Cybersalt News

Oh look, Chicken Thursday.

Today's date is very lean in it's use of numbers - namely 0, 1, and 2. It is 21/01/2021. In military time, this evening at 21 seconds after 9:21pm it will be 21:21:21 21/01/2021!

Speaking of 21's, thanks to Cybersaltine Greg M. for pointing out that I was still using the year "2020" in the Cybersalt News title. It's not that I was trying to live in the past (even though January 2020 was a great month for me with a trip to Spain, Gibraltar, and Jersey.)

Rather, for the last 51 weeks of the each year, I start a new news item by making a copy of the previous Thursday or Sunday's article. That's 102 repeats, which form quite a habit to suddenly notice with all the busyness and changes that come with the first week of a new year.

And as any of us who have been nuns knows, some habits are very hard to get out of. I know that's a real groaner, so I'm going to 23 skiddoo!

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing.

“Low carb diets really go against the grain.”

"God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises, leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself."

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Part of my job as a 911 dispatcher is to interrogate callers who are in various states of panic so I can send the appropriate emergency equipment.

One day a woman called to say that a family member had fallen and needed to go to a hospital.

After finding out where she lived and assuring her that the paramedics would arrive shortly, I asked her, "Do you know what caused the fall?"

"No," the woman nervously replied. "What?"

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.
