Yes, I know that my subscribers received two notifications for today’s post, with the earlier notification entitled, “A Greater Surprise.” When I scheduled this post yesterday, I noticed that I had given it the title of “A Greater Surprise,” when it ought to have been entitled, “Ignite [followed by the date of publication]”. So I changed the title — YESTERDAY — but what a surprise to see that the version with the first title was published. So I unpublished the first version and re-published the one with the correct title. I didn’t think you’d get two notifications.
I’m certain you all were dying to know these details.
Who knew Death could be so funny.
The first one is my favorite.
Laughter always the best medicine! Even with death, perhaps. I remember funerals as highlights in my days of pastoring. People always so much more “real” in the face of their loss. I always tried to ask family and friends for some lighthearted memories and then included some of these in the services. Good to remember those times.
I, too, prefer making frothy desserts to being hit by a bus!
Thanks for the smile today.
