Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him, whether the heart is full or empty.

Things I Learned This Week …

January 27th, 2007 · 4 Comments

I figure any week where you haven’t learned something is truly a week wasted. Fortunately, this week has been a treasure trove of acquired wisdom — which I am duty-bound, of course, share with you.

So here’s this week’s lessons:

 ♦ Why men die younger

 ♦ Why women should always shop alone.

 ♦ Why displaying police sketches on TV can be … disturbing

 ♦ Why I may consider taking up archery (or at least take some lessons):


Replay video | Share video | Watch more videos

 

 ♦ The latest terrorist threat …

 ♦ Questions to ponder while wide awake at 2 am …

 ♦ And lastly, recreational activities I plan to skip …

    I love the slugicide, and the last video was scary. I wonder how long it took her to “calm” down!?

    I’m still trying to catch my breath from that last one, but I sure enjoyed the jokes! And I don’t think I’ll be taking my husband shopping with me!

    I wonder what that last suicide threat is called: lateral bungee-jumping? And am I the only one who noticed the guys were all on the ground on in the…whatever that was they were driving…and the girl was “cannonized”?

    I can answer one of your 2 a.m. questions:

    Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

    Because home-made bread doesn’t toast near so easily. If you toast home-made bread at the “burn to a horrible crisp” setting, it’s usually only very lightly toasted and needs a second round in the toaster. Generally speaking, the more sustenance the bread has, the harder it is to get it toasted.

    So it’s a confusing setting to those that eat pseudo-bread, but the rest of us are very appreciative for that degree of toasting, and often wish there was an even higher setting.

    Now you can sleep easy. ; )
