I Can't Believe It!

Jayme gave us her assignment for today this past Monday. (three days ago because she thought it might be a topic we'd have to really think about--she was right) I've been thinking about it since then. I was even thinking about it this very morning. So tonight when I sat down to write my post for today, I checked out the other MVP blogs first. All I could think was, I Can't Believe It!! I completely forgot to do the assignment. You know....the mind is a terrible thing to lose!

The assignment was "wisdom". Hmmm, just a little too abstract for my taste, but I did have an idea that I was going to try. Too late now, though.

Anyway, I went to a friend's house this evening for dinner and games. The game was, much to my chagrin, Trivial Pursuit. I can't think of a game that I'm worse at, but they needed a 4th player and I warned them ahead of time that I was bad, bad, bad at this game--I felt kind of the way they all feel when I suggest playing Boggle. So it was a little pay back for them.

While we were playing I took a few photos, and luckily I got a couple of the Trivial Pursuit board. So even though it's a stretch, I'll use this image for my "wisdom" photo. I never really think of knowing a lot of trivia as being particularly "wise", but I guess it is in a way.

Bottom line: Scripture has the answer. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

A Game Revisited

When I was in Junior High School, I had two girlfriends (twins) whose mother played Mah Jong regularly with her friends. My girlfriends taught me how to play, and although I don't remember the first thing about the game, I do remember that we enjoyed it and spent many hours playing it together. (I have no remembrance of whether I was any good at it or not)

I was recently talking with my friend, Betty, and mentioned that little story to her. She asked her mother to send one of her games to her. She received the game in the mail, so in a couple of days we're going to teach ourselves how to play it.

Hmmmm, this should be interesting!

Posted (that blue font with the underline is random--not my intention--help~!! doesn't ANYONE know how to control this site???--okay, got the letters to go black, but the blue underline is still there, and now there's no underline. I'm confused.
