SPONGE BILL

Footnote to yesterday’s story about Magic Grow sponge pellets: a reader remembers a freebie handed out to kids at a fair. It looked like a thick dollar bill and was the same size. You put it in water and it became a sponge that actually lasted quite awhile.

Move over, Sponge Bob: here’s the emblem of the welfare generation!

Prayer request: A friend’s friend, Alan, a physician, has been diagnosed with a difficult form of cancer that attacks the adrenal gland. He is going to fight it with unconventional methods. Lord, we pray that this trial will draw him and his loved ones closer to You and deepen their faith as he fights, and wins. Grant him healing, Father. And grant favor to my friend Linda, an amazing servant of Yours, who has agreed to babysit his son, who is autistic, for an unknown amount of time while he and his wife fight this battle. (1 Peter 4:10)
