Laugh Lines
Caption reads: “I don’t get it. I thought the jewelry would get me tons of dates.”
Proverbs 11:20 paints a picture. This is what it says:
A beautiful woman who has no sense is like a gold
ring in a pig’s nose. Proverbs 11:22 (NIrV)
Someone can seem quite attractive until you get close and realize that is all they think about. It is far better to have a beauty from the inside out, isn’t it? It seems like I’m stating the obvious but our celebrity culture sure doesn’t get it.
This morning, the comic strip, “Non Sequitur” by Wiley had a good take on the similar subject of celebrity worship.
Burning Anger
Caption reads: “I can’t stand your patience! It burns me up! Put up your dukes!”
Anger is a scary emotion because it has so much power and can get out of control before we know it. A patient man calms things down. Looks like the guy on the right is so determined to be angry that he is going to start his fight anyway. That’s what happens when you burn with anger.
Junkyard Dog
Caption reads: “A puppy! Can I keep you?”
When it comes to kids and pets, love is blind. You can have a mangy, mean animal that looks like it should have gone to that great pound in the sky and the kid thinks it is smarter than Lassie and more beautiful than anything at the Westminister Dog Show!
I’m just glad when it came to love, my wife was blind. It gave me a chance to win her heart before her eyes opened.
