SEASONALLY SATISFYING

In gardening season, I happened on a tremendously satisfying new cuss word: “Bok choy!” It suited every occasion.

Now that it’s the dead of winter, though, I needed a new one. And here it came, courtesy of an old, old and I do mean old friend:

“H . . . E . . . Double Hockey Sticks!”

I think that’s where hockey players exhort each other to go when they’re engaged in those altercations and fisticuffs at the rink. Or something like that.

Praise report: We are thankful that President Bush had a peaceful, productive visit to Nebraska last night and today. We bless You, Father, for giving us a man of God as our leader. We’re thankful for his desire to fix the Social Security system in a way that won’t hurt our seniors today, nor the seniors of decades to come. Continue to give President Bush wisdom and grace, Lord. (Romans 13:1)

Prayer request: In reading the obituary, I was struck by Bob’s large family: the grandchildren whose names I knew from office parties when he’d recite what they were up to with pride and joy . . . the many brothers and sisters and spouses . . . I got a glimpse of his well-rounded life that went far beyond work. Oh, Lord, reward his faith in You and welcome this son of Yours into his heavenly home. Remind his loving family that there’ll be a place for them with him, too, if they only believe. (Matthew 6:13)
