Oh look, Chicken Thursday - 19d260!

The days are getting shorter at Cybersalt World Headquarters. A couple of times this past week I walked to the edge of the hill next to us to watch the sunset: a nice break from working in my downstairs office. The Bible says there is no sun or moon in Heaven (Revelation 21:23, Revelation 22:5) which means sunsets and sunrises are things only for this life. I know I won't miss them in Heaven because there will surely be Someone  better who lights the place up (Jesus) but I am going to enjoy them while I have them just the same.

Today's video share shows a spectacular volcanic eruption. The thing that gets me is that anyone who lives near the camera that recorded this totally missed the good part because it took so long for the boom to get to them so they could look to see what had happened. I personally would find that to be a huge bummer!

While my friend was working as a receptionist for an eye surgeon, a very angry woman stormed up to her desk.

"Someone stole my wig while I was having surgery yesterday," she complained.

The doctor came out and tried to calm her down.

"I assure you that no one on my staff would have done such a thing," he said. "Why do you think it was taken here?"

"After the operation, I noticed the wig I was wearing was cheap-looking and ugly."

"I think" explained the surgeon gently, "that means your cataract operation was a success."

Incorrectly is the only word that, when spelled correctly, is still spelled incorrectly.

I threw a ball for my dog.

Extravagant, I know. But he looks amazing in a tuxedo.

"If you find yourself on a committee discussing the needs of a particular group of people, but you look around the room and don't see anyone from that group, you should be HIGHLY skeptical of any conclusions reached."

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, "Why did you just do that? That guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage -- frustration, anger, disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.

At least once a month The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and her daughter will spend a day visiting thrift stores in our community. I’m not sure, so don’t quote me, but I think there’s a 100-mile radius where they do their shopping.
