Over a Barrel

Dispute over a log…

Over a barrel, Cracker Barrel
reversed their nifty plans.
Their fresh new look did not impress
their loyal trusted fans.

“You’re off your rocker!” they complained.
“Don’t mess with what we crave.
That old-world charm and old-time look
is what you have to save.”

“We aren’t impressed with spit and shine.
What feeds our joy is found
in grits and gravy, cornbread hash
and waffles golden brown.”

In addition to these weekly blogs, Greg also produces a daily video devotional on YouTube. Here is a link to a sample devotional. If you like what you see, click subscribe and you will receive a notification when a new video is posted. https://youtu.be/yBmIdE9uDRY?si=f6ArRuctS41N7Iru
