These are the good ol days
by Mary Ellen Smithtoday
my family is fine.
no one is ill.
the wolf has not chewed down the door.
the sky is blue and the grass is green.
there is food to put on the table.
yes, danger is everywhere on the t.v.
the rumblings of unrest grow louder
but right now
today
these are the good ol days
and I know that God is in control. 08/16/2006 Posted on 08/16/2006
