Gambling Gift Horses

Pam is part of a businesswomen's group in Fort Wayne. They call themselves 3W3, which basically says when they meet--the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 3:00.

Yesterday's meeting was a Christmas gift exchange. Each person brought a gift of around $20. Then they took turns drawing a gift, with the option of taking a gift somebody else had already opened. You've done this before.

Here's the gift Pam opened: lottery tickets.

Fortunately, somebody (who is probably a million dollars richer now) stole it from her. Instead, Pam brought home a stoneware pie dish.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
