Today is Friday, January 26th, 2018; Karen's Korner #3722

A friend gave me the book "A Stand-up Comic Sits Down with Jesus" by Rich Praytor. Each chapter has something funny (either his thoughts or someone else's), a Bible verse, an inspirational thought, and a prayer.

I read chapter 39 last night. The title is "The Rules----This Time By Men"; there are 26 of them. I am including ten of them; some of them made me smile -- others made me laugh. Remember that I have a twisted sense of humor


* if something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways make you sad or angry, we meant the other one;

* whenever possible, please say what you have to say during commercials;

* ALL men see in only 16 colors, like a Windows default setting. Peach is a fruit; pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is;

* when we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear if fine. Really.

* anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after seven days.

* I'm in shape. Round is a shape.

* shopping is not a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

* most guys own three pairs of shoes---tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of 30, would look good with your dress?

* we are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

* if you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

*

HIS PRAYER:

"Father, give me the grace to accept the ways in which other people are different from me.

I pray I would embrace the differences I have with my spouse and learn to accept them as he/she accepts mine.

Thank You, God, for differences and the joy they bring.

Amen."
