Summer is in full swing, and before kids have to go back to school, I felt the need to take a vacation. I went online and found an itinerary that would tantalize and excite any traveler! Five different times receive 39 lashes. Three times get beaten with rods. Three times get shipwrecked. Spend a whole … Continue reading Vacation Plans
An atheist was helping his daughter who was learning to read. He thought he'd get two lessons in one by showing her what he believed. He wrote on a piece of paper, “God is nowhere.” He handed it to her and asked her to read it out loud. She was doing it slowing, sounding it … Continue reading Spelling
A man dies and meets St. Peter at the pearly gates. Peter tells him he has to get clearance before he's admitted. “What does that take?” the man asks. “You need at least 500 points to get in,” Peter tells him. “Well,” the man says, “I was a dedicated husband, father, and employee.

This coming Friday I will be in court as an expert witness in a case. I have done this in the past and it is never pleasant, no matter how prepared I am. It just puts you on edge. But I'll be okay. I just finished reading Bob Goff's book Love Does and was thrilled … Continue reading Live Palms Up
