“Gosh, could a cautios Covenantor
\nWait for the Grace?<\/p>\n

– “To The Potatoe” by James Orr<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Neeps
Neeps and Tatties<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If such a man took his place
\nWith hungry stomach and smiling face
\nLooked on potatoes with milk to chase
\nEven though he should
\nGod would forgive him for skipping grace
\nOh, yeah, he would!<\/p>\n

For when he has tucked away
\nHis dinner – then he can pray
\nAnd give thanks throughout the day
\nFor by seating
\nNo grace does man need to say
\nHe gives praise by merely eating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
