laughter: vive les rois


("i am the king!" says honeyboy)


Susan Sparks [a trial attorney who became a Baptist minister]:

"I can't understand why people don't think God has a sense of humor, given 1 Kings 5:9, where the Lord strikes all the Philistines with hemorrhoids."

In "Trust Jesus and Elvis," [one of her sermons] she explains what Christians can learn from the King. "Elvis fans believe the King lives, baby--there are sightings every day, from a beach in Singapore to a Burger King in Detroit," Sparks says. "If only Christians had that kind of faith."

from "Does God Have a Sense of Humor?" by Jennifer Haupt Ode Magazine August 2009

HoneyBoy and Mijo got a rough start. After being here a week, HoneyBoy stopped eating. With kittens, downhill can happen really fast. We took them both to the doctor and found that they have a one-celled intestinal bug.

After five days on the antibiotics, HoneyBoy rallied. Mijo started to slide. I looked up the medication and found that a lot of Mijo's symptoms could be side effects of the medication. Hmm.

Is the bug winning? Is he experiencing die-off? Is he having medication side effects? The vet didn't want me to stop the medication. I trusted my intuition and that is exactly what I did. Today, he is better.

Tomorrow? I'm thinking better yet.
