Many of you enjoyed the post with the picture of the praying boy and dog. I received a number of suggestions for captions in the comments section and by e-mail. My decision was influenced by the fact that I have been on the planet for 62 years and have been yelled at for 60 of those years about putting the seat up! I have also owned more dogs than I can remember who took advantage of the situation when I forgot. That’s why I chose this caption and that’s why I never let dogs lick me.

The winning caption is:

In the last few weeks I have done several television and radio interviews that seemed like prime opportunities to promote Ken Davis Productions and the programs that we provide. All of them were positive experiences, but each of them taught me new valuable lessons about these short and important opportunities.

You are looking at a picture of one of my biggest pet peeves! A pad of frozen butter served on top of a piece of warm bread they call “toast?”

No restaurant names here, but there are a lot of rocking chairs nearby.

Unless you are willing to wait until spring for the butter to melt, any attempt to combine these items into an edible entity will be futile. The best you can hope for is a completely shredded piece of bread and a still frozen pad of butter with only a few pathetic remnants of bread clinging to it. Yummy.

Made me think of the scripture that says, “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Colossians 4:6

I’m afraid my interaction with people, especially if there is conflict, often lacks the element of grace; kind of like frozen butter on toast.

Just wondered if I am the only one.

I beg you to watch this youtube clip featured on the blog of my friend Wes Roberts. Ask yourself three questions.

Why was the audience so incredibly rude in the beginning?
Why were the Judges surprised that this woman could sing?
What was YOUR wake up call as you watched?

Now read the story of this woman’s life.

About a month ago I posted this picture and promised to send the person who commented with the best caption a copy of my video, “Together for the first time.” Thank you for your responses. There are some very creative, funny and crazy people out there. I want you to choose the best caption. Click here to see the post and read the comments. Decide which caption you like the best and put the name of the person who posted it (names are just below the comment) in the comments section of this blog. Winner will be announced next week.

I laughed again looking at the picture. That is one earnest dog!
