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

Great. Now I've Done It.

And now you have Zalgo taking over your blog posts? I haven't even said anything about him yet! ;-)

I think Slender Man has a similar effect on electronic text. Last night was crazy. Grading papers with my webcam on and suddenly to see that behind me. There's something to be said for recording yourself at all times. :)

Thankfully he just stood there for a minute and then left. I̡ ̶ţhin̵k he ̀ḿu͠st̵ ͟not͜ be̡ ̸in̢t̨e͞rȩsted iņ me̶
