my grin Hands out wide, I make my run A wild kid chasing the sun Working as hard as steel Never slowing, never still I am fast like lightening And I’m harder than rock 

[Pre-Chorus] 

I am in the good old days Kick kick kicking A football high high higher In the sky 

[Chorus] 

Come and catch it if you dare Come and catch me if you dare Come and catch me if you dare I’m already gone

 [Bridge] 

Hold your breath Count to ten I’m out of reach again One more step You’ll miss me by A mile of open sky [

Final Chorus] 

Come and catch it if you dare Come and catch me if you dare Come and catch me if you dare I’m already gone

Mine Mine Pie by Maggie

 

I'm going to eat pie

Oh, hi, I am going to eat pie

I feel like I'm going to fly

Pie, oh pie

A delicious pie

Oh! Oh! Wish I can have a pie

One day someone said

Who would like some pie

I said, yes, oh yes, yes, 

yesssssss

Oh I love pie

Give me pie

Oh, sorry I don't have any

I was just asking

I'm going to blue berry pie

because, well

I believe I can fly

I am a fly

No you're not

So I'm just going to go home

So I can have pie

Wait, I want some

Can I come?

No it's mine, mine, mine

Can I have a peace of pie?

The next day I saw the pie

Well, then it was gone

I'll faint for pie because it was so big

I would buy one but I spent all my money

on the other pie

wait 

I was just trick talking

but, I like pie

[Verse 1] I'm going to eat pie Oh, hi, I am going to eat pie I feel like I'm going to fly Pie, oh pie A delicious pie Oh! Oh! Wish I can have a pie 

[Pre-Chorus] One day someone said Who would like some pie I said, yes, oh yes, yes, yesssssss Oh I love pie 

[Chorus] Give me pie Give me pie A delicious pie Give me pie (Oh! Oh!) Give me pie Can I have a peace of pie? 

[Verse 2] I'm going to blue berry pie because, well I believe I can fly I am a fly No you're not So I'm just going to go home So I can have pie Wait, I want some Can I come?

 [Chorus] Give me pie Give me pie A delicious pie Give me pie (Oh! Oh!) Give me pie Can I have a peace of pie?

Dignity of Soul- Down Syndrome

Inherent worth

Dignity of soul

Down syndrome birth

Happy in their role

Sent to bless others

So loving and kind

Their life joy offers

Innocence to find

Their hugs freely given

Are their super power

Surely Heaven's

Love from them showers

The radiant smile

The twinkling eyes

The voice of a child

Purely without guile

Give them a task

And full heartedly

They'll do as you ask

For their part...to be

Give them a badge

They will wear it with pride

Watch them grow up

Still showing life's innocent side

This was inspired by a beautiful post on x.com and all the comments to the post.

Like father, Like Son

A chip off the old block

Like father, like son

How they talk, how they walk

How they are determined to get things done

And you would never know

The son is adopted

But a carbon copy

As love interacted

Father goes on an errand

Well, his son, too wants to

People know who to call when

They need a hand or two

[Verse 1] A chip off the old block Like father, like son How they talk, how they walk How they are determined to get things done And you would never know The son is adopted But a carbon copy As love interacted [Chorus] A chip off the old block A chip off the old block Like father, like son They get things done A chip off the old block A chip off the old block They know who to call When a hand is needed [Verse 2] Father goes on an errand Well, his son, too wants to People know who to call when They need a hand or two From the porch to the driveway From the store to the door Same steady kindness Come through once more [Chorus] A chip off the old block A chip off the old block Like father, like son They get things done A chip off the old block A chip off the old block They know who to call When a hand is needed [Bridge] Not by blood alone But by every little deed Same open heart Same family seed [Final Chorus] A chip off the old block A chip off the old block Like father, like son They get things done A chip off the old block A chip off the old block They know who to call When a hand is needed

Here is the Man- Ecce Homo -Qui est Faba

 Paraded before the accusers

Though found innocent, this their demand

To humiliate and make Him suffer

To feel self-righteous and in command

And here Jesus stood

His eyes upon them all

No one understand

This moment was His call

without protest
or defiance

His eyes spoke

in the silence

the surrender of love

of purpose from above

a crown of thorns

blood streaked His face

scourged,  with skin torn

weakness? not a trace

the surrender of love

of purpose from above

without protest
or defiance

His eyes spoke

in the silence

the surrender of love

of purpose from above

John 19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face.

4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.” 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, 

“Here is the man!”

6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”

7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”

8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”

11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”

13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon.

“Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.

15 But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”

“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.

“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.

16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.

Bury Your Weapons

"One of my favorite trainings we did in Florida was having all our missionaries write a distraction they were willing to give up to become who the Lord needed them to be. It’s a good story for us to reflect too. What are you willing to give up for the Lord? Will you bury it so it has no chance of coming up again? Alma 24:17-18 “They took their swords, and all the weapons which were used for the shedding of man’s blood, and they did bury them up deep in the earth. 18 And this they did, it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men, that they never would use weapons again for the shedding of man’s blood.”

What are you willing to give to Jesus?

To be the best you can be?

What is one thing that stand in your way?

To be His emissary

What is daily moving your focus?

Redirect and remove it, today!

What weapon? Make ready to bury

That it not resurface some day

Like the Lamanites who converted

Vowed from that day toward to never shed blood

And never picked up weapons again

To their end of their lives, being so filled with love

Where are those weapons in the ground?

Stained with the blood of the Saints

Buried so deep, they've  never been found

Swallowed up in the earth, by their faith

They prostrated, willing to lay down their lives

Rather than pick up those weapons again

When their tribe challenged this vow right away

After killing a thousand, stopped then, to befriend

The God who had so changed their fellow men!

How this is a blessing for you

After burying your weapons

Others see the change and want it too

Let them know where the strength comes

And walk them to Christ's path to see it through

[Verse 1] What are you willing to give

To Jesus today? What is one thing in your way When you want to obey? What is daily moving your focus? Pull it out by the root Redirect it, remove it And walk in the truth [Pre-Chorus] What weapon? Make ready to bury Don’t let it rise Don’t let it carry [Chorus] Bury your weapons Bury them deep Bury your weapons In mercy and peace Bury your weapons Let heaven see You were made for love And set free [Verse 2] Like the Lamanites who converted They vowed from that day Never shed blood again Never turn back to the blade To the end of their lives They were full of love They laid it down in the ground And trusted God above [Pre-Chorus] What weapon? Make ready to bury Don’t let it rise Don’t let it carry [Chorus] Bury your weapons Bury them deep Bury your weapons In mercy and peace Bury your weapons Let heaven see You were made for love And set free [Bridge] Where are those weapons now? Stained with the saints Buried so deep They were swallowed in faith They prostrated down Willing to die Rather than pick them up One more time [Chorus] Bury your weapons Bury them deep Bury your weapons In mercy and peace Bury your weapons Let heaven see You were made for love And set free [Outro] After burying your weapons Others see the change Let them know where the strength comes And walk His path today
