Celibate and Sane: Warped Humour ©

Warped Humour ©

I think my sense of humour is contagious! My good friend Ana has been renting my spare room for just over 3 years, and in that time has developed a distinct leaning towards warped humour since she moved in. In addition, young JD's sense of humour is keenly centred on bad puns and looking at the odd side of life.

A good indication of this is how we all sometimes blurt out a similar kind of joke or comment during our conversations. We even see similar things in cloud formations, which definitely indicates some of synchronicity doesn't it?

I like to believe that this is a good thing, and all of the doctors in their white coats can't persuade me otherwise.

But it's still good to come up with comments or ideas that the other two haven't thought of yet. An example of this occurred today when I suggsted that the day after St Paddy's Day should possibly be called AA or Get Over Your Hangover Day.

Then again recently we were driving around in my car with our two dogs in the back seat. Suddenly our mini foxy Scout leapt to the window, eyes and ears forward, her attention focussed on something nearby. I realised why as we drove past the cemetary - she could sense the bones! ©

Personal Quotes from Vicki-S

"Occasionally I find my breakfast a little bitter, and sometimes it's difficult to chew and swallow; though at other times it's sweet, but it’s very satisfying and always sustains me. My most important meal of the day, is feasting on God’s Word and drinking up His presence."

I love me, because God loves me. It's not that God doesn't see my flaws, they are like blazing torches in His eyes, but rather that He sees past my imperfections and still loves me. And who am I to argue with the perfect God that I am worthwhile, that I am worthy of love, and that He accepts me and wants me to be His child, His beloved daughter? When I understood this, I began to accept and embrace His version and His vision of me, and not the world's.

"The silent treatment and sulking are simply two other weapons in the arsenal of the manipulator."

"Often people use the metaphor of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon to describe how we can grow from difficult experiences, but what they don't mention is the fact that at first we start off as an ugly caterpillar."

"We so often just get caught up in trying to just get through each day, that we forget to pause and be thankful for the fresh one that is presented anew and untouched each morning."

"Contrary to what we might think, forgiveness isn't so much about healing our relationship with that other person, but about healing our own broken heart."

"The purpose of school reunions is to show off how much you've achieved in life, to laugh at the once popular kids who've aged more quickly than you; and to wince at the guy who was a bully in school and who aptly became a policeman."

"I've found in many organisations where volunteers are needed, including the modern-day church, that 80% of its people sit back and let everyone else do most of the work, then there's the 10% who actually make the place run, and the remaining 10% just like to whinge about the 10% doing the work, especially about how they could do it better."

"When traced back to its source, every sin, every despicable act, and every war was motivated by someone's selfishness."

"I do not want to think of man, for that would distract me from God. But if I focus on God, I cannot help but think of my fellow man, and each day God keeps the scales balanced so that I have enough within me to do both."

"Overcoming depression isn’t about changing ones attitude, or just ‘getting on’ with things, it’s like removing one’s personal black shroud one thread at a time, with ones teeth.”
