When Life Misfires: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

“When our car misfires,/
we fix it. We should do the/
same when life misfires.”
(Paraphrasing wisdom from the pulpit.)

Folks get blamed for things/
they had no hand in, but God’s/
hand is in all things.”

(Original quote from the pulpit: “A lot of people get blamed for things they had no hand in, but the Lord’s hand is in everything.”)

Don’t get so busy/
asking God for things that you/
forget to thank Him.

Georgia pines may look /

like Charlie Brown yule trees, but /

they don’t make me sneeze.

Conjunction Junction,/
what’s your function? To remind /
me of God’s coolness.

My Uncle told me/
a deer-hunting secret: Find /
horizontal lines. Whitetail deer hunting secret Horizontal line at Chickamauga NMP

My whole life I’ve tried/
to fit in, ’til God told me : /
“Get used to diff’rent.”

An Apostle of/
the Lord suggests we wear masks,/
and people argue?

Do things

that make you happy

and

you will be happy.
