"Gutsy Mama"

Mama and Daddy were a typical young American couple. After Dad worked hard all week,
 they went out on Saturday nights, to local bars, such as 
"The Lucky Spot," or "The Blackboard." 

 One particular evening at the "Blackboard," 
a gentleman who had, one too many drinks, was arrested.

As the police officer's were trying to get him in the cruiser, 
he resisted, afraid of the "German Shepard," in the back seat. They plummeted the poor guy with their fists, 
as the bewildered fellow doubled over in pain.

In response my petite little "mother" came running to his rescue, ready to take on the entire police force if necessary.

 As her ladylike hands & feet were flying,  
Daddy, picked her up, and split before they had the chance
 to haul his "Lady" to jail, along with the drunk stranger.

Those who know her cannot imagine such a scene. 
She was courageous then, and she is courageous now. 

When she boogied on the dance floor,
 God knew she would move through the jungles of the Philippines.

When she sang in the "Honkey Tonks," 
God knew she would sing in
 "Church!"

When she was a "Truck Driver's Wife,"
 God knew she would be a 
"Preacher's Wife."

When she was lost,
 God knew she would be found.
