FRIDAY UNSCRIPTED

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:

-No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.

-When your mom is mad at your dad, don't let her brush your hair.

-You can't trust dogs to watch your food.

-Never hold a dust-buster and a cat at the same time.

-You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.


GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

-Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.

-Wrinkles don't hurt.

-Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts

-Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

-Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7

The world is full of opportunities behind closed doors, so start knocking.
John Maxwell

opportunity knocks but impulse just lets itself in
Roger Garrett

I tried for deep and meaningful and this is what I came up with... Sorry
So you might want to take some good from the first 2

THE HUSSY

This post is not intended to offend. You have been warned.

Roll mental camera...

I was about 9 when that hussy family member of mine got knocked up. Yes she went out and got frisky with every Tom that she could find I think. She was bound and determined.

She hung around the house the whole time she was pregnant mooching off of all of us. Expecting us to clean up after her, feed her and give her all the attention because she was the pregnant one.

After all of that care we gave her, she gave birth and then took off and we didn't see her for nearly a week. We got stuck bottle feeding and caring for her babies the whole time she was gone. (yes I said babies, plural)

When she finally came back she buckled down and took over the mom duties. Finally we could sleep. I was never so glad to see that hussy, also known as our cat.

Have you ever had those times when you are so happy to have something/someone back that you forget about all the negative stuff you were thinking while it/they were gone. I was that way about Konnect this summer. Not sure if I wanted to start it all over again etc. But now that we are back at it I have no idea why I thought that. I am having a great time.

When have you welcomed back something you were nashing?

Have you ever had a hussy cat?

THE DRIVE HOME

The road less traveled? Nope this one is about the road often traveled

Roll mental camera...

I was driving home last night as I always do. Next thing I know I am pulling into my housing addition.

My heart starting beating fast and I was a little panicked because I had no idea how I had gotten there. I must have spaced out the entire drive home. I seriously do not remember stopping for a red light, making a turn or following the speed limit.

For all I know I was abducted by aliens, probed in who knows what kinds of ways and returned to earth right outside of my addition.

Do you ever feel that way about your life. I can't remember many of the things that got me to where I am today. I am just glad they happened and I am where I am. So if aliens were involved then I guess I need to thank them.

Do you remember how you got to where you are or is it a blur?

Where are you?

Do you ever space out on the drive home and not remember it?

TIGHT SPACES

Tight spaces freak me out. I am not a fan, never have been, never will be.

Roll mental camera...

I used to spend some time out at my cousin's farm when I was a kid. No we did not go cow tipping. I am not sure that is even possible.

One time we were on a hike and found a big metal storm tube that ran underneath the road. My cousin wanted so badly to crawl through it to the other side. I could see the light from the other side so I figured it couldn't be that bad.

The tube/pipe was just big enough for me to crawl into but not big enough to turn around in. I started out fine but the farther I got into the tube the more freaked out I got. About half way through I was in full panic mode. I couldn't turn around and I didn't want to go any farther forward. CLAUSTROPHOBIA

I feel that way quite a bit about my faith. I can't and don't want to turn around and go back but going farther scares me as well. Where will it take me? What will I have to sacrifice? Will I lose all that comfort I have grown to like so much?

Are you stuck in the tube?

Does giving it all up for Him scare you?

Anyone else claustrophobic?

FRIDAY UNSCRIPTED

To close out this week I wanted to give you all some way to help out your friends in need.
So to all my friends out there I pledge...

When you are sad -- I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spider monkey jacked up on mountain dew.

When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much Worse it could be until you quit whining.

When you are confused -- I will use little words.

When you are sick -- Stay away from me until you are well Again. I don't want whatever you have.

When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy butt.

This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask; 'because you are my friend'. Friendship is like wetting your pants, everyone can see it, But only you can feel the true warmth...

WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE

So a swimmer from South Africa made it to the olympics and swam in the open water competition. Not necessarily a huge deal until you take into consideration she only has one leg.

I have fully functional limbs a whine when I have to take the stairs. Another day learning that the only thing holding me back from anything and everything is me. I need to put down the excuses and step away.

What is your excuse you need to step away from?
