WELCOME
THE
LIGHTER SIDE
Howdy Folks! I just want to say that we Christians
don't go around with an old long, sad, serious face all the time...we like
to laugh and have fun too :)
! So, I have created a page (pages) here called "the lighter side"!
You'll find a variety of things here that I hope you will enjoy.

that we believe you will like.

A man asked his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?"
She said, "I'd love to be ten again."
On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and off they went to a theme park.
He put her on every ride in the park--the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear. Everything there was, she had a go.
She staggered out of the theme park five hours later, her head reeling and her stomach upside down.
Into McDonald's they went, where she was given a Double Big Mac with extra fries and a strawberry shake.
Then off to a theater to see Star Wars--more burgers, popcorn, cola and sweets.
At last she staggered home with her husband and collapsed into bed.
Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being ten again?"
One eye opened and
she groaned, "Actually I meant dress size."
