Oh look, Chicken Thursday - and welcome to October!

As suspected, Grandma Cybersalt and I had a great time at Church Camp over the weekend. I came down with a bug on the way home (and I am a bit fevered still) but we have so many good memories. One of my favorite ones was encountering a couple of Roosevelt Elk while out on a walk looking for them. The picture here is a frame I pulled out of some video I shot.

Today's video share is about a subway built for cats. Yes, you read that correctly.

On the first day of school, about mid-morning, the kindergarten teacher said, "If anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers."

A little voice from the back of the room asked, "How will that help?"

One of my friends told me I make people uncomfortable by violating their personal space.

It was a hurtful thing to say, and it ruined our bath.

Woman: My mother gave birth to her youngest in a stairwell.

Man: Really? A brother?

Woman: No. She's actually my step-sister.

I was playing 9 holes at Forest Park in St. Louis with my father, when I made an unbelievable shot that landed about three feet from the hole.

However, I hadn't noticed that there was a greenskeeper who was also about 3 feet from the hole. He jumped back, and I was as startled as he was.

Not sure what to do, I hit another ball, pretending not to know about the first one.

The greenskeeper didn't figure out who hit the ball that almost beaned him, and we moved quickly on to the next tee.

It wasn't the honest and courageous thing to do, but being just a kid was my excuse.

Now that I'm older and more mature, honest and courageous, I probably would act differently.

I'm not sure exactly how, but . . .

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.

Susan Page writes . . . . 

It was time for her daily constitutional. Her route was predictable, familiar, and close to home. There were not too many options during the pandemic. Even though she was in her happy place, observing God’s bountiful and majestic creation, she didn’t like that her walks had become a non-contact sport. It made life even more isolating. People would generally pass by on the other side when they approached each other.

On the evening in question, she was plugged in, listening to a podcast, and clipping along at a pretty good pace. Yet even then, she was aware of her surroundings because she usually had her camera handy to photograph something that caught her eye.
