Hey, Cuilionn: Yeah, I agree with you. For those who believe in God there's plenty of evidence that He's not bothered by arguments. If the bible is true, he even got into a wrestling match with Jacob, who demanded that God bless him. My gospel quartet used to do a song I liked titled Wrestling Jacob where Jacob says to God I won't let go, "not until you bless my soul." Of course, Jacob lost, but so would Hulk Hogan.

Hi, Ebbie! What a delight that so many old and breand new friends are stopping by. Yes, I'm still writing songs. They're mostly gospel, but even the gospel songs are very much in a folk vein. Here's one of the more recent ones I've done in folk concerts that's gotten an enthusiastic response. It's very much a finger-picked country blues in style.

Just Because You Like To Do It, That Don't Make It Right

God come to Noah late one day, said "Son I got a job for you"
I'm getting mighty sick of these people 'round here, doin' what they want to do
I told 'em once, I told 'em twice
They never want to listen to my advice
So build yourself a boat and get on outta here
Before it rains

CHORUS:
   Well I ain't been to Heaven but I've been told
   The streets up there are lined with gold
   I ain't been to Hell but from what I hear
   It can get mighty hot down there
   So you better mind your manners, watch your P's and Q's
   'Cause you don't know when God's watching you
   And just because you like to do it, that don't make it right

God sent Jonah across the sea in the belly of a whale
He sent him down to Ninevah, and he lived to tell the tale
He told them people, better mind your ways
You better get ready for the judgement day
And just because you like to do it, that don't make it right

You can read it in the papers and the maqazines, this world's about to go to Hell
Kids are shooting drugs, kids are shooting kids, and things too fierce to tell
You can do what you do, say what you say
But you better get ready for judgement day
And just because you like to do it, that don't make it right
