Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

Grandma Susan and I were invited out for a dinner cruise last night. Our friends live on a boat and took us out to a small nearby island where we then anchored and enjoyed a snack dinner of different crackers, cheese, and other yummy food. My favourite was a smoked gouda that I ate so much of that one might say I went charcuterie overboard!

Today's video share is an amazing encounter with blue whales. A lot of people would blubber if they were feeling blue, but blue whales actually feel pretty good when they blubber a lot!

I used to work for a large company, they often did special things for us to make work a little more enjoyable. Below are a string of memos we received over the course of just over 2 months:

Casual Day Memo No. 1: Effective immediately, the company is adopting Fridays as Casual Day so that employees may express their diversity.

Memo No. 2: Spandex and leather micro-miniskirts are not appropriate attire for Casual Day. Neither are string ties, rodeo belt buckles or moccasins.

Memo No. 3: Casual Day refers to dress only, not attitude. When planning Friday's wardrobe, remember image is a key to our success.

Memo No. 4: A seminar on how to dress for Casual Day will be held at 4 p.m., Friday in the cafeteria. Fashion show to follow. Attendance is mandatory.

Memo No. 5: As an outgrowth of Friday's seminar, a 14-member Casual Day Task Force has been appointed to prepare guidelines for proper dress.

Memo No. 6: The Casual Day Task Force has completed a 30-page manual. A copy of "Relaxing Dress Without Relaxing Company Standards" has been mailed to each employee. Please review the chapter "You Are What You Wear" and consult the "home casual" versus "business casual" checklist before leaving for work each Friday. If you have doubts about the appropriateness of an item of clothing, contact your CDTF representative before 7 a.m. on Friday.

Memo No. 7: Because of lack of participation, Casual Day has been discontinued, effective immediately.

Yesterday I was cooking dinner and my son came up to me and said, "Someday I'll work and help you with groceries, bills and house expenses..." My eyes started to tear up - my baby will be 32 next month!

Bill: It's my wife's birthday tomorrow. Last week I asked her what she wanted as a present.

Doug: So what did she ask for?

Bill: She said, "Oh, I don't know, just give me something with diamonds."

And so that's why I'm giving her a pack of playing cards.

I guess I must have been poking through the cards for an awful long time, lingering from one card to another, because the clerk in the Hallmark store came over and said, "Sir, is there a problem?"

"Yeah," I sighed, "I can't find one my wife will believe."

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.

- photo by Susan PageThe journey through grief can take you through a period of growing, stretching, and learning. God weaves together a beautiful tapestry of lessons to help us through our journey towards healing. Grief is not a straight line. The grief journey is filled with curves, bends, ruts, and revelations. Healing takes time.
