Ain’t My First RodeoWritten by Chris Scott Fieselman

This ain’t, my first tour of duty.This ain’t, my first time in hell.There’s nothing that, you can do to me,That ain’t been done, by someone else.Now I’m a real long way from a virgin,And you sure as hell can’t say that I’m green.My past, ain’t some kind of burden.I can’t begin to tell you all that I’ve seen. I’ve been up. I’ve been down.Take my word, I’ve been around.I’ve been here. I’ve been there.I’ve been all, most everywhere.I have seen, so many things.Been a Pauper. Been a King.Been around this mountain before…No, This Ain’t My First Rodeo…

Now, I’ve been with people in power.Had more than my five – minutes of fame.Been through my share of darkest hours.Enjoyed the hell out of, Playing the Game.I can talk my way out of trouble.You may think you’ve seen my kind before.Well, I hate to have to burst your bubble.But, I always leave them begging for more.

Remember to Thank and Praise

So do let’s thank and praise these Senators for their bravery, spearheading the action that led to a Tennessee court ruling that the Republican drawn state voter maps are unconstitutional.

I am Grateful

This is to all mothers — single mothers, mothers-to-be, fathers taking on the role of both parents, etc. This may sound unbelievable. But anything is possible. I thank God every day that I am not what I’ve gone through in my life. I am grateful, truly, and will always give Him all the glory, praise, and honor for my life and my family.
