PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 95 - Know Good
Pawpaw loves Connor, Bryson and Archer! Now and forever!
Good morning, guys. I wonder where you are and what you are doing. I do this every single day. I miss you more than I can put into words.
I hope you stumble across this blog and read these messages. I love you.
Today, I'm sharing with you a song that I composed when I was a Christian singer songwriter sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Your Mom used to play with her Barbie dolls while I played my guitar and wrote songs.
This song is titled KNOW GOOD. It is based on the Bible passages
* Matthew 25:31-46
* Luke 10:25-37
* James 4:17
Basically, what all these passages say is that it is no good just to know good if you are not going to do it.
Know Good
By Steven Skelley
Jesus told about a man who went walking down a road
That man was beaten, robbed and stripped left bleeding nude and cold
Oh that's no good
No that's no good
Then along came religious men
you'd have thought that they would help
Don't you know that they just walked on by
only thinking of themselves
Oh that's no good
No that's no good
It's no good just to know good
if you're not going to do it oh no
It's no good just to know good
you've got to put some action to it
It's no good just to know good
It's no good just to know good
Jesus said that we will stand
when we've finished our lives' roads
God will separate every woman and man
like separating sheep from goats
Oh that's no good
No that's no good
Jesus tells the women and men
separated as the goats
Your faith was worthless helping no one
As far as heaven you've missed the boat
Oh that's no good
No that's no good
It's no good just to know good if you're not going to do
it oh no
It's no good just to know good you've got to put some
action to it
It's no good just to know good. It's no good just to know good

I hope that by now you know that I did not leave you. We loved each other from the days you were born. My husband Tom and I were banned from your lives after your parents adopted a new religion and political view. I have tried repeatedly to reach your Mon and Dad but they will not return my messages. Please know that Pawpaw didn't abandon you. My heart is broken and I think about you every day. If I'm not still alive when you stumble across these messages, please know that you were loved.
Love always,
Pawpaw
