Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I had my first physiotherapy session yesterday — the start of getting full mobility back in my right arm. It's improving day by day, and the exercises themselves aren't hard, I just have to do them often. I'm sticking with it because that's what you do, even though I'm not naturally a detailed, finicky kind of guy. As if I needed one more thing in that category in my life.

Today's video share is something that I think I need in my backyard. I don't have nearly enough potatoes to fill it, but I'm sure I could find a bunch of other stuff to stash in there — and I think it would be pretty cool.

A man lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh theater. 

When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the man, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat."

The man groaned but didn't budge. The usher became impatient.

"Sir, if you don't get up from there, I'm going to have to call the manager."

Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher who turned and marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager.  In a few moments, both the usher and the manager returned and stood over the man.

Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move him, but with no success.

Finally, they summoned the police.

The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy, what's your name?"

"Sam," the man moaned.

"Where ya from, Sam?"

With pain in his voice Sam replied, "The balcony."

"Do not touch" must be one of the scariest things to read in braille.

Farmers can tell if their milk cows are flatulent by simply sniffing the dairy air.

The food in China can be a challenge for newcomers. One example is that chicken is often served "cleaver style," leaving the meat and bones chopped up together, making it difficult to eat.

Years ago, I went with a group of newcomers to a nice hotel to eat some hamburgers and normal Western food. One lady in our group, Marie, wanted to eat chicken without needing to spit out the bones, so she ordered "boneless chicken."

The waiter, whose English was quite good, could not imagine what Marie wanted. She was very insistent, saying, "I want boneless chicken. Chicken with no bones!"

After more confusion and more insisting, the waiter finally said he understood, wrote something down, and returned to the kitchen.

After about 15 minutes, our orders started coming out to the table.

Marie's food was the last to arrive, and when the poor waiter placed her dish in front of her, we all laughed out loud.

It was a plate of fried eggs.

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 . . . . 

As I quietly sit in my preferred spot, spending time in God’s Word and enjoying sweet fellowship with Him, snowflakes gently fall.

I am overwhelmed with both praise and lament. Praise for the beautiful blessings that have unexpectedly filtered into my life, surprising me with joy, and lament for those who are going through deep waters, things that can fracture our faith.
