SCARLETT WITH A MULLET?

I told a friend of mine who’s the consummate Southern belle that I took Maddy and a little friend to ‘’FunFlex,’’ their pronunciation of ‘’FunPlex,’’ the local amusement park.

She instantly said that she would do anything -- ANYthing -- ‘’even put on a hoop skirt and crinolines again’’ – rather than spend all day putting two little hyperventilators on the cheesy little 4 mph circus train, the gator roller coaster, and the fake hot-air balloon ride that Maddy calls the ‘’Fairest Wheel.’’

Wait a minute -- a hoop skirt? Crinolines? Turns out she really did wear that kind of fancy regalia to the school dances, down South, ‘way back when.

It instantly brought to mind a fascinating change of scene for ‘’Gone With the Wind II: The Sequel.’’ Tara could be turned into a post-war amusement park! Scarlett O’Hara could have a mullet! Rhett Butler could have tattoos! Instead of the carpetbaggers ripping off all the beat-down landowners, they’d sell $3.50 hot dogs!

Come to think of it, FunFlex beat me to it on that last one. Oh, well. Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a _____. We had a ball anyway.

Prayer request: Yesterday’s prayer for a woman whose husband is embroiled in adultery brought advice from another woman, who’s been there. She said the best thing to do is to pray for spiritual rebirth and repentance for Michelle’s husband, and reconciliation of the marriage, and that the church would be pro-active in meeting the woman’s needs in the meantime. Lord, hear our prayer. (Malachi 2:16)
