Late's good.

Yes, I'm late again. This time the culprit was taxes. In light of my lateness, here is a little LATE humor to brighten your day.



Top Ten Excuses forBeing Late to Churchby R.C. Sproul Jr.

10. I started reading ETC on the potty and I just lost track of the time.
9. I couldn't hear my "Resounding Trumpet" clock alarm because I was up all night reading Left Behind.
8. I was listening to Harold Camping on the radio and he ran late.
7. I drove all the way here at 5 miles per hour so my car wouldn't do much damage in the event of the rapture.
6. The service ran late last week, so I figured you owed me a few minutes.
5. I stopped at Barnes & Noble to pick up Joey Pipa's book on the Sabbath.
4. The dog ate my wife's head covering.
3. Why are you bothering me about this? I have peace in my spirit about it.
2. The alarm didn't go off because we turn off the electricity at midnight. We don't want to encourage the heathens at the electric company to break the Sabbath.
1. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to gather up all the eggs my chickens laid.

OK. Onto our feature book for this week. When I was a little girl, my mother's pocketbook held a tremendous amount of intrigue. I just loved to go through it and see what treasures I could find to play with. The Big Green Pocketbook by Candice is a story about a little girl who goes on a trip into town with her mother, carrying an empty, big, green pocketbook. Along the way she collects pieces of her day to put inside, inventing stories for each treasure. Cheerful illustrations line the pages of this adventurous book! Sure to be a favorite! Softcover · 32 pgs. · Ages 4-8.
