Better than Caffeine

My Friend, Dianna, was transporting her sleepy grandkids to school one morning last week. As she was driving, she glanced down and saw a very large spider crawling up her leg. Gasping, she pulled off the road, jumped out of the car, and began an uncomplicated, panicked dance in an endeavor to disengage the unfortunate spider from her leg without actually touching it. As she proceeded in her unrehearsed endeavor, the grandchildren aroused from their sleepy boredom and their howls of laughter mingled with her shrieks of frightened determination.
The laughter stayed with them on their journey to school and I think that story was dispensed throughout the entire school like good medicine on a dreary day.

Solomon said that a merry heart does good like medicine.
I say that a merry heart is better than caffeine anyday.

Now that I am talking about Dianna, with her permission, of course, I will tell another story. This may have happened on the same day as the above story. Someone from church gave Dianna someone else's tithe check and Dianna put it in her pocket. A short time later, nature called, and a short time later, Dianna watched the check make its way down the toilet. There was nothing to do but to go and confess all to the giver.
Oh, the humiliations that accompany just plain living.
She does it with grace, though. She does it with grace.
