Snippet
In spite of the cocaine, in spite of it all, God gave me a
woman to cushion the fall. You’re like Paul of the Bible: spreading good news.
A man on a journey born with the blues.
Born with the Blues, trouble in mind; smoking and drinking,
by the time I was 9. In debt from the start, still paying my dues; crazy and
lonely, and born with the blues.
Crazy and lonely and born with the blues George Jones / Merle Haggard Born With the
Blues
Scripture
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of
witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set
before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right
hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from
sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3
Song
Who’s Going to Fill
Their Shoes by George Jones
You know this old world is full of singers
But just a few are chosen
To tear your heart out when they sing
Imagine life without them
All your, radio hero's
Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream
No, there will never be another
Red-headed stranger
A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues
The Okie from Muskogee
Or Hello Darling
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna stand that tall
Who's gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
God bless the boys from Memphis
Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis
Much too soon he left this world in tears
They tore up the Fifties
Old Jerry Lee and Charlie
And old Go Cat Go still echoes through the years
You know the heart of country music
Still beats in Luke the Drifter
You can tell when hew sings I Saw the Light
Old Marty, Hank and Lefty
Why I can feel them right here with me
On this Silver Eagle rolling through the night
Who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna stand that tall
Who's gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
Yes I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes?
Sentence Prayer
God of work and rest and pleasure,
Grant that what we do this week may be for us an offering
Rather than burden;
And for those we serve, may it be the help they need.
Amen. (A New Zealand
Prayer Book Pg 111)
