Luckily I am not alone, there are many children who giggle with me as well. Any who, I wanted to share one of my favorite blogs, and a particularly funny response to it.
John Acuff is a writer, his most recent book is Quitter. I really enjoyed this book. While I waited what seemed like forever (I pre-ordered it) for the release date. Somehow I had it in my head that it was going to be a step by step mechanized book on how to start your dream and quit your job. You know Chapter 1, Day 1 open book, close your eyes, realize dream....
But really it was a realistic view at not only finding your dream but also how to get there without sabotaging your life, which consequently not only ruins your dream, but also your day job. So I recommend that you read this book, it helps shine a light on your path... kind of like a flashlight, hey maybe it should be titled the flashlight book!

“I felt like there were two possible reasons to call your wife your bride. The first is that it’s biblical. Isn’t the church called “the bride of Christ?” It’s not called the “wife of Christ.” So using “bride” could be a throwback to the Bible. So maybe saying “bride” is like answering the question, “What Would Jesus Do?” He’d say bride. OK, I get that.”
The Bible also calls donkeys “asses,” but when I tell someone about the cute donkeys I pass every morning on the way to work (Yes, in Brentwood, TN) I don’t say, “Hey, make sure the next time you’re driving down Cloverland you check out the asses.”
It’s just not right.
