Well, I really thought I had started this issue earlier, but then I couldn’t find it, so I’m starting it again.  Or maybe I’m just getting old and confused.  Who knows.

So, let’s start this one either here or again, and who cares, right?

Today, for me is Sunday, 6 April.  I’m not really sure when this is going to be for you guys.  I think I’m at least a week ahead.  It’s got to be Easter week, so let’s throw some Easter stuff in there as well.  So, let’s get started, shall we?

Love math humor.

I told Izzy that I was going to give this to her as her new window sticker.

Now that they are retired, my mother and father are discussing all aspects of their future. “What will you do if I die before you do?” Dad asked Mom. 

After some thought, she said that she’d probably look for a house sharing situation with three other single or widowed women who might be a little younger than herself, since she is so active for her age. 

Then Mom asked Dad, “What will you do if I die first?” 

He replied, “Probably the same thing.”

No kidding.  Now there’s a tradition that probably could use a resurgence.  

That is so true.  And says so much more about the truth of things than anything else.

A fellow decided to decorate his bedroom. He wasn’t sure how many rolls of wallpaper he would need but he knew that the Irishman who lived next door had recently done the same job and the two rooms were identical in size. 

“Murphy,” he asked, “How many rolls of wallpaper did you buy for your bedroom?” 

“Ten” said Murphy.

So the fellow bought the ten rolls of paper and did the job. It looked wonderful, but he had 2 rolls of wallpaper left over. 

“Murphy,” he said. “I bought ten rolls of wallpaper for the bedroom, but I’ve got 2 left over!” 

“Dat’s funny,” said Murphy. “So did I.”

This is the coin that I carry in my pocket all the time.  It is my touchstone.  My “reach in my pocket and know my God is with me all the time.

And actually, I always carry two of them (and I always keep several of them in a drawer at home) so that I always have an extra one to give to someone who needs it.  The 23rd Psalm is my favorite passage for so many different reasons.  It promises so many different blessings.  One of these days I’ll write a real essay, or even maybe a book on this, but let me give you a very quick break down.

PSALM 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  If the Lord is my shepherd, than I am a sheep and sheep are some of the stupidest creatures ever created.  The shepherd does everything for them.  The only thing he doesn’t do is eat for them, but he has to lead them to food, protect them, gather them, keep them safe at night, EVERYTHING.  And the Lord does that for us…if we let Him, we will want for nothing.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.  Green pastures and still waters.  The most peaceful and perfect place for a sheep and for us.  Rest and relaxation, comfort in the protective arms of our Lord.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.  All of these things restores my soul by following Him.  Following God’s righteous path, keeps our souls safe.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:  for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  You know, the valley is not necessarily the bad place.  The valley is protected from the storms and the winds.  The good shepherd uses his rod and his staff to guide and protect his sheep, and Jesus tells us that He will always be beside us, so why should we ever fear anything?

And that’s just the first four verses, and just very, very minor interpretations of those verses.  What they mean to mean on the surface level.  You see what I mean about writing a real essay some day…or maybe something even longer.

Two men were discussing cars and one of them mentioned he had once owned a Rolls-Kinardly. 

“What is a Rolls-Kinardly?” his friend asked.

“That is a car that rolls down one hill and kin hardly get up the next.”

Really need to check for typos before they post those things.

My wife is scared of thunderstorms. The constant rattling of the windows is pretty frightening, but if I let her in now, she’ll just get everything wet.

That’s it my friends, until next time!
