DailySusan Humor Blog

DailySusan resumes today after an unfortunate weekend mishap. Three hints: “clumsy oaf,” “hospitalization” and “narcotics are our friends.” I’m on the comeback trail now, feeling much better, and will tell the whole embarrassing story on Sunday.

A WISE ASSESSMENT

Over the weekend, Maddy, 5, got to go to Camp Snoopy, the wonderful indoor amusement park at Mall of America in the Twin Cities.

Her favorite was the log ride, which got her and her daddy wet approximately 4,000 times, a great memory for a Father’s Day spent out of town.

Maddy may grow up to be a tax auditor or government official, however. She is quite the sober-sided realist. Asked whether she would like to go on the roller coaster, she looked it over, and said:

“No. That could be a ‘frow-up’ situation.”

Prayer request: There’s a 13-year-old boy from Blair, Neb., who has had a stroke. He has partial paralysis on the right side and no speech. The 100% blockage of an artery in his head means that surgery is not an option at this time. The family must decide by Friday where to have him placed for long-term rehabilitation. They have asked for as much prayer cover as possible. Father God, this is not what summer is supposed to be for a boy of 13! This is not how parents are supposed to be feeling! Oh, Lord, have mercy, and show us all Your power and love with a healing and restoration that is clearly from You. We are destitute, Jesus, and You are our only hope: hear our prayers. (Psalm 102:17)
