Looks like we're going to Eldon for our usual Friday afternoon waste of $7.50. Where we try to roll a ball down a lane with a huge gaping gutter on either side. This setup along with a lack of talent is very conducive to a lot of unmentionable bad words. Personally, I allow very few to escape my lips but I can hardly control the quantity that pop into my head. Do you think it's necessary to ask God for forgiveness for bad words that come up in your mind if none of them include God's name.
24 years ago today was on a Wednesday and I didn't spend much more than $7.50 then but man, the happening of that day certainly created a tremendous daily cost ever since. I'm happy to say all the incurred costs have paid off. Sorry to say that the 24 years we've been rolling down our chosen lane even without the gaping gutters my lips have allowed some of those bowling alley words to escape but still not all that I've thought. My asking for forgiveness everyday has become a habit but along with that I include a heavy and meaningful thanks for all the blessings allocated to us.
Funny thing but I thought the man was telling us what he was going to say and what was expected of us and it wasn't until he said, "I now pronounce you man and wife", that I realized my error and the smile fell off my face. Wowee, we had been into the serious stuff!
