Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Plenty of Pretty Good Jokes - Garrison Keillor. I found this at my online library, I don't really remember a lot of jokes but everyone loves hearing them so I got this thinking maybe I would intentionally remember some. Anyway, I thought rather than reviewing these jokes I would just start a segment called 'Things that made me laugh.'. Here's the first installment. Things that made me laugh. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Things that made me laugh - Garrison Keillor pt2.

The Queen had come to open a new surgical clinic at the local hospital. The ceremony finishing slightly early, she decided to visit some patients in other parts of the hospital. She walked into the next ward and went up to the first bed. "Why are you in hospital? The man looked at her and said, "My luve is like a red, red rose, that's newly sprung in June.". The lectern and ...

Book Gleaning: Father Fiction - Donald Miller
http://bookgleaning.blogspot.com/2013/09/father-fiction-donald-miller.html
Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Father Fiction - Donald Miller. I found this title at my online library. It was an experiment because I had not used this before. I went through about 100 of their books and placed on hold the ones that looked interesting. This book, however, was ready to borrow straight away along with a couple of others. I was surprised that he is not married with kids - I guess this is my presupposition of renowned and accepted authors. True to form (so I hear) Miller is very honest and ha...

Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Father Fiction. Things that made me think. 95% of prison inmates are men. 85% of these are from fatherless homes. I hadn't heard this stat before, I think the first stat is more shocking than the second. What makes men more corrupt than women? Is there some other reason for this stat? What are your thoughts? Things that made me think. Father Fiction - Donald Miller. I got the book just because of the author. I've heard a lot of people talking about 'Blue Like Jazz' as a g...

Finding quiet in the storm. I have to believe. →. Does God alter dreams? July 29, 2013. There are some holidays that are harder then others when battling infertility. Father’s day- this one has been hard only because the whole day I feel guilty. I feel guilty because all of our friends can give their husbands the joy of being a father, but not me. Brandon is such a trooper, he reminds me daily we are in this together and has never made me feel bad or alone in this. I am blessed. Why are holidays hard?

The salesman recommends the top of the line model. The Iowan is suitably impressed, and buys it. The next day he brings it back and says, "This chainsaw is defective. It would only cut down 1 tree and it took ALL DAY! The salesman takes the chainsaw, starts it up to see what's wrong, and the Iowan says, "What's that noise? All the surro...

Book Gleaning: June 2013
http://bookgleaning.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 30, 2013. Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card. I felt like I needed a bit of a change after the boredom of 'Creating a world without poverty' so I decided to read some fiction. Ender's game got some great reviews. And I like a bit of Sci-Fi so I thought I would give it a shot. I think the audio book was 14 hours long which I hadn't really thought about before starting but I was happy with this by the time I got into it. Ender turns out to be the cleverest person alive. There are quite a few thin...

Book Gleaning: Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer
http://bookgleaning.blogspot.com/2013/09/artemis-fowl-eoin-colfer.html
Tuesday, September 3, 2013. Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer. This one was a quick library visit pick up. I remember thinking 'Eoin Colfer is a pretty talented writer' after reading 'Plugged'. This being his famous book it should be even better. The only thing I was skeptical about was that it said recommended for 12-17 year-olds. Being slightly past this age group (my wife just chuckled as I wrote this) was this going to be a boring childish read? It did seem like the kind of book that would have many sequels...
