So you STILL think God is a merciful God?!
July 22 - a note of explanation
I've tried to leave this post just as it was originally written because it was a heartfelt response after a very traumatic experience. But I'm sometimes clumsy with words and even when I think I am writing clearly, there is always the reader who doesn't know my heart or doesn't hear the words the way they were intended.
The Nail; A Joke From My Brother
One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy:
‘The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today,
So I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above where the cow’s stall is in
The barn. Please show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?’
The rancher leaves for the fields. After a while, the artificial
Insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door.
Amy takes him down to the barn. They walk along the row of cows, and when
Amy sees the nail, she tells him, ‘This is the one right here.’
The man, assuming he is dealing with an airhead blonde, asks, ‘Tell me
Lady, ’cause I’m dying to know how would YOU know that this is the right
Cow to be bred?’
‘That’s simple,” she said. “by the nail that’s over its stall,’ she
Explains very confidently.
Laughing rudely at her, the man says, ‘And what, pray tell, is the nail
For?’
The blonde turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, ‘I guess
it’s to hang your pants on.’
( It’s nice to see a blonde winning once in a while.)
Being Poor; Via Mom
Being Poor
She had her first family planning lesson at school.
Her mother, very interested, asks;” How did it go?”"I died of shame!” She answers!
“Sissy from over the road, says that the stork brings babies.
Her mother answers laughingly “But that’s no reason to be ashamed?”
“No, but I can’t tell them that we were so poor that daddy had to make me himself!”
