Encountering A Talented Man

     A fellow riding a bus sees a man sitting on the day's newspaper. He inquires: "Are you reading the paper?

     The fellow replies, "As a matter of fact, I am." Whereupon he gets up, turns the page and sits down on it, again.

     Talk about being a smart....

A Question

For the Mathematically Minded

     If a ham sandwich is better than nothing, and nothing is better than life itself, does that mean that a ham sandwich is better than life itself?

On Top of Our Circumstances, Not Under

  One fellow sees a friend at the store.

 He greets him with, "How are you?"
The other fellow replies, "I'm okay, under the circumstances."
The first fellow asks, "What are you doing there?"

     Life is great, when we are on top of our circumstances. Replacing ineffective habits and behavior with new and better alternatives is the answer. (One Day At a Time, p. 280) We can't do this alone.  We don't have the emotional, spiritual and psychological distance to be honest about ourselves. It's terribly easy making rationalizations without even thinking about it.

    That's our nature.

    This is where the value of connecting with mature, emotionally healthy, discerning people is a real help. I like what Drs. Cloud and Townsend say in Safe People:

Welcome your needs. Make friends with them. They are God's way of freeing us from the sin of self-sufficiency. 

May you have a great and grateful day, is my prayer.  Such days are ours when we relate with Balcony People, bonding with them and applying principles on the cellular level, not just in our head.

    Healthy connections will never happen with cyber friends. They offer a psuedo sense of intimacy but it's artificial. My encouragement is for you to attend an Al-Anon Family Group meeting. You'll be glad you did.

Seating Soteriology

      I was at a wedding reception a while back, in the fellowship hall of the church where it happened.  It was packed.  I looked for a seat, none were available except for one near an attractive woman.

      I asked, "Is the chair next to you a Christian chair?
     She said, "I don't know what you mean?"
     "Is it saved?"
     "No, it's a pagan chair, it's not saved, you can have it," she replied with a smile.

      We had a great conversation after that.

Me and Plants.

     When I visited Yosemite a couple of weeks ago, my companion asked me if I knew what dogwood looked like, because we were passing it.

     I told her I wouldn't recognize it if it bit me.

The Value of Red Tennis Shoes

         Do you know why elephants wear red tennis shoes when they spend time in a strawberry patch?

         To hide from being seen.


         Have you ever seen an elephant in a strawberry patch?

         Those red tennis shoes work pretty well, don't they?

Making An Impact

If we both fell out of a tall building at the same time, who would hit the ground first?

 Yep, you.

I'd be writing notes on the building, all the way down.
