Sunday greetings everyone.

Enjoy the rest of today's Digest.

We had our ten-year-old daughter late in life, long after our two boys were born. She is the joy of my husband's life, but he is self-conscious about being an older father. He likes to jokingly tell people that by the time she graduates from high school, he'll be in a nursing home.

One day she asked, "Mom, you know how Dad always says he'll be in a home when I graduate?"

I nodded, expecting some sad question about mortality.

She continued, "Can I have the car then?"

I pretended to be asleep and then I fell asleep. Now I'm going to pretend I'm skinny. I'll let you know if it works.

I can't believe someone broke into my house and stole all of my fruit.

I am peachless.

"You look tired."

I have kids. I'm pretty sure this is just my face now.

The youth director had been trying for months to get the little boy down the street to come to church to be with his third grade Sunday school class.

Finally after talking to the boy and his mother for what seemed to be the hundredth time the boy finally agreed to go this next Sunday, which he did and seemed to enjoy all of the proceedings except as the baptismal service began he ran out the back door and ran all the way home.

His mother asked him why he ran home instead of riding with the youth minister.

The little boy answered, "Its all a racket, They get you there and let you make all those nice things and tell you great stories just to get you relaxed so they can drown you at the end of one of the services." 

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.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

If you don't have any fun in life, what is the purpose? I know life is more than just having fun, but there is a place for fun in our daily lives.

Everyone has their idea of what fun is, and we don't always agree on that. Take, for example, The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage has an entirely different idea of fun than her husband.
