My love asked: Would a hot tub help painful knees? I respond: I don't know. Unpredictability is deeply imbedded in you. She smiled.

Our Potawatomi Zoo Adventure
Mary and I spent part of the day with grand kids at The Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend.
DALEKS ASSEMBLING! WHERE'S THE DOCTOR!?
Mary pointed & said THE DALEKS ARE ASSEMBLING! THE DOCTOR MUST BE NEAR! (During our 1st year of marriage, 2010 we watched all the episodes of 9th & 10th DOCTORS while I tried to educate her about the other 8. The education paid off!)
Religious Differences
My husband & I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God. I didn't. Unknown

Touch of Jesus
God's child changes slowly. The touch of Jesus changes us radically. Jesus, touch our lives.

Jewels
Your Word is amazing, Holy Father, filled with jewels, flowers, treasures, all precious Words!
Herding Cats
Mary and I very nervously accepted the job of babysitting my two grand sons for 7 days while Wendy goes to Ohio for job training.
All of my grand children are well behaved, delightful to be around socially, respectful, and obedient. Seriously.
With God's Divine Intervention and Revelation, my own begging the Lord like a Fuller Brush Salesman, my late wife Lynne's super natural mothering skills, I have raised two of best daughters this side of heaven, and they in turn have raised frighteningly godly, talented, and delightful children. I take no credit other than begging for God's help and making a deal that I would pastor any church, no matter how small, and work any job, no matter how hot, dirty, or stressful, if He would assist me in raising children that would obey Him. (Think LONG AND HARD before you do the same thing, and read carefully every chapter of The Gift Parables)!
The reason why I was nervous is not that my grand children would disobey me.
The reason I am nervous is Mathew invents things to do that are outside the box of safety rules faster than I can think through the consequences and devise guidelines.
Case in point: I was watching Mathew and his older cousin Zach, and had sent them into the bathroom to wash their hands. Mathew had come up with the idea of watching the toilet paper dissolve in a sink full of water. The normally reserved Zach thought the idea was intriguing. When I inspected the situation after leaving them for three minutes, the sink was full of water and an entire roll of toilet paper in a new viscous form, a toilet paper slush.
Mary and I have just finished our first day without any disasters, thanks to the grace of God. When we got home, I laid down for a three hour nap. I will go back to bed soon and dream fitfully of things that can go wrong in less than 30 seconds.
I did make up a new rule for Mathew. He is not to ask a second question until I have answered the first one.
While I was single, my deep love for children made me briefly consider the possibility of having more children with a younger wife. A one day session with Mathew and Zach sent me back to the dating website to quickly raise the age parameters a few years, which immediately brought Mary into my circle, for which I am eternally grateful.
Raising children is a job for the young, the brave, and the strong.

Good Day on Dr Who Fanpage
I had a good day on the Dr Who Fanatics Facebook fan page I'm a member of. Still.
I made a comment, and nobody responded with four letter words. No long time friends started arguing, and ended up blocking each other. The moderator didn't have to step in and tell everybody to COOL IT.
Notice I'm not posting a picture.
The last picture that I carelessly posted contained something not authentic to the Doctor and started a brooha with ALL the elements above. The Doctors fans are very passionate about authentic details.
Yep. I had a good day on the site.
