Just For Fun

Let's Play, This or That!

1. Phone call or text message?

Love to talk or prefer to type?’

2. Pancakes or waffles?

Sometimes the only thing that matters is breakfast!

3. City or countryside?

Urban or rustic living?

4. E-book or paperback?

What kind of reader are you?

5. Plane or train travel?

The great journey debate.

Have I ever mentioned the fact that my cell phone and I don't get along?  That's a story to tell, maybe I'll get around to it someday. :((

A pecan waffle from Waffle House is the best!

I'm really a country girl that lives in town.

I really prefer a hard cover, but that wasn't a choice.:((

When my cousin and I were in our teens we took the train from Houston to Dallas, just so happens we were in a car with a professional lady's baseball team, boy did we have fun!

I hope you'll play along and leave your answers in the comments!

It's hilarious how they put jokes on the back of Oreo packages.

Listen to this one... Serving Size: 2 cookies.

I finally figured out what is wrong with my brain, on the left side there’s nothing right, and on the right side there’s nothing left.

Micah 5:2-5

The Coming Messiah

2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,

Yet out of you shall come forth to Me

The One to be Ruler in Israel,

Whose goings forth are from of old,

From everlasting.”

3 Therefore He shall give them up,

Until the time that she who is in labor has given birth;

Then the remnant of His brethren

Shall return to the children of Israel.

4 And He shall stand and feed[b] His flock

In the strength of the Lord,

In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;

And they shall abide,

For now He shall be great

To the ends of the earth;

5 And this One shall be peace.

When the Assyrian comes into our land,

And when he treads in our palaces,

Then we will raise against him

Seven shepherds and eight princely men.

This verse from the book of Micah is a powerful prophecy about the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, in the town of Bethlehem. It is a reminder of God’s divine plan and promise to send a savior to bring peace and security to His people. This prophecy foretells not only the physical birthplace of Jesus but also the profound impact He will have on the world, establishing a reign of peace and security for those who believe in Him.

Have you ever thought about the significance of Jesus being born in Bethlehem according to this prophecy? It shows the meticulous planning of God and His faithfulness to fulfill His promises throughout history. The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem is a symbol of hope and salvation for all believers, bringing light into a dark world and offering eternal security to those who put their trust in Him. This verse serves as a reminder of the unwavering love and provision of God for His people, assuring us of His constant presence and ultimate victory over darkness and chaos.

Although I’m curious about how a pumpkin‑and‑chocolate pie might taste, I’m going with the one I already know I love — #2, the cinnamon apple cake with buttery icing and a hot cup of coffee. That just sounds wonderful. I enjoy both pumpkin and chocolate, but I don’t think I’ve ever had them together in one dessert, especially with an orange‑flavored icing. If I ever get the chance, I’d definitely give it a try.

How about you?

Luke 1:5-10

The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold

⁵ In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. ⁶ Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. ⁷ But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.

⁸ Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, ⁹ he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. ¹⁰ And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.

 

Ultimately, the account of Zechariah and Elizabeth serves as a poignant reminder of God’s faithfulness and the significance of unwavering faith in the midst of adversity. It encourages readers to trust in God’s timing, to remain steadfast in their devotion, and to hold onto hope, knowing that God sees and honors their faithfulness. The narrative of Zechariah and Elizabeth stands as a testament to the enduring truth that God is intimately involved in the lives of His people, bringing forth blessings and miracles in ways that surpass human understanding.

Christmas Around the House

We had some errands in Deer Park today, on the way home we passed by Gringo's and decided to stop and enjoy some Mexican food. It was nice to get out of the house for a while.  Later Tammy came for a short visit, it's always great to see her.

Mischievous Brothers

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous.

They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it.

 If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful

in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.

The clergyman agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the

mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to

see the clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger

boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?" The

boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there

wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the clergyman repeated the

question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?!" Again, the boy made

no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook

his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God?!" The boy

screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his

 closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him

 in the closet, he asked, "what happened?" The younger brother, gasping

for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time dude. GOD is missing,

and they think we did it!

Just for fun, I asked Phoebe,

How many ants would it take to lift an elephant?

Let’s do a bit of playful science and math.

Step 1: Average Weight of an Elephant

A typical adult African elephant weighs about 6,000 kilograms (around 13,200 pounds).

Step 2: How Much Weight Can an Ant Carry?

An average ant can carry 10 to 50 times its body weight. Let’s go with 20 times for this estimate.

An ant weighs about 5 milligrams (0.000005 kilograms), so it could lift around:

5 mg × 20 = 100 mg = 0.1 grams

Step 3: Total Lifting Power Needed

We need to lift 6,000,000 grams, and each ant can lift 0.1 grams, so:

6,000,000 ÷ 0.1 = 60,000,000 ants

🎉 Final Answer:

It would take around 60 million ants working together to lift an elephant — assuming perfect teamwork, no ant fatigue, and an incredibly polite elephant who holds still!

Of course, this is all theoretical. In real life, ants don't form lifting teams that big... yet! 😄

Happy Friday Everyone!

Let's Live On a Cloud!

 

Living on a Cloud

I live on a cloud, soft as a sigh,

Drifting through dreams in a marshmallow sky.

The sun pours tea, the stars hum tunes,

And I bounce with the breeze past sleepy moons.

No shoes required, just a giggle and grin—

Up here, the world’s where wonder begins.
