A COOL, CRUEL JOKE

We were lunching, and my friend was talking about a former boss of hers who wasn’t very nice. She was a Canadian. Nothing against Canadians, my friend said, but frankly, she finds them to be rather cold.

Our other friend immediately said, “Well, Peter Jennings was Canadian. . . .” She paused for emphasis ‘til we completed her sentence and caught up with her macabre wit.

When it comes to humor, that was . . . Canada dry.

Prayer request: The Nebraska Family Council is holding its regular Prayer Walk Around the State Capitol tomorrow. Focus this time: the judiciary. They have asked people to pray that Nebraska’s Defense of Marriage Act will be upheld at the 8th Circuit Appeals Court and set a good precedent nationwide for similar marriage protection laws. We pray for the people preparing the legal briefs in the case, that they will be guided by the Holy Spirit in overwhelming logic and persuasive power. We also pray that Judge John Roberts will be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court because of his strong moral fiber and scrupulous application of the law. Lord, we pray overall that judges will be appointed who love truth and fear You according to the standards set forth in Exodus 8:21, I Kings 3:9, and Ezra 7:25. (Isaiah 1:26).
