Odyssey Spin-off Series in the Works?


This was seen posted at odysseyscoop.com on Tuesday, February 14, 2012, but mysteriously vanished a few hours later...

"Have you ever imagined an Adventures in Odyssey spinoff series? Although it hasn't been officially approved by Focus on the Family for production, the wheels are turning. Take a look at what the series could (perhaps) involve:

A new spin-off series may be in the works for older Adventures in Odyssey fans, ages 13–20, featuring your 3 favorite characters, Whit, Connie and Eugene, and other old favorites as well! The stories and situations will center around Campbell County Community College and deal with spiritual warfare, covert government operations and more! This idea is not yet officially approved by Focus on the Family, but if it sounds exciting to you, tell all of your AIO friends! Let’s get this spin-off series on the air!

Will an Adventures in Odyssey spinoff series actually happen? That's where you come in. If you are interested in seeing Odyssey branch off into a similar series for older listeners, be sure to show your support and share with other AIO fans. Of course, we'll keep you posted as Odyssey news hits the fan in the days ahead. Show your support and bring even more valuable Adventures in Odyssey!"

A Sneaky Little Fellow...



When Andrew was a boy
He was a sneaky little fellow
He was also rather coy
Yet with a truck under his pillow…

He liked to walk his pig
In the wee hours of the night
Upon his brother big
Until he’d jump in fright.

Sleepy eyes were out of luck
With the pain caused by these eye-sores
For in addition to the truck
There were also poky dinosaurs.

He would get up in the night
And ask for too much milk
Begging with all his might
In voices less soft than silk.

My dad would hide out in the hall
Staying out of view
For out yonder his son would soon crawl
As a dog returns to puke…

Andrew also escaped from the nursery
On occasions many and fine
He felt pre-school much too cursory
And joined the old folks up in prime-time.

At that time his father was not feared
For Andrew lacked the logic of Spock
Also, back then dad had no beard
So his countenance commenced less shock.

Andrew sure was sneaky alright
Yet had his due comeuppance
For one day whilst escaping with might
Was gathered up in the arms of his grandpaps.

Disaster

The glowing star has fallen from the sky
Blazing brightly, a burning rock of fire
The people of the earth let out a cry
A shout that pierces through the atmosphere.

It splits apart and then hits the surface
Colliding with the land and water both
People of earth – all panicked and nervous
All of them are outside of Noah’s boat.

The ground caves in and the waters spew out
The fountains of the deep have been released
The people of the earth let out a shout
then drown from the disaster in the East.

Only the seven plus Noah so old
Open their eyes to see a brand new world.

Attaining Wisdom


Here is some advice
It will keep you wise
And happy in this year
The wisdom starts here:

Make sure you poop once a day
For it’s a bad thing to delay
If you have to go today,
Why wait ‘til Saturday?

Be sure to eat lots of meat
Because meat is very neat
And it contains a lot of protein
To keep your muscles always bloating

And stay far away from cats
Because cats are always brats
And they make you sneeze
Because of your allergies

Vegetables you must avoid
Not because you’re paranoid
But because they are bad
Very very very bad

Now you are wise
At least in my eyes
So happy birthday to you
My brother of decades, two

The Sanctified Snowman

There once was a snowman named Fred
He wore a top hat on his head
He looked on sunny days with dread
They reminded him someday he’d be dead.

He showed up to church every Sunday at ten
And sat smiling in his pew until it would begin
He sang hallelujah and shouted amen
The preacher preached freedom from Satan and sin.

Afterwards everyone sat down to eat
Potlucks after church are always a treat
They ate there for hours, it was really quite neat
Until someone decided to turn up the heat.

Our snowman friend Fred was now in deep trouble
For while eating his meal he turned into a puddle.

The thermostat had been turned up to a whopping ninety-seven
But Fred didn’t care much because he was in heaven.
