A Daily Dose of Rib-Splitting Fun and Body-building Faith at Peggie's Place!
Wednesday, June 27, 2001
"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad... (Psalm 118:24)."
Have you got a funny bone or two? Can fun connect with faith? You'd better believe it...."Funny Bone Faith" sees humor--AND faith--in the tough times and with God's help, smiles through tears as it triumphs in a Lord who brings joy and laughter to our lives--daily! Enjoy the fun and inspiration--and strengthen YOUR "Funny Bone Faith" right here--today!
Please note: Humor pieces are meant to be funny - no offense is meant with regard to age, sex, race, religion, occupation or any other topic. It is simply a way of laughing at ourselves; please do not take the humor personal or offensive.
"...building up yourselves on your most holy faith... (Jude 20)."
The Prodigal Son Parable in "F"
Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his fond father
to fork over the family finances. He flew far to foreign fields and frittered
his fortune feasting fabulously with faithless friends. Finally facing famine
and fleeced by his fellows in folly, he found himself a feed-flinger in a
filthy farmyard. Fairly famished he fain would have filled his frame with the
foraged foods of the fodder fragments left by the filthy farmyard creatures.
'Fooey', he said, 'My father's flunkies fare far fancier,' the frazzled
fugitive found feverishly, frankly facing facts. Frustrated by failure and
filled with foreboding he forthwith fled to his family. Falling at his
father's feet, he floundered forlornly. 'Father, I have flunked and
fruitlessly forfeited family favour.'
But the faithful father, forestalling further flinching frantically flagged
the flunkies. 'Fetch forth the finest fatling and fix a feast.' But the
fugitive's fault-finding frater frowned on the fickle forgiveness of the
former folderol. His fury flashed.
But fussing was futile, for the far-sighted father figured, such filial
fidelity is fine, but what forbids fervent festivity? The fugitive is found!
"Unfurl the flags, with fanfares flaring! Let fun and frolic freely flow!"
"Former failure is forgotten, folly is forsaken! And forgiveness forms the
foundation for future fortitude."
The key to understanding the problem is focusing on the
right information. If we assume it is critical to keep
track of the number of people getting on and off the
bus, we focus on information that turns out to be
unessential.
It distracts us from the important information. The
answer to the problem is found in the first sentence:
YOU are driving the bus, so the color is of course the
color of YOUR eyes.
If you didn't get it right, don't worry, the majority
of people don't answer correctly. If you got it right...
... you have exceptional problem solving skills!
Remember, this is a "little brain" teaser. If you missed
it, it doesn't mean you have a "little brain."
Thanks for coming! God bless--and see you tomorrow!
Remember, there's nothing that can happen today that you and your Lord together cannot handle!
