The Kissing Conundrum

What to do?  Being married has lot’s of problems.  One of which is this, when you have a cold, do you still kiss your wife goodbye in the morning as you leave for work?  If you don’t, you never know if you’ll get in a fatal accident and never have kissed her goodbye!  On the other hand, if you kissed her, she might have a nasty cold for the funeral!!

Argh!!  What to do!!!!  Now I know why all single people smile all the time!

Just kiss her cheek. That's still good, and that's what we do whenever one of us has a cold.

Sharing colds is part of being married! In sickness and in health...oh, and misery loves company!

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I keep up with you and Aimee and I really enjoy reading about your family.

I'm glad to know other churches still practice feet washing! We had communion during the morning service on Easter and feet washing during the evening service. My pastor's wife washed my feet (and I washed hers) and it was such a wonderful blessing!

God bless you and your family!

We kiss on cheeks as well.

IRYC--My new book is basically a reprint of the original Ordinary Days. Five of the 30 chapters are different...so it's probably not worth buying the book just to read those 5 chapters!

Man, Japheth, did you die from that cold? I've been reading "The Kissing Conundrum" when I check your blog for weeks and weeks now! That's okay. I know you're a very, very busy husband, father, and business man. I hope you're doing okay.

Hah ha Aunt Jeanie

The kiss of death hasn't got me yet!!

It's just been crazy these days and not alot of time for posting. I actually got my first game of golf in for this year. So far, since we started having children, I have averaged once a year. It's the rare time that I still get for myself and Daddy and I thourghly enjoy it!!

I'm not even going to let Dick see your comment. He will be SOO jealous. He hasn't been golfing for years and he always enjoyed it so much. I'll have to see what I can do about that. If a father of five can still golf at least once a year, surely a grandfather of one (living with us) should be able to, right??

Our Love Story - Finale

If you are just entering this story, you may find it beneficial for your comprehension to read the first 3 parts. I will try to finish this for all you who just can’t wait for the end of the story when you already know the outcome!  :-) I warn you it’s long! I broke out in a cold sweat!! “Ah, this is Japheth Stauffer from Blackduck MN, and I would like to talk to you about what has been happening this past week.  You see, ………” (laughing) ”I told Aimee that she should give me a list of those guys that are acceptable and who isn’t before she leaves.  That’s why I almost said, ‘Let me see if your on the list!’” (I had known prior to the call that I was not the first to ask for Aimee’s friendship!) We talked for about 15 minutes and I shared my heart and its desire to be a support to Aimee and the love that I had for her.  I also shared that if he gave his blessing and I won her heart, I would marry her and not defraud her by leading her on and then dropping her.  I asked if he could give

Our Love Story, Part 1

Well I’ve decided to take the time to put our love story into words. WRITTEN! A friend, Glen, over at Random Pitches, told me to that I am allowed to do it in installments and since I have his permission, and not 2-3 hours to type it out in one shot, you get the first one now and the next, well… when it’s published! J To start with, I am one of those weird guys that thinks it is right and proper to ask a girls father first before making any intentions known to her. After all, he is her protector and God ordained, legal guardian. I believe very much in being under your God given authority so if in this story you wonder why I do some of these things, this is the reason. June, Second Week, 2000 For the last two years I had been building my house as the funds came in and as it neared completion, I began to get antsy about who was to live in it with me. Living in a small church with a youth group you could count on one hand, minus a few fingers, the number of gals close to my age, I di
