Song 

KAW-LIGA By  Hank Williams

http://youtu.be/i_c1A8tmHuI

KAW-LIGA, was a wooden Indian standing by the door

He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store

KAW-LIGA - A, just stood there and never let it show

So she could never answer "YES" or "NO".

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk

The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk

KAW-LIGA - A, too stubborn to ever show a sign

Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

[Chorus:]

Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he never got a kiss

Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he don't know what he missed

Is it any wonder that his face is red

KAW-LIGA, that poor ol' wooden head.

KAW-LIGA, was a lonely Indian never went nowhere

His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair

KAW-LIGA - A, just stood there and never let it show

So she could never answer "YES" or "NO".

LIFE'S HIGHWAY

Snippet

“Life is choice. All day, everyday. Who we talk to, where we sit, 

what we say, how we say it. And our lives become defined by our 

choices. It's as simple and as complex as that. And as powerful. 

so when I'm observing that's what I'm watching for. The choices 

people make”  Louise Penny, Still Life

Scripture

“Tell the people, ‘The Lord says, “I am offering you a choice. 

You can choose the way that leads to life. Or you can choose 

the way that leads to death. Jeremiah 21:8

Life’s Highway Steve Wariner

Sun is up time's at hand

There's a stir across the land

And so begins another day

On life's highway

On city streets down country roads

Like a stream the people flow

There's bread to win and tolls to pay

On life's highway

There is hope with every turn

A bridge to build, a bridge to burn

Here's hoping you never go astray

On life's highway

We are young then we're old

Passing through then passing on

Like the roses bloom and fade

On life's highway

Step by step, round and round

Never knowing where we're bound

From the cradle to the grave

On life's highway

There is hope with every turn

A bridge to build, a bridge to burn

Here's hoping you never go astray

On life's highway

Sun is up time's at hand

There's a stir across the land

And so begins another day

On life's highway

Sentence Prayer

God, guide me toward Your great purpose in my life. Use me to 

serve the needs of other people in Your body and Your creation.  

Let me not covet the success of other people because it causes me 

to want their gifts.  When I see the achievement of other people, I 

begin to question my own status in the world.  Lead me to a 

deeper, more meaningful understanding of your plan, Lord.

When I am tempted to pursue at any cost a journey that is not 

meant to be mine, may I encounter.  The truth of Your word, the 

wisdom of Your truth, and the wonder of my own life.  I want to 

experience Your will, Lord, not the trappings of another person’s 

path.  Amen (One Minutes Prayers for Men pg11)
