My America
I was thinkin' about my country
when I boarded that big plane.
I turned around and I saw beauty
as far I could see.
I am proud to be going
to help fight to keep her free.
That's the reason that I'm on my way
That's what she expects of me.
Said I'd be comin back soon
and get down on my knees.
I'll kiss the soil I'm standin on,
This land of the brave and free.
My America
My America
God gave this land to me.
My America
My America
Where I'm blessed and I'm still free.
There were many close calls
every where I turned.
I seemed to avoid it all,
but this one time I learned,
I won't be coming home.
The Lord said He needed me
and the reason for my bein' gone
only you will see
So if I had the chance to ask you
to do one thing for me.
Stand up tall, walk outside
and kiss the soil for me.
My America
My America
God gave this land to me
My America
My America
where I'm blessed and I'm still free.
Thank God for America
I can be what I wanna' be
In America
My America
for you and me
My america
My america
God gave this land to me
My America
My America
where I'm blessed
and I'm still free

Pissing Pedro ...born again?
a few years ago, we had a Chihuahua
his name was Pedro
no matter how I tried
I could not potty train him!
so we nicknamed him...
...Pissin' Pedro!
if there was a spot in the house
he didn't pee on
I couldn't find it....
.....except one place
one day I returned from work
to find
Pedro had climbed on top
of the kitchen table....
that wasn't all..
he peed right in the middle of
my Bible!
Now, if you ask me
I think that was an Omen
I don't know though...
... you tell me
you see, a few weeks later...
Pissin' Pedro came up missing...
...on Christmas Day!
We looked the neighborhood and everywhere we could think of...
...but no Pedro!
well I've heard different versions
of what might have happened to dear old Pedro
Some say, he sealed his own fate, the day he peed on the Bible
but others say...
He got raptured ..
or maybe he went to a third-world country
and spent his life as a missionary...
but to tell you the truth..
I'm just happy the house doesn't smell like pee anymore!!
