Animals Lower Blood Pressure

Hey!I was taking care of my friend's dog the other day, and it was so easy to chuckle and smile of some of her dog's antics- the way he marks so much territory, barks at random things, wags his tail like going outside is the most exciting thing in the world, loves to smell lots of stuff, etc. According to a news report, animals are supposed to lower people's blood pressure; I believe it.
=) Have a good one!

Art says the Funniest Thing

I was watching Art Linklater ( He is from that show "Kids Say the Darndest Things.") - the other day on CBN. He has been married for seventy plus years and is ninety - four years old.
He spoke of paddling the canoe with his bride to be under the moonlight. He got a bit nervous and said, "We ought to get married or something." She said, "We'll get married or nothing!"
I thought that was the funniest thing, and a good way for women to handle themselves with men in general. We need to guard our hearts and not sit idly if a guy tries to take advantage of us or treats us badly. Husbands are supposed to be forever! We women ought to be very careful and only consider marrying the good ones. Maybe if women did this, the men who act badly will act righteously. The reverse would likely happen as well.
Well, have a good day.

A College Riddle

This riddle was told on the first day of my economic class at St. Edward's University:

What is more powerful than God, rich people want it, and poor people have it?


Answer: Nothing! =)

Take Some Risks

So I drive the school bus and remind one of the chipper, kind middle school girls to sit as if she is wearing a seat belt. "Miss, you need to take some risks," she lets me know with all of her twelve years of knowledge.
I assure her I do take risks. I've traveled the west coast, stood my ground against people who some would consider scary, currently drive a school bus that can hold seventy-six children. I take risks!
"Yes," she says, "and you probably wear your seat belt."
Well, she has me there. I do wear my seat belt in moving vehicles, and when I drive the school bus, I even try to obey the law that says school buses are not to run yellow lights- much to the chagrin of the students who would like to get home quickly and or see me get a ticket.
Well the conversation kept going and the kindhearted, risk taking girl tells me that her mom can drive, talk on the cell phone, and put make up on all at the same time. I told the girl she ought to ask if her mom wants me to do that. Her mom later assured me she only puts on lipstick and surely does not want me to do all that at the same time. =) The end.

That's what my mom said!

Tonight I had a great night of prayer at a church in town. Toward the end of the gathering a girl asked for prayer and got some questions answered.
One of her questions was what to do about a friend who spoke badly about her. The other ladies counseling her said not to worry about what other people think.
I told her a story about a girl on the bus who had gotten easily upset. I told the girl on the bus to be calm, and then the people who were pressing her buttons would quit because they would see that she would not react. This girl on the bus asked what she should do if people were talking badly about her. I told her to prove them wrong by her actions, and then the other people would look badly for talking wrongly about her.
The girl at church told me excitedly, "That's what my mom said!" That made us all chuckle and made me feel good because I'm not a mom but still gave good advice. Apparently hearing it from her mom and someone else not quite as old as her mom made a big difference-the girl at church said so.
Well, the end. =)

House Insurance

My neighbor's house was robbed today. I guess I ought to call my house insurance so they can raise the rates.
Did anyone ever think they would read something like that? It's meant to be shockingly funny.
It reminds me of the time I was at church and the preacher was talking about a guy who made fun of God and a coconut dropped on his head and he was then dead. I let out a laugh and immediately clapped my hand over my mouth; the Bible says not to laugh at an enemies misfortune- I repented and quit quickly. I was the only one in church who let a laugh escape.
OK; well maybe tomorrow a more lighthearted funny story will be on this blog. Be blessed and know Jesus! He sets us free.

A Sneaky Catch

News reports have talked about thieves running away wearing shoes that have lights on them that show wear they run, and one story told of a cup that covered a robbers' nose and mouth so he fainted from lack of oxygen and the emergency and police came right away! There is justice!
Well this link is to a story where some thieves smiled for the camera and the camera phoned home! Check it out at http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN0643208620080606 . I found this story link at "Say What?" on the K-Love news page - http://klove.org/ .
Enjoy! =)
