In order to keep the boys minds sharp during the summer vacation from school, as well as to keep them from being bored, my wife gave them a writing exercise this morning.

A couple of days ago, I received a phone call from a man I could hardly understand. I asked that he email his request so I could study it. Here is what I received:

Dear Rev.Bryant ,

It was hotter in Houston when I stepped off the plane at 1 AM Monday morning than it had been at the 1 PM outdoor wedding that I officiated in Camarillo California Sunday afternoon.

Over a period of years, maybe beginning in the mid-1990s, Jo and I did not spend as much time reading books about parenting as we had previous the decade or two.

In Genesis chapter 18 we have an account of a visit God made to Abraham by the Oaks of Mamre.

When we found ourselves raising two little boys, we came to a place when we knew they needed a dog at about the same time the hurricanes along the Gulf Coast made a lot of dogs homeless.

This is the favorite joke I heard at the Get Motivated seminar on Monday. I believe Rudy Giuliani was talking about integrity when he told the story.

I just read a book called, The Filthy Thirteen, about the WW2 paratroopers that were loosely portrayed in the movie, The Dirty Dozen.

We had a great day today, a bunch of us from the congregation went to a seminar called Get Motivated.

The post below was first posted on another site years ago. It was part of a writing challenge.
