The Candle-Lighter Award and the Sunshine Award
Thank you very much to www.living4bliss.wordpress.com for presenting me with the Candle-Lighter Award and the Sunshine Award. I truly appreciate the recognition!
Both of these awards are for a blog or post that is positive and brings light into the world.
I started this “Good News” blog in July 2010 because I was tired of and disgusted by all the negative news and information. I wanted to give people positive news and information. I’m having a great time looking for, receiving, and posting these pieces! Stay tuned!!
RULES for the Candle-Lighter Award
Whenever you see a blog or post you think brightens the world, give the blogger the Candle-Lighter Award.
Recipients can accept or decline. What does the recipient have to do? Simply accept and nothing more! You can paste this image on your blog, if you wish, and you are done! If you wish to honor someone else with a Candle, pass it on, anytime and as many times and to as many people as you wish.
Come on and help me brighten up all our lives!

TODAY’S BLOG
It’s “Funny Friday!” My cousin, Marci Jones, sent me this one. I hope it will add another smile or laugh to the beginning of your weekend.
Old People (And Not-So-Old People, Too)
Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.
Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My wife, Diane, has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty.
I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I hadleft my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of all. “Honey,” I moaned. (I always call her “honey” in times like these.) “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”
There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard Diane’s voice. “Ken,” she sighed, “I dropped you off!” Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.” Diane retorted, “I will—as soon as I convince this policeman that I did not steal your car!”

I laughed at this one, but it so rings with truth.
I recently learned that it is easier to ask my students where my car is than to try to remember where I parked!!!
It’s all there, but as we get older, it gets harder to find among all of the other thoughts we have collected. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Have a great weekend. Say hello to Pap for me.
Good deal!! We can’t remember EVERYTHING!! Glad it made you laugh!!
