A small boy was staring at the names on the wall of an old church when the pastor noticed him. “What are you looking at?” asked the clergyman. “All those names. Who are they?” the boy asked. The pastor nodded, and said, “They are the reason we have Memorial Day.

This morning when my dog and I stepped out of the house there were several rabbits all lined up in my front yard and they all jumped backward. For at least one moment I had something in common with all those bunnies…a receding hare-line!
This was the simple question that my lovely wife posed to me over dinner earlier tonight. Considering the general level of profundity that my wife regularly responds to my questions with I decided to put forth a Herculean effort to respond accordingly. I puzzled and puzzled until my puzzler was sore, then I puzzled some more. Than I had a Eureka moment!

We named her Xanax! Of course having a new puppy reminds of a dog I had growing up. He was a rescue dog that was missing a leg, so I named him Three. This made me wonder, what do you call a dog with no legs?
It doesn’t matter…. he’s not going to come anyway.

Sean: What are we going to do tonight Shan?

The title makes me feel like an over whelmed Shatner impersonator with long pauses between each word; however, we do have a lot going on! I’m speaking on Lent this coming Sunday at Kerr Presbyterian Church, my favorite nerd holiday, Pi Day, is March 14th, Tuesday night at Bible Study we are watching Risen, and Wednesday we are watching the newest Spider-Man movie.
