In other news: You’ll never guess what just turned up in Kay Pruett’s yard. If you guessed an itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, turquoise greeny, stringy bikini, then you are exactly right. Now, is this a coincidence since Kay has been tending her yard in the sweltering July heat? Many do not think so. If you recall, that edgy apparel had gone missing many months ago, and no one could explain its absence. Some have suspected that it “expired” during the spring floods. Others have wondered if it had been abducted. Still, more poor souls guessed that a certain party had it hidden away for such a time as this. Although no one has actually witnessed the wandering wardrobe on any persons of interest, one person of interest who shall remain anonymous is the most likely possessor of said awful attire due to an aggravating factor. After all, it is hot! And yard work must be done. You may draw your own conclusions, but I know for a fact how “attached” one certain person was to those darned duds. I also know that my name may now be “mud” or worse, if you know K. P. That’s the way it is when your hometown is Pearl, and there’s no place like it!
This week’s Bible verse comes Proverbs 17:22—A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. ESV
