In “Watch What God Does” S5 / E23 of I Took a Right Turn: starts out with Robert and Rosalie in the Promised Land thinking about how we need to keep our eyes on God.  Then they share some of their favorite songs from days past: Oh How I Love Jesus, I Keep Falling in Love With Him, and one more contemporary song: Living He Loved Me. Then we share one of our home-grown songs: I Want to Love the Lord in You.  In our Bible study this week we dive into Ephesians 5:1-2. If you’ve ever wondered what God wants you to do this is a good place to start.  Robert then reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “After Everything.”  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s more than forty books are available in paperback and kindle through Amazon. We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

In “Be Ready” S5  E22 of I Took a Right Turn: Rosalie and Robert start out with some thoughts on the world today in the Promised Land.  Moving on from there some old revival songs come as several blasts from the past: Soon and Very Soon, I’m on My Way to Heaven, and When the Roll is Called up Yonder.  Next one of our home-grown songs: Be Ready offers up a call to action Opening the Bible, we look at Luke 12:35-38. In this passage Jesus tells us how we are to prepare for His Second Coming.  Then Robert reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “Popeye Had it Nailed.”  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

Following the crowd instead of following God comes from fearing man more than we fear God.

Popeye Had it Nailed September 17, 2025

We get,

what we get

because:

That’s what we got.

This is the possessive,

of Popeye’s philosophical high point:

“I yam what I yam an’ tha’s all I yam.”

Which is the cartoon reflection,

of the Hippie truism:

“It is what it is cause that’s what it is.”

Which is the modern reflection,

of Aristotle’s insight

into the law of identity:

“Whatever is, is,”

Which is the verbal expression,

for the math term:

For all a: a = a.
