Maybe it’s the time of year. When the time changes, it’s a giant energy sucker. I can’t seem to motivate myself to post anything. It used to be that I would say to myself dozens of times over the course of a day, “Hey, I need to blog about that”. Now I can’t think of a thing that seems worthwhile to post.<\/p>\n
In any event, last night I remembered a riddle that my mother was never able to figure out. It does have an answer, but I’m not going to post it. Yet. Can you solve it?<\/p>\n
God made Adam out of dust
\nBut thought it best to make me first
\nSo I was made before the man
\nAccording to Gods Holy plan
\nMy whole body God made complete
\nWith out arms or hands or feet
\nMy ways and acts did God control
\nBut in my body he placed no soul
\nA living thing I became
\nAnd Adam gave to me a name
\nThen from his presence I withdrew
\nFor this man Adam I never knew
\nAll my makers laws I do obey
\nAnd from these laws I never stray
\nThousands of me go in fear
\nBut seldom on the earth appear
\nLater for a purpose God did see
\nHe placed a living soul in me
\nBut the soul of mine God did had to claim
\nAnd from me he took it back again
\nAnd when this soul from me had fled
\nI was the same as when first made
\nWithout arms, legs, feet, or soul
\nI travel from pole to pole
\nMy labors are from day to night
\nAnd to men I once furnished light
\nThousands of people both young and old
\nDid by my death bright lights behold
\nNo right or wrong can I conceive
\nThe bible and it’s teachings I can’t believe
\nThe fear of death doesn’t trouble me
\nPure happiness I will never see
\nAnd up in heaven I can never go
\nNor in the grave or in hell below
\nSo get your bible and read with care
\nYou’ll find my name recorded there.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
