Fun Fridays – March 1, 2024
Contracts can be confusing. Enjoy this wisdom from Chico and Groucho Marx (from their movie made in 1935; some things never change):
Fun Fridays – February 23, 2024
You can write today’s date as 2, 23, 24 … Two. Two three. Two Four. It’s almost like a countdown to a song, which brings me to today’s “fun.” This week, I was talking with a friend about a book title that describes so much of our Christian life.

Since many of you have been experiencing an extra dose of winter this month, I thought this video about the symmetry of the snowflake is fascinating. As you watch the video, consider the magnificence of God’s handiwork. Awe-inspiring. Worthy of worship.

Enjoy this Christmas Fun Friday guest post written by Frank Ball a number of years ago. Frank is a great friend to all writers, having mentored hundreds of them over the years. (Visit his personal website here.)
