Oh, my goodness. It’s Friday!

Have you had a great week? I hope so!

Over our way, we’ve been in a bit of a heat wave—again. But I won’t complain. After all, this is the Ozarks. And this time of year typically comes with heat, humidity, and skeeters. (And tennis season for our family—which means a lot of coming and going to and from matches and tournaments.)

Whew-wee! To tell you the truth, I’m worn out and ready for a breather. You may be, too.

So today I think a little feel-good is in order. Amen?

Well, friend, grab your favorite cuppa (or—here—have a sip of mine), and sample a virtual cookie.

Now. Let’s get to it!

Beloved actor Dean Jones passed away this week. How can that make us feel the love? Stay with me. I grew up watching many of his movies—Walt Disney classics. Later, our son’s favorite was The Ugly Dachshund. Read more about Jones here (via Guideposts) and how he eventually gave his life to Christ. I never knew this man had such a profound testimony.

Sometimes, we may wonder if God is listening. This beautiful post by Katie Ganshert puts it in perspective.

With a title like Underpants Encourage Reading, you might wonder how on earth can it be so? I came across this story via The Jefferson City Tribune and its poignancy resonated. It’s about Scholastic author Dav Pilkey and how he came to create his Captain Underpants book series. I’d heard of the books, but never the author’s story behind them. Read how incidents from Pilkey’s own childhood influenced his stories and his life mission.
