COMMENTS MADE IN THE YEAR 1957
I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's
going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.
Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long
before $5000 will only buy a used one.
If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a
pack is ridiculous.
Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just
to mail a letter?
If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire
outside help at the store.
When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would
someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the
car in the garage.
Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it
impossible to stay groomed.. Next thing you know, boys will be
wearing their hair as long as the girls.
I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they
let Clark Gable get by with saying "damn" in "Gone With the Wind", it
seems every new movie has either "hell" or "damn" in it.
I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put
a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some
fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.
Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for
$75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday
they'll be making more than the President.
I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be
electric. They're even making electric typewriters now.
It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married
women are having to work to make ends meet. It won't be long before
young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids
so they can both work.
I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a
whole lot of foreign business.
Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes
half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the
best people to Congress.
The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I
seriously doubt they will ever catch on.
There's no sense going into the city anymore for a weekend. It costs
nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel.
No one can afford to be sick anymore; $35 a day in the hospital is
too rich for my blood.
If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it."

(Here is a special "senior" version of "Jesus
Loves Me" written for a senior VBS. It is quite cute so, all you
"Seniors" and "Seniors-to-be," please read, sing and enjoy. God@Work editor)
Jesus loves me, this I know
Though my hair is white as snow.
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.
(CHORUS)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; YES, JESUS LOVES ME;
YES. JESUS LOVES ME; THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go.
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.
(chorus)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; YES, JESUS LOVES ME;
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
Though I am no longer young,
I have much which He's begun.
Let me serve Christ with a smile;
Go with others the extra mile.
(chorus)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; YES, JESUS LOVES ME;
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song;
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have not fear, for I am near."
(chorus)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; YES, JESUS LOVES ME;
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
When my work on earth is done,
And life's vic'tries have been won;
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love.
(chorus)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; YES, JESUS LOVES ME;
YES, JESUS LOVES ME; THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
I love Jesus; does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say
That I love Mim every day.
Yes, I love Jesus,
Yes, I love Jesus,
Yes, I love Jesus
I tell Him when I pray.
We will encounter no greater theological truth in our lives than
this: "Jesus love me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."
PRAYER:
God of the ages, thank You for your steadfast love revealed to us in
all our ages and stages of life through the Bible. Amen.
