browniesThis morning around 11 am, my 12 year old son, Michael, and I stopped at a coffee shop so I could get some coffee. Michael came in with me and spied the Chocolate Oreo brownie.

I rarely splurge on treats like this, but since his brother and Dad were away on a scout camp trip, I decided I would pamper Michael a bit and get it for him.

When he was half done, I realized he hadn't even had breakfast yet!

I said "Michael, you need to take care of your body, and breakfast is included in that taking care of it. Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit."

After a very short pause, he replied: "But Mom, the Holy Spirit wasn't hungry this morning."

"Excused," the judge said.

woman 8I had always prided myself on being an "on time" person. One morning I overslept and rushed around getting ready for Sunday school. As I ran out the door, my husband tried to say something.

"What?" I called back. "Don't slow me down. I'm late."

"No you're not," he responded. "It's Saturday."
