The Old Paths
by Norm Beznoska Jr., Contributing Author : The PATH we choose affects our lives. Choose wisely your eternity depends on it.
For those that recall the following, another 10 years, and none of this will be around anymore.
I wish the old paths were before us instead of behind us...
~ THE OLD PATHS ~
I liked the old paths, when:
Moms were at home.
Dads were at work.
Brothers went into the army.
And sisters got married BEFORE having children!
Crime did not pay;
Hard work did;
And people knew the difference.
Moms could cook;
Dads would work;
Children would behave.
Husbands were loving;
Wives were supportive;
And children were polite.
Women wore the jewelry;
And Men wore the pants.
Women looked like ladies;
Men looked like gentlemen;
And children looked decent.
People loved the truth,
And hated a lie.
They came to church to get IN,
Not to get OUT!
Hymns sounded Godly;
Sermons sounded helpful;
Rejoicing sounded normal;
And crying sounded sincere.
Cursing was wicked;
Drugs were for illness.
The flag was honored;
America was beautiful;
And God was welcome!
We read the Bible in public;
Prayed in school;
And preached from house to house.
To be called an American was worth dying for;
To be called an American was worth living for;
To be called a traitor was a shame!
I still like the old paths the best!

The old path is the true path hand in hand with God and country. America Bless God Again.
Jeff, Indeed, the old (eternal) path is the true path.
