Today’s my birthday.

My favorite day of the year. Better than Christmas. Better than Easter. I’m a twin, so birthdays were always a gigantic affair … Princesses for a Day … which somehow seems to have caught on in my brain, extending into my overall way of being.

I think every parent should treat their kids like Kings and Queens and Princes and Princesses … because it makes a huge difference.

And on a larger, grander scale: to start today to treat everyone like royalty.

It’s a great way to go through life.

That’s Lori with the book and me in the background. That’s me in the second photo. And the rest of the photos, that’s me on the left, Lori on the right.

Bastiaan said: You still have that exact same expression that says “I’m not sure what’s going on here, let’s get to the core of this.”

LOL.

I’ll be filing this post under “Good for a laugh.”

I love the fruit pants.

hahahahaha.

A bad flood threatens to destroy a small town, and an evacuation is conducted. Most of the population leaves immediately. One man, however, is deeply devout and refuses to leave. When some of the townspeople encourage him to leave with them, he replies…”The Lord looks after me, he will protect me.”

And so the people left without him.

Hours later, the man is standing outside. The water is up to his waist. Some men paddle by in a canoe and invite him to join them.
The man replied “I do not need your help. The Lord looks after me, he will protect me.”
The men in the canoe leave.

Hours later, the water is up to the man’s neck. Some men come by in a motorboat, and offer their assistance to the man.
The man replied “I do not need your help. The Lord looks after me, he will protect me.”
The men in the boat leave.

The next day the man is sitting on his rooftop. The water level has risen drastically, and is almost touching the rooftop itself. A helicopter appears, and a ladder is thrown down. A man appears at the door with a megaphone and says “YOU MUST LEAVE NOW OR YOU WILL DROWN.”

The man replied “I do not need your help. The Lord looks after me, he will protect me.”
And so the helicopter leaves.

The man drowns that day.

As he appears before God, he says “Lord, I am not worthy to question you. But I have been devout to you my entire life. I have tried to live my life as good as I possibly could. Why did you abandon me? Why didn’t you save me?”

God replied “I sent you two boats and a chopper. What more did you want?”

haha. Good one.
