The Girl Friend--George Olsen & His Music (1926)
One early autumn morning as I drove to work in the dark, I was startled by a flash of brown in my headlights followed by the sound of something hitting the front of my car. I had clipped a deer at 70 miles per hour! It was only a glancing blow, and no damage was done to my car (or the deer, as far as I could tell), but it really shook me up. I had been in my usual autopilot mode for the familiar drive to the office, but the shock of the incident certainly got my attention. I was now fully alert and trying to calm a racing heartbeat. It was a most unpleasant wake-up call.
The apostle Peter offers us a different kind of wake-up callone that while unpleasant is necessary. He alerts us to a spiritual battle we are engaged in with a powerful enemy. Peter warns, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). This is a call to wake up, see the danger, and be ready for his attack!
Only when we are aware of the danger that faces us every day will we consciously seek the help we need. And only if we are on the alert will we lean on the strength of our Lord, who is greater than our spiritual enemy.
Read: 1 Peter 5:1-9

PLAYMATE-Kay Kayser
From my childhood in the 40s.
Playmate come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three,
Climb up my apple tree,
Look down my rain barrel,
Slide down my cellar door,
And we’ll be jolly friends forever more
She couldn’t come out and play,
It was a sunny day
With tearful eye, she breathed a sigh
And I could hear her say,
I’m sorry, playmate,
I cannot play with you
My dollies have the flu,
Ain’t got no rain barrel,
Ain’t got no cellar door
But we’ll be jolly friends, forever more

Great harpsichord line during the verse, but you can barely hear it.
This tune was written by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen, who would score big the next year with Happy Days are Here Again.
With great pleasure and gratitude.
[so, can you ping everybody on FR for us or not?]

Thanks
