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.

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

A Stitch In Time

For those of you who have wondered if I have dropped off the face of the earth, I assure you that I am alive and kicking and never been so busy in my life!! Where do I start? A little over a month ago, I gave my bosses my letter of resignation effective August 31. I had decided with the advise of my father and wife to end my 8 year career as a sewing machine salesman and technician at the store in Bemidji. I was undecided as to what to pursue but felt led to wait on the Lord to make His path plain. After much discussion over possible careers and job opportunities, my father advised me to look at starting my own business and working from my home. I prayed about it with my wife and she heartily agreed that she would love to have me home more often and felt that this was the best thing we could do. Thus I have started my own company called, A Stitch In Time, Sewing Machine Repair. I will be working at home but since we live in the sticks and to far away for most people to drive, I have be
