HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY? (written by kids)

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

-No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10 


2. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.

3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED? 
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.

Both don't want any more kids. 
-- Lori, age 8 


5. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

-On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.

Another Beautiful Day at the Park!!

Yesterday was a busy day -- I posted for Our World then had an MRI at the local hospital  -- isn't it fun getting old????? Then I realized I needed groceries if I was planning on eating anytime soon!! So I went shopping!! Consequently, I'm taking you back to the park with me today!  These old trees with the really "knotty/knobby" trunks are amazing and comforting, too, my old joints aren't alone!!  Anyway, I hope you enjoy these and I'll get it all back together soon!!

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.
