"Mom, shut-up's not a bad word." My son blurted out this afternoon.
"Yes it is." I reminded him.
"No, that and ass are not bad words." He matter-of-factly informed me.
"Yes they are!" I assured him. "And if you use those words again, I'm putting soap in your mouth!" I threatened.
Silence. For almost a second.
"If I spell them their not bad words." He told me.
I won the glaring game and the subject was changed.

Those Were Some Clouds Yesterday
My son and I went to Target yesterday before dinner, around 4:30 ish. It was a hot, sunny day. We spent about an hour in there and when we came out, it was pitch black. The clouds were not only dark, but low. There was an eerie feeling in the air and I thought for sure a tornado was going to throw itself down any minute and swirl us into Oz. Needless to say, I was a little freaked out.
We got in the car before the rain slammed us and our packages, and I begin to drive home. The clouds were remaining to have me in complete awe as I don't ever remember seeing something this strange before. So, as a good Christian woman I started to pray, "Please Jesus, spare us from the devastion that a tornado will bring. . ."
While stopped at one of the many traffic lights that I endure on my little trip home, all of a sudden I envisioned Jesus stepping out of those clouds. "Yep." I thought to myself. "This is the type of sky that I read about in the Bible. . "
With the vision of Jesus coming through those clouds, I have to admit, it just added more panic to my already apparent psychosis.
The light changed green, and it started to drizzle.
Still thinking about Jesus coming through the clouds, all of a sudden an indescribable peace come over me.
At the next stop light, I looked up at the sky and just smiled, knowing that everything was okay, even me.

Kidisms
"Mom, it's hot all over the earth now, summertime." My son matter-of-factly informed me.
"It is?" I asked.
"Yeah." He paused. "I think." He added.
"I think it's something we could look up on the internet tomorrow." I kissed his forehead. "Now go to sleep."
The next morning:
"Good morning!" I happily expressed when I saw his squinty eyes and messed up hair.
"Mom, it's morning here, but in other parts of the earth it's night time." He told me.
"Wow!" I said. "Do you ever stop thinking?" I asked, giggling and walking to the computer.
"Well, you're right. It's mostly summer all over the earth now, and it's officially 8:00 p.m. in China. So, you're right about that too." I explained.
He just looked at me.
That's some camp he's going too. . . .

Had To Do It!
I had to post the laughing pieces because a friend of mine is suffering a bout of depression. Inasmuch as I am trying to get her to church, she won't have it. But I can't leave her alone and let her be depressed. So I gave her the address to this blog and I'm hoping and praying that she reads it, and from experience I have learned that one way to get myself out of a downer funk is laughter.
It's absolutely amazing how comic relief will change your mood, your mindset and your disposition about things.
So, not only did I blog here, but I've been goofing with my friend and making her laugh every chance I get.
I can't go into what I've been goofing on her about as this is my Christian page, (yes, we Christians do know how to be inappropriate at times. . .)
So, laugh. Stop being so uptight about things.
It'll do your heart good.

Laughing. . .
"So many tangles in life are ultimately hopeless that we have no appropriate sword other than laughter. ~Gordon W. Allport
What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. ~Yiddish Proverb
When people are laughing, they're generally not killing each other. ~Alan Alda
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. ~Kurt Vonnegut
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. ~Irish Proverb
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on. ~Bob Newhart
