A Web walk each day with Peggie through a home called Peggie’s Place! . . . .
OK – this one’s for the women – men, you’re permitted to eavesdrop! Men love to be waited on. Simon and Andrew, along with the Lord, arrive at the home of Simon’s mother-in-law. The poor lady was very ill–sounds like a virus to me. No penicillin, no flu shots, just lie in bed until it goes….. Oh, really? Not when Jesus the Master is around….We all know the end of the story. Jesus raised her from the bed, the fever gone, and she was so well that she was able to serve the hungry visitors
Just in time for dinner….the story is serious – and wonderful – but it sure hits my funny bone. The miracle was timed just right…..the men, along with the Lord, gratefully sat down to stuffed chicken breast, green bean casserole, fluffy mashed potatoes and a chocolate chiffon pie!
Men, we love you but sometimes you can be quite helpless…..and we wives, moms and even mother-in-laws are needed, sorely needed, when it’s dinner time. We know the Lord miraculously healed a very sick person – and that’s the real “meat” of the story, but isn’t it fun, gals, to think how MUCH those men needed a real, live, healthy woman to cook their meal?
God has a sense of humor – and He loves it when we do too! Believe it, receive it and have a God-filled, choco-covered day!
Prayer: “Lord, help me to see the humor in situations that aren’t really funny at all. Keep up my spirits when I’m down, heal me when I’m sick, and let me never lose the sense of humor You’ve given me, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Scripture: Mark 1:29-24

Diet Excuses
1. But the doughnut was calling my name.
2. I felt left out because they were eating.
3. But it was my birthday, so I had to eat the whole cake.
4. The kids overseas are starving, so naturally I have to clean my plate.
5. I had to get the bitter taste out of my mouth from eating the so- called dish, so I had an ice cream.
6. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
7. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are canceled out by the diet soda.
8. When you eat with someone else, calories don’t count if you don’t eat more than they do.
9. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER count, such as hot chocolate, brandy, toast and Sara Lee Cheesecake.
10. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
11. Movie related foods (Milk Duds, Buttered Popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one’s personal fuel.
12. Cookie pieces contain no fat – the process of breaking causes fat leakage. Exception: Cookies sold by TEXAS D’LITES distributors. Great “Meal Replacement” with little or no FAT content, low in calories, lots of fiber, protein, and other nutritional ingredients.
13. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples are peanut butter on a knife making a sandwich and ice cream on a spoon making a sundae.
14. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. Examples are: spinach and pistachio ice cream; mushrooms and white chocolate. NOTE: Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for any other food color.
15. Foods that are frozen have no calories because calories are units of heat. Examples are ice cream, frozen pies, and Popsicles.
