Saved?

[Eric Smith]

The Gospel Poem

God is mighty in His power
And gives grace to see you through
His love is shown through Jesus
Whose Blood was shed for you

Crucified to the cross
All our sins He did bear
He died that day at Calvary
Because of His great care

They laid Him in a tomb
The third day He was raised
By the power of the Spirit
For this we give Him Praise

He first appeared to Mary
Whom seven demons had possessed
She ran and told the disciples
But they doubted like the rest

He appeared to them at dinner
In the midst of them He came
Commanded them to preach
In His Holy name

Taken up into a cloud
The disciples watched Him go
To the right-hand of the Father
Through Him we now know

He now intercedes in Heaven
So with boldness to the Throne
We approach with Holy reverence
Because God's grace is known

His Gospel is everlasting
And as stewards of this we know
That someday we'll be with Jesus
With our garments as white as snow


And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he
who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow
those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will
speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink
anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on
the sick, and they will recover." Mark 16:15-18

I scanned through this Vogon Poetry Exhibit, and there was not one
damned thing about yaks, barfing, or otherwise. What is your problem?

You wouldn't believe.

Just yesterday, I was walking past my boss' office, after having just
been outside for a smoke, and remarked that it was "snowing like a son
of a bitch" outside. He said, "How does a son of a bitch snow,
exactly?" I pointed to his window, and said, "Just like that." He
turned around, looked out his window, and said, "Son of a bitch!"

My Sis in Anchorage sent photos of her yard. The snow is higher than
her car dojo and one can no longer see top of fence. She said more was
falling.

It rather made me twice about pulling up stakes for Anchorage.

In the last 16 years, I don't think I've seen a storm like this.
Three days of almost non-stop, HEAVY snow, one day of just a little,
and then two more heavy snow days. We're buried up to our asses.
Sunday night, I went out like a good boy, cleared the mass of snow off
my truck, caught the snowplow guy at my neighbor's house, had him plow
my driveway, and by Monday morning you couldn't tell I had done any of
it. I would post some pictures of it, just so you could all see what
we're dealing with, but picture of snow-on-snow don't really come out
very good, and now that it's turned ball-shriveling cold, I have no
intention of staying out there long enough to figure out how to get a
good picture. You'll just have to take my word for it. It's a LOT of
damned snow!

Our greatest spy satellites tell us Vanilla Gorilla (Monkey Boy) didn't
leave this on his/her roof:

I suggest you get a horse, they're taller.

ahahahaha. I know that feeling, not with snow, but leaves...
but I mean, I bet the others don't know the felling as well

Couldn't you go upstairs and take a pic of your car on the driveway?

Alternatively if that doesn't give enough perspective, ring one
of your neighbours up, and tell em you can see their dog on the
drive.... when they turn up, take a picture of them, showing us
all the snow. You may find it easiest to then pretend not to be
in.

the photo my sis sent was from an angle above (her house toward the
garage, and the snow was up to the eaves of the garage and in spots
above the eaves and onto the roof of the garage. I am not sure how tall
her garage is, nor if some of that snow had blown there as a drift, but
it wasn't snow that slid off the garage roof, as that was still there.

She said she was spending several hours a day with an electric snow
shovel thing and could not keep up.

nasty...I used to think eastern Washington could be pretty bad. On rare
occasions we'd get 2 feet of snow and that could pile up from the road
scraping to higher than 4 feet..one did not dare to not keep the
driveway opened for once it froze all together the drive could not be
used until the thaw. We all put flags on the antennae and once it was
like slot-cars downtown. But that was very very rare.

You gots my sympathy VG...digging out 2-3x a day isn't fun at all.

hope it stops and wears down a bit. Hey, do the bears and moose get on
the roofs when it gets that high? heh.

A Strongbad Poem

Trogdor mighty in His power
Gives to you his fiery breath
While folks yell "FUCK!" and "JESUS!"
He shows them fiery death

Trogdor is so damn boss
Consummate V's he wears
He does not care for chivalry
Flying through the night air

He is like a phat bomb
The countryside he razed
With his hot flaming dragon spit
On peasants' heads did graze

He burninated Mary
Like a great demon with his zest
She ran with her head on fire
Because her long hair burned best

He ate the village for dinner
They were all raw when he came
But soon they cooked and screached
In His bad ass flame

Can you see the big black cloud
Just watch them run to and fro
Through mothers, sons, and fathers
His dragon breath does blow

He burninates the heavens
And makes all the angels groan
And you will catch this reference
Where homestarrunner's known

While Trogdor is burninating
His funny cartoon you may know
If you go and look up Strongbad
And watch his little dragon show


Bugs & Hisses,
Friar Jack

Praise the Yak, you're alive!

Funnily enough, I checked out your weblog last week for the first time
in *ages*. Fascinating stuff. I told everybody about your decaying
neighbour! How the devil are you sir?

[Friar Jack]

I am just dandy. Actually, I am a truck driver now. Fancy that! I get
paid more than most college graduates to wander about the states and a
few provinces, too. I'd still rather be making music (Hymns to the
Yak, of course), but this will pay for that. Sorry I don't have enough
time to read all the posts going back. How have you been?

May the Yak bless your new year.

It wouldn't be hard to get paid more than this university graduate...

Shoulda learned to drive a truck instead of going to uni...

Glad to see you have survived!

Happy new year!

Good to hear from you Mr. Alan, sir! I got to spend New Year's Eve
with my friend Dmitri. We drank vodka around a campfire (Ketle One is
some nasty swill!) and his father played some bardic songs - in
Russian. It was a good night even though I couldn't understand most of
what they said. How was yours?

I'll be going out on the road soon for 28 days. The e-mail address on
this accound is just a spam hole, but I do check one Yahoo gave me
using the handle j122777b. Say... where is that barfing yak website
again?

Have a safe leap year,

I just stayed in and took advantage of an empty house to play
guitar at loud volumes. :)
