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

The other day Luther, our five year old, was standing in the kitchen under our hanging fruit basket of death. I say "fruit basket of death" because the chain supporting the basket has a past track record of snapping and dropping oranges, apples and bananas in a rain of destruction below.

My wife, looking nervously at the situation, said, "Luther, I don't know if you should be standing there."

He smirked up at her and replied with a grin, "It's the Sword of Damocles!"

Somehow I worry more about the sword than the oranges... ;-D
