Doin’ It For You
Sometimes it’s a faster intervention to help someone change when we simply hold up a mirror so they can see for themselves some of the ridiculous positions they take. DOIN’ IT FOR YOU I treat you politely Baby, And so you can’t complain I hold the door when you go out An’ when you go […]

Let’s all bow our heads so that we may give thanks For polysorbate in our beans and franks For salad dressing all shiny and brown With mono-diglycerides t’help it slide down! Cho: Grace! Grace! For what the Lord gives! May the Saints all preserves us with preservatives! Grace! Grace! Give thanks! Open wide! Our chances […]
