“Chicken Surprise”
Deer Cuzzin Val:
1 went by to see my pals Dip
stick an' Lugnut today Dip was
busy werkiiT on a battered dis
tributor from an oT Willys Jeep.
I axed hymn wharLug wuz an’
he sod he had'ta take a few days
off werk after pitch in’ over
backwards in Hillbilly Chins
Chinese Restaurant & Gun
Store last weekend an' ‘bout
breakm* his neck. Surprised to
heer of Lug’s bad fortune, I in
quired as to what had
happen’d, knowin' that Hillbilly
Chin didn’t have a likker li
cense fer his ‘stablishmint.
Dip sed they’d order'd the
'Chicken Surprise' from a
waiter that looked unbeliev
ably like Congressman Adam
SchifT'cepL without the dress.
The food arrived in a big heavy-
lidded cast iron pot. Just as
Dipstick wuz bout to remove
the lid an'serve himself, the lid
rose up slightly an' he saw two
beady little eyes peerin' out
afore he slammed the lid back
down. ‘Goodness gracious,
great balls of fire, what in the
heck s in that pot?!’ 1 screamed
Dip. Lug had been oglin’ a
pass in* waitress instead’a the
pot so he raised the lid to see
fer hissclf what was a’goin' on.
He saw the same two beady
eyes starin' out at him which
frightened him causin’ him to
fall backwards chair’n all an’
hit his head on a big of imita
tion Chinese vase made in
Mexico sittin inna comer ahind
his chair. Achin’ in pain, Lug
demanded a’tween groans to
know whut was in the pot,
scairt ta death hit wuz one'a
'em caronny infested bats from
Wuhan.
“Please dear honored sir, what
did you ol der? 1 ' inquired the un
perturbed waiter. Lug shouted,
“CHICKEN SURPRISE,
GOSH DANGHITf “Ahhh, so
very sorry," confesses the
waiter, “I mistakenly brought
you Peeking Duck!”
To make matters worse. Dip
stick sod when they opened
their fortune cookies, the little
slip of paper said, “Vote for
Bejing Biden.” That really
sucked, even w r orse’n the cheap
imitation Chinese food.

“If The Trend Continues...”
Dear Editor:
In last two articles, the focus
has been on the Pro-life view,
held by America's Founding
Fathers, witnessed by the U,S
Constitution they signed into
law, to secure the blessings of
liberty for themselves and their
posterity, which is in agree
ment with the Pro-life view of
their Creator. “If the people
would only choose life, they and
their posterity might live."
Deuteronomy 30:19
Then arose the opposition
party to the blessings of liberty
It began gaining momentum in
the nation known as One Na
tion Under God. Their work
began filling the news head
lines. “Socialist Mary Sanger
Founded Planned Parenthood"
in October 16, 1916 in
Brownsville, New York. “U.S.
Supreme Court Judges ruled in
favor of Atheist Madalyn
MurrayO’hair,’’ bykickingGod
of Life out of America’s class
rooms, 1963. “U.S. Supreme
Court Judges ruled against the
blessings of liberty for future
Americans,” by making abor
tion legal, 1973.
Consequence of the anti-life,
anti-God, anti-posterity move
ment in America: Nearly 70
million future Americans de
nied their Constitutional
rights, including nearly 19 mil
lion black lives, via abortion.
With that said, wondering
what portion of American citi
zens, creeds, colors, and gen
der supported the Pro-life Plat
form of Creator God and that
of America’s Founders, and
which ones opposed it. 1 looked
at the Pew Institute Report on
the outcome of the 2018 mid
term elections. Astoundingly.
that report revealed the major
ity of American voters voted in
opposition to the U.S. Consti
tution, regarding securing the
blessings of liberty.
I was astonished to learn that
the offspring of America’s
Founders only voted in favor of
the Pro-life Platform, their
forefathers guaranteed them,
by a small margin, 44% in op
position, 54% in favor.
In next article, I will share
with the reader the Pew Insti
tute Report, which reveals how
the majority of the other Ameri
ca n voters overwhelmingly
voted against the Pro-life U.S.
Constitution, which brings the
scripture referenced in last ar
ticle to mind. The foreigner
(mindset) living among you,
Will become the head, and the
offspring of the Founders of
One Nation Under God, the
tail.
The sad part, as the numbers
reveal, if the trend continues,
the majority of the Founding
Father’s posterity in future
elections will vote in favor of
the foreign mindset living
among them, choosing to be
come the tail, and allowing the
foreign mindset to become the
head.
Might this opposition to their
own blessings of liberty for
themselves and their posterity
reveal that Americans them
selves, not a foreign army, are
America's worst enemy, in that
they agree to kill off more of
their own than all of America's
foreign enemies have over been
able to do?

“A ‘RightNow’ God”
Dear Editor: that I attended. I enjoyed hear-
A number of years ago we had ing them sing as they really
a children's choir in the church sounded like they were making
Flint Area Consolidated
Housing Authority
“a joyful noise unto the LORD.”
However, one song that they
sang expressed a sentiment
that did not ring true to me. In
one section there was a refrain
that went “Look Up, See God,
Help is On The Way." Initially,
it sounded good, but as I
thought about it, I realized that
it did not agree with God’s
Word because Psalm 46:1 says,
“God is our refuge and
strength, a very PRESENT
HELP in trouble." It is very
comforting to know that God’s
Help is never ON THE WAY.
but is always PRESENT -
RIGHT NOW.
In the Book of Daniel, we read
about the situation concerning
the 3 Hebrew boys who refused
to bow to Nebuchadnezzar's
image even in the face of being
cast into a fiery f urnace if they
did not comply with the King’s
command to bow down and
worship his image. Well, they
were cast into the fiery furnace.
But the fires of the furnace did
not harm them because when
they got there, Christ was al
ready waiting for them. He
was their PRESENT help.
Another instance, in the same
Book of Daniel, involved Daniel
himself when evil men con
spired to have him thrown into
a den of lions. Those familiar
with the story know that he
was cast into the lion’s den.
However, the lions did not
harm him because God's angel
hud gotten there FIRST and
“shut the lions' mouths."
There is one story in the Bible
that might make it seem as if
God may not have been a
PRESENT HELP. In John
chapter eleven we read about
Mary, Martha, and their
brother Lazarus. On one occa
sion Lazarus became very ill.
At this point Mary and Martha
sent to tell Christ that Lazarus
was very sick, hoping He would
come right away. But Christ
did not come right away, and
in the interim Lazarus died.
Upon arriving at the place
where they were, Christ was
informed that Lazarus had
been dead four days and bis
body had begun to decay. This
is significant because Christ
used this occasion to really glo
rify His Father. lie asked
where Lazarus was buried and
went to that place. Upon ar
riving He asked them to roll
away the stone from Lazarus’
tomb. After saying a short
prayer to His Father, He said,
“Lazarus, come forth" and im
mediately Lazarus came forth
from the grave though he had
been dead four days, and no one
witnessing the event could
doubt the power of God. Even
on this occasion, Christ was a
Present Help.
Probably the most comforting
thing to know about God being
a Present Help is the fact that
when we sincerely ask for for
giveness for our sins, He for
gives us immediately.
Regardless to our needs, we
can rest assured that our
LORD is A “RIGHT NOW"
GOD.
