The Thinking Conference
The thinking conference, *
Wants all to make a difference.
That’s the purpose of such program.
Maybe, its pictures are on Instagram.
The thinking conference,
Makes accurate Bible reference.
In order to know about the Kingdom.
And acquire awesome wisdom.
The thinking conference,
Teach most folks and the audience.
Through the power of radio.
As its broadcast from the studio.
The thinking conference,
Describe what life is, in a better sentence.
So as to read, write and meditate.
Be it a leader or follower, it helps to cogitate.
The thinking conference,
Does not want you and I to have offence.
But rather make impact in our generation.
Thus, elsewhere or this nation.
