Henson Cargill singing his classic 1968 signature hit - Skip A Rope, on a Monument album of the same name. It was a # 1 hit for 5 weeks on the Billboard Country chart. Younger fans of the song can find it on K-Tel's 1997 various artists album - The 101 Greatest Country Hits, Vol. 5: Country Memories. The music and the lyrics are provided for entertainment and educational purposes only. Skip A Rope Skip a rope, skip a rope, Oh, listen to the children while they play, Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say, Skip a rope. Daddy hates momma, momma hates dad, Last night you shoulda heard the fight they had, Gave little sister another bad dream, She woke us all up with a terrible scream. Skip a rope, skip a rope Oh, listen to the children while they play, Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say, Skip a rope. Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool, Now what was that they said about a Golden Rule? Never mind the rule, just play to win, And hate your neighbour for the shade of his skin. Skip a rope, skip a rope. Oh, listen to the children while they play, Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say, Skip a rope. Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the game, And mom and daddy are who's to blame. Skip a rope, skip a rope, Just listen to your children while they play, It's really not very funny, what your children say, Skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope Written by Jack Moran and Glenn Tubb.

Dave and Clarice have been married forever; yet the things that they do not know about one another could fill up a small house. That is the basic problem in their marriage. They have grown apart over the years, rather than together. How many marriages are the same way? Not Easily Broken is the latest novel by mega preacher, T. D. Jakes about an upper class African American couple who find that their marriage has fallen into disrepair right before their eyes. Neither one of them seem to be able to acknowledge the truth of the matter. They have gotten used to acting like nothing is wrong until they are involved in a near-fatal car crash and Clarice is seriously injured. As David fails miserably at his attempts to take care of his wife; he finally admits that he no longer feels needed. Her lack of neediness and her inability to trust him with her fears is at the core of their problems. Suddenly; the wonderful life that they have built is no longer enough. The house, the cars and the material possessions are no longer fulfilling because they both realize that they have lost that loving feeling between them. Jakes weaves an interesting tale of woe in this novel. What I appreciated most about the book is that it is not your average work of Christian fiction where every little detail is wrapped up in a nice little package, because the characters are following the call of the Lord. The characters in this book are real. Clarice is a woman who makes you want to actually slap her. Her self-centered persona is portrayed so realistically that she could be someone that you know. And although the Johnsons belong to a church that they attend regularly; they dont seem to be spirit-filled believers. They arent the type that lean on God for guidance; at least not until they find themselves deep in trouble which is the case with most people. While Clarice is caught up with keeping up with the Joneses and climbing the ladder of success in the real estate business; Dave is a down to earth man who is more interested in mentoring young males in the community than making money. His humble position as the owner of a small janitorial services business is enough for him and that bothers Clarice. On the other hand; her disinterest in having children is a thorn in Daves side. You wonder what brought these two together in the first instance.
