These lyrics were part of a record released by the Statler Brothers in 1966. I just need to mention that they weren’t brothers, but this fact has nothing to do with the point I’m trying to make.
… Countin’ flowers on the wall
That don’t bother me at all
Playin’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of 51
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me, I’ve nothin’ to do
In solitaire, you can’t win if there is a card missing. You can come close, but there’ll be “no cigar.” How many do you know who are not playing with a full deck? They are one fry short of a happy meal.
Life has more purpose when we do it God’s way and the results are for winners.
“Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.
Think about it. This is our generation; find purposeful things to do and you should never be bored.
