For my birthday, a friend gave me a book titled "What if God Wrote Your To-Do List?" by Jay Payleitner. It included 52 ways to make the most of every day. Not tough stuff to add on. Just common sense little thoughts.

One chapters was titled "Eat the Frog", encouraging us as readers to do the 'big' thing first. Not leaving it until later in the day - week - or even after.

"Reset the Car Radio". "Wait 24 Hours" "Quit One Thing". "Speak the Gospel".

One chapter reminds us to "Laugh". What laughter does for us. Plus how much more often children laugh than adults. "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." (Proverbs 17:22 ESV).

Then the writer added several jokes:

"A woman frantically calls the fire department to report a fire in her neighborhood. The dispatcher asks, 'Well, lady, how do we get there?' Confused, she replies, 'Don't you still have those big red trucks?''

"A mom sends a text to her son, 'Hi, Son. What do IDK, ILY, GTG, and TTYL mean?' " He texts back, 'I don't know. I love you. Got to go. Talk to you later.' The mom responds, 'It's okay. I thought you'd know. I'll ask your sister.'"

Have a good weekend!
