Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews? Servetus? Holy cow!”) I do not disavow.   Stonewall and Lee like knights of old Fought for their native soil, The true and lovely to uphold Against the tyrant’s spoil.   (“Those vile racists broke their vow!”) I do not disavow.   Men

Cute Kid-isms

Last week, we put a new element in our hot water heater. Luther (3) however was very confused about the whole thing. The day before, we had this conversation:

Me (to Mary Beth): I'll have to go get an element to put in the water heater.
Luther: That doesn't go there.
Me: What do you mean Luther?
Luther: That doesn't go there.
Mary Beth: What doesn't go where?
Luther: An elephant doesn't go in the water heater!

Here is another cute, if somewhat morbid, discussion that I overheard. I was doing some reading for school, and this happened at the kitchen table.

Luther (seeing a picture of a turkey): Are we having turkey for Thanksgiving?
Mary Beth: Yes, but the turkey for Thanksgiving is going to be dead not alive.
Luther: You're not going to die, Mommy.
Mary Beth: No, no, Luther. Mommy's not going to die; the turkey is!
Anthea (cheerfully): Daddy die?
Mary Beth: No, daddy's not going to die.
Luther: Is Thea going to die?
Mary Beth: No, Thea's not going to die!
Anthea (still quite chipper): Luther die?!
Mary Beth: Look, nobody is going to die! Except the turkey, which is already dead!
