Jesus Loves the Little Children October 8, 2025
Posted by Dr. Robert Owens in Uncategorized.add a comment
One thing
I never expected,
as I matured
into a seasoned citizen
is how cute,
kids would become to me.
When I was younger,
I appreciated the children,
God allowed me to help raise.
I appreciated,
my nieces and nephews.
But other children
were just there.
I didn’t pay,
much attention to them.
I was almost the embodiment,
of that famous old quote
From W. C. Fields,
“Get away boy, you bother me.”
Now
as a member
of the receding generation
I find children a blessing,
just to watch,
their innocence
is a source,
of constant wonder
and astonishment to me.
Something
precious to behold,
and
sacred to protect.
As a Child October 7, 2025

In “As a Child” S5 / E24 of I Took a Right Turn: begins with comments about the world we live in and of course the weather. Then some songs from something most of us heard as a child to the ultimate truths of reality: Open the Eyes of My Heart, My Life is in You Lord, and Jesus Loves the Little Children. Then we share one of our home-grown songs: Every Time I Turn Around. In the Bible we look at Luke 18:15-17 learning that God wants us to keep it simple. Robert then reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” 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.

After Everything Else October 1, 2025
Posted by Dr. Robert Owens in Uncategorized.add a comment
Usually by the time
we’re old enough to know anything,
we’ve figured out,
that just because
we’re the center of
our observable reality,
that reality
doesn’t revolve around us.
After that
it doesn’t take long,
to realize
that the cold machinery
of the space-time continuum
takes as little heed,
to us
as we do to the microbes
in the ground
we walk over every day.
When we come
to the end of ourselves,
we have the chance,
to find
the beginning
of everything else.
And there:
Is God.
Watch What God Does September 30, 2025

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.
