We Brought this on Ourselves

Thank God everyone on board US Airways plane survived!   Now it’s time for some comic relief:

Give Geese a Chance

In the wake of the events of 1-15, in which a wedge of Geese brought down a US Airways aircraft, here’s what you won’t be hearing about from the so-called “Mainstream Media”: We brought this on ourselves.

After an event such as this one, it’s important to look at the root causes: Why did the Geese attack us? Well, the truth is, for years we have been oppressing the Geese, using them for the fuel they provide for our bodies.

Self-Deprecating Humor

I have not been feeling well for a while — nothing to worry about — so I decided I needed a good laugh. With the Olympics in full swing this seems apropos. It cracked me up something terrible while I was making it. How would you rate our performance? Gold, silver or bronze?

Word Playing Again

So I’m watching TV the other day and this commercial comes on demonstrating a home steam cleaner.   I started thinking about the words steam cleaner.   I realize it’s describing a machine that cleans using steam.   For some reason though I think of it as something that cleans steam.   Now why would one want to do that?   Steam is already clean.   (Yes, it’s crazy I know!   Blame it on the heat.)

To Wine or Whine

So… yet again the husband and I are dining out (he’s a bad cook and I can’t). I overhear a conversation at another table.

Treadmilling the Dog

We don’t have a dog, but we do have two cats.   Nevertheless, I enjoy watching Cesar Milan, a.k.a. The Dog Whisperer.   It always cracks me up when he goes to people’s homes and they have dogs who are so bad because their owners spoiled them.  

Meet My New Friend

This little frog was a gift from a six-year-old girl at church named Alexi. She came to talk to me a couple of weeks ago after church and showed me this frog she made during Kids Zone. On the back of it is a scripture verse which she read out loud to me: “I praise you God because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well!” Psalms 139:14.

We talked about how well she read the scripture verse and about the frog. I told her I thought it was very cute and then she gave it to me. I thanked her and off she went. That afternoon we had our church picnic and Alexi’s grandmother, Loretta, came over to speak with me. Loretta told me she asked Alexi why she gave me the frog. Alexi told her, “I bet she doesn’t have any little kids in her life to give her gifts, so that’s why I wanted her to have something from me.”

Isn’t that the sweetest thing?
