Can You?

A poem covering the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

Can You?
Ramblin' Rose

Can you hear the hands of soldiers

Falling on His face?

Can you feel the love of God,

Do you know His grace?

Can you hear the cracking whip

Falling on his back?

Can you see my Lord's bruises

Turning blue and black?

Can you hear the crowd calling

Saying "Crucify the Lord!"

Can you hear the cries of Jesus

As he fell to Roman sword?

Can you hear Jesus' voice

As on the cross He dwell?

Can you hear the cries of pain

Each time the hammer fell?

Can you hear the giant stone

Sealing up His grave?

Can you hear the cries of Mary

As there her dear Lord laid?

Can you hear the stone landing

After being cast away?

Can you hear the awestruck Thomas,

As his hands on Jesus lay?

Can you hear the believing voices

As they shout in victory?

Can you hear the voice of the Lamb

That died for you and me?

Can you hear the Roman Soldiers

Shocked by Jesus' life?

Can you hear the Jewish leaders

Slipping through their strife?

Can you see the Son and Lamb

At the right hand of God?

Can you hear the voice of Christians

As His lifted name they laud?

Can you hear the falling Romans

As they bow on bended knee?

Can you see the Lamb of God,

Who died for you and me?

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
