ISSUES AND ANSWERS
ALL LIVES MATTER
ACRES OF DIAMONDS
ON ASSIGNMENT
HEAVENLY CHOICES
SATAN'S PLOT
THE MUSIC OF LIFE
MY MIRACLE
HOPE AND FAITH
CONFIDENCE IN CHRIST JESUS
Live-streaming
THE WONDERS OF HIS LOVE
SPIRITUAL THINGS
AIN'T NO ROCK
20/20 Vision
PROTECTING OUR BLINDSIDE
HE CHOOSE ME
SEEN AND LOVED BY GOD
TREASURE BOX
SETTLED OUT OF COURT
JESUS KNEW
BASKET OF EGGS
The AGONY AND THE ECSTACY
IT IS A MATTER OF THE HEART
BLIND MEN
STAY IN YOUR LANE
THE MESSIAH'S SEAT
THE SILENT CRY
THE SINFULNESS OF SIN
THE GLORY OF GOD
MORE THAN JUST A BABE
GOD'S GUARDIAN ANGELS

Exactly Like My Mama Did
Did those words come from me?
Oh goodness, no, I wouldn't kid!
But can't you see how much I sound
Exactly like my mama did!
Those were her words, of course,
So exactly...so precise.
She always told me that one day
I would be using her advice.
O, indeed, I love to cook!!
But, then, I guess you've noticed, too,
That I am making every dish
Exactly like she used to do .
I use garlic pods galore
And so much pepper is poured in!
"It's got to have a lot of spice,"
She'd always tell me with a grin.
I stared into the bathroom mirror
And, all at once, it did occur
To me that someone staring back
Seemed to look a lot like her!
And, gee, here I go once more
Tuning in classic TV.
I can't seem to get away
From those shows she watched with me.
I Love Lucy and Gunsmoke...
Bonanza and The Twilight Zone...
But every weekend of my youth
The Grand Ole Opry was turned on.
She had a thing for Ernest Tubb...
I guess he rubbed off on her kid...
Because I really love his voice...
Exactly like my mama did!
