The Latest Styles

I’ve been shopping recently. Roaming the aisles of all my favorite stores I realized that I might be crossing over into the you’re-too-old-for-that era of my life. True, I love many of the cute fashions that are in style today, but really at my age (not that old), with two kids, stretch marks and a few not so subtle pounds too many, I just don’t see how I could pull off some of those outfits.
No That’s Good

One of my favorite children’s books—a fun read for both parents and kids—is That’s Good, That’s Bad by Margery Cuyler.
The normal response to the things happening to the little boy main character is “Oh, that’s good!” A trip to the zoo. A red balloon. A timely happenstance. But the narrator explains at every point, “No, that’s bad!” Disaster follows on the heels of what seem like smile-worthy provisions.
Busy As Ants

“As boring as watching ants,” the saying goes. I believe the person who created this saying has never watched ants. Have you? They are fascinating.
I was weeding the other day and came across an ant bed. As I paused to watch them I was struck by how busy they were, each one doing their own thing, not caring what the other ants were up to. They seemed to be driven by a natural instinct to forge ahead no matter what obstacles were laid before them. To test this theory, I created a large log barrier in their path, and without missing a step they discovered ways around the obstacle. They continued in their pursuit of food and other things, which they dutifully carried into their home. God wants us to be more like ants, dutifully carrying out our jobs in spite of the obstacles that may come our way.

It had been a long day, and it was only half over with no promise of an easier second half. Like a football team starting the third quarter down by 30 points, no half-time locker room pep talk could make me more optimistic about what the afternoon might offer.
Kidnapped by GPS

Her name was Zelda. At least, I imagine her as a Zelda. Her voice sounded like one. She politely told the driver and his passengers what turn to take next, and how long until the next set of direction—even the estimated time of arrival.
