A couple of things I’ve been intending to write here.\u00a0 First, granddaughter Ruth.\u00a0 At gymnastics she was given a bracelet with a word on it.\u00a0 She removed one cube with a particular \"6702011-01-15_0625\"letter and showed it to her mother.\u00a0 “Look, mommy, I got a bracelet with my name on it.”\u00a0 Sure enough the bracelet read Ruth.\u00a0 It was only later that her mom discovered it had been handed by a Christian woman to this Jewish young girl.\u00a0 The bracelet originally read, Truth.<\/p>\n

Another Ruth story.\u00a0 In a store with her mother, Jen, and Tennessee Grandmother, Barb, a clerk complimented Ruth on her color sense.\u00a0 “Oh,” Ruth said, “I’m an artist.”<\/p>\n

Something else I enjoy are authentic obituaries, where the usual formula of passing on, entering heaven, being received by Jesus or into God’s arms get replaced with something it’s obvious someone said.\u00a0\u00a0 A recent favorite from a 50-year old man, “Good-bye and bite me.”\u00a0 Says a lot.\u00a0 Good epitaph material.\u00a0 The classic for me was, “We thank Jesus for this fine Norwegian.”\u00a0 Another one this week, which I don’t remember all together, went, “He liked his Camels, his whiskey, and ?I think it was, his women.”\u00a0 Give me honesty or give me death.\u00a0 Or both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
