Psalm 109:8

My wife and I were in slow-moving traffic the other day and we were stopped behind a car that had an unusual Obama bumper sticker on it.

It read: "Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8."

When we got home my wife got out the Bible and opened it up to the scripture. She started laughing and laughing. Then she read  it to me. I couldn't believe what it said. I had a good laugh, too.

Psalm 109:8

"Let his days be few and brief; And let others step forward to replace him."

At last -- I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our President! Look it up -- it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN!!!!


Women's Midlife...Crisis or Wisdom?

Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care of our newly acquired mustache.

In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wing spans. We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels in drag.

Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear without turning around...

Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.

Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm, young lovely in a tube top and scream, 'Listen, honey, even the Roman empire fell and those will too!'

Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we're sitting on our biggest ones.

Mid-life is when you look at your know-it-all, cell phone carrying teenager and think, 'For this I have stretch marks?'

In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can retain is water.

Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally--more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin.

Mid-life means that you become more reflective. You start pondering the 'big' questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?

But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. We realize that breasts sag, hips expand, and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile.

Would any of you trade the knowledge that you have now, for the body you had way back when?

Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired.

That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!
