Show notes

Twas the day after Mother’s Day,

And we were both tired,

but good news is, neither one of us got fired.

Moms received candy and flowers,

and after his sermon, Timmy needed to sleep for hours.

A new series kicked off at Safety Harbor,

from the look of this camera angle, it’s time for a trip to the barber.

More ministry was done, but none of it rhymed, so we’ll talk about it if we have time.
