It’s a rainy Monday morning here in west Michigan.  We had nearly four inches of rain last week, and the grass has responded and grown like crazy.  Earlier this year, I went five weeks without mowing parts of the lawn.  Now it is all overgrown in just over a week.  A person could almost get lost in it already.

If you’re like me, you enjoy a bit of humor to start the week.  Especially on a gloomy gray day like today.  Here’s something from my e-mail diary.  Thanks to our friend and former pastor Theron.

Places I Have (and Have Not) Been

I have been in many places, but I’ve never been in Cahoots.
Apparently, you can’t go alone.
You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I’ve also never been in Cognito.
I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane.
They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there.
I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family, and work.

I would like to go to Conclusions,
but you have to jump, and I’m not too much on physical activity anymore.

I have also been in Doubt.
That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.

I’ve been in Flexible,
but only when it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes I’m in Capable,
and I go there more often as I’m getting older.

One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense!
It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart!
At my age I need all the stimulus I can get!
