MAGIC GROW

I’ve always wanted to invent something, and a $2.29 toy that Maddy got at the grocery store has given me an idea.

When you put a capsule of the “Magic Grow Safari Animals” into a glass of warm water, it transforms before your eyes from what looks like a pill, to all kinds of cute little sponge animals. She has a cheetah, a rhino, a monkey, an ostrich, and who knows what else. She’s had a lot of fun watching them unfold and grow.

So I got to thinking: why couldn’t I put a dollar bill into a Magic Grow capsule, and put it in a glass of warm water? I would have all kinds of fun watching it unfold and grow into, say, a $20 bill. Then I could do it over and over, having more and more fun.

Wouldn’t that be nice? It would be a lot less stressful than day-trading, too.

Praise report: What a great run the Nebraska Firestix had at softball nationals this week! They finished in the top 40 among 140 teams. The tournament ended for them this morning with a 2-1 loss on the Olympic fields to a great, great team from Miami. The Firestix actually overachieved, and did the best of the three teams from Nebraska, so I guess you could call them “state champs.” Thank You, Father, for being so faithful, and for blessing them and teaching them, through the adversities of the early season, that believing in yourself and your teammates, and sticking to a challenging training schedule, pays off with a precious, lifetime memory and the knowledge that you can hold your own in the big time. (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
