The Day After the Day After Christmas

Do any of you still have Christmas presents to unwrap? How many of you have dogs and cats to help you?

Patty and I are officially Hanging Out today. This year was a right stinker and we need a rest! And it’s sunny out today, so I can have a cigar. I’m convinced that time in the sun is good for me. I’ve just had six weeks in a hospital bed without it.

This afternoon we’ll watch a movie, and it sounds like spaghetti and meat balls for supper.

And yes, we’re still open to hymn requests. At least till New Year’s.

We Need You, Teens!

Tips for Helping Teens Stay Sober | Guideposts

This may sound strange coming from some guy who reads The Dumbest Generation and thinks the colleges should be defunded, but I mean it–

We need more teenagers on this blog! Yes, I said more teenagers. No, I haven’t lost my mind.

We need your energy, your enthusiasm, your high spirits. We have a lot to teach–but what good’s that, if there’s no one around to teach it to? We need the way you come up with crazy ideas that turn out not to be so crazy, after all.

We need your fellowship, your humor, and your sense of fun.

Most of all, we need you to enter into our labors with us and carry on the work of proclaiming God’s word and trying to keep our country from going off the deep end. We aren’t going to be here forever. We’ll need you to take over for us.

And we do not charge a membership fee, so sign up today. Subscribe, follow, be a part of our community.

Let’s liven up this place.
