Today’s Groaner:

 

When my grandson, Billy, and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

Today’s Not So Trivial Bible Trivia Question:

WHO was Deborah's husband?!

Today’s Laffs:

A young couple had their first baby. When it was one year
old, it hadn't said a word; one and a half years, still not
a word. The parents took the baby to a pediatrician, who
said, "Everything's perfectly normal. Just be patient."

And so it went until the child's 25th month. They were all
having breakfast and the child turned to his mother and
said, "This oatmeal is too lumpy!"

The parents were amazed, and asked, "Why haven't you talked
before?"

The child replied, "Up till now, things have gone very
well."

:o)

Eight and a half months very pregnant with twins, I was used to getting nervous glances from strangers. But I never realized how imposing I was until my husband and I went out to dinner at a new restaurant.

The hostess sat us at our table, took one long look at my stomach and asked, "Would you like me to get you a high chair just in case?"

:o)

At the police station, Bubba explained to the police officer why his cousins shot him.
 
"Well," Bubba began, "We wuz havin' a good time, when my cousin Ray picked up his shotgun and said, 'Hey, der ya fellows wanna go hunting?'"
 
"And then what happened?" the officer interrupted.
 
"From what I remember," Bubba said, "I stood up and said, 'Sure, I'm game.'"

Today’s Funny Things Kids Say:

 

Every Sunday, without fail Joe took his niece and nephew to church. After church he would stop at the bakery across the street for hard rolls and then cook a nice breakfast at home for the entire family. One Sunday Joe's mother, who lived with them, was very ill and Joe was afraid to leave her alone for even the hour or so. Therefore he dropped the kids off at church leaving strict instructions that Brian, 3, was to mind his older sister Pamela, 7, and not leave the church until Joe came back for them. When Joe returned, Pamela was furious. She said she would NEVER go to church with Brian again! Pamela explained, "Everyone was quiet as the priest was preparing communion and suddenly Brian started singing ~Tiny bubbles, in the wine, makes ya feel happy, makes ya feel fine.'" Pamela said when she told Brian to be quiet he just started singing louder! Joe wrote, "The Sunday night before, the legendary Hawaiian singer Don Ho was on the Ed Sullivan Show and I guess he made quite an impression on Brian." - Uncle Joe Stanford of New Haven, Connecticut

Today’s Inspiration (My Child, You're Not Damaged Goods)
 
Damaged goods, My child, you're not
Just in case you have forgot
I made you, just as you are
To Me, you are My shining star
I love you child, you are Mine
You are the branch, I am the Vine
Though challenged may your body be
Know that you are loved by Me
Though man may spurn you, turn away
By your side I'll always stay
Broken body, battered soul
I alone can make you whole
Ask and I will come to you
I will help and guide you through
In My arms, you are secure
Day by day, I'll help you endure
When you hurt, know I hurt too
See I am here, to see you through
You are My precious, betrothed bride
So come to Me and in Me hide
Just in case you've ever forgot
Precious child, damaged goods you're not

Today’s Bible Verse: Psalm 103:8

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger,
abounding in love.

Today’s Thought:

Christianity is a religion of paradoxes. The way up is down; the way to get is to give; the way to be first is to be last and the way to live is to die.
