The HMO account manager noticed that nearly every bill from a certain pediatrician’s office included the line item “Behavior modification reinforcers.”

“Lollipops,” was the reply.
"God's grace is ever cascading over the waterfall of the present from the inexhaustible river of grace coming to us from the future into the ever-increasing reservoir of grace in the past."

A former roommate baked a coffee cake and asked me to sample it.

Quite a buzzzzzzzz from that cake.
