God According To Pooh
One Thursday before God had turned on the lights I was up. I had procrastinated a little in my message preparation.

What do women want to know? Everything! My parents usually call on Saturday and talk for about twenty minutes. Penny always asks, “What did they say?” I say, “Uh, uh, they said…they are coming in April.” Penny says, “You talked twenty minutes, surely they said more than that.” “Well, they sure did. They said, uh…” I can’t think of another thing. I tell her, “It was just insignificant stuff, small stuff. It didn’t matter, I can’t even remember.” She’ll give me a look and say,...
