What Makes You Giggle?

My son has an apartment. He moved out several years ago. Like most sons, he grew to be taller than his mom and likes to have fun with that. 

He also has a contagious laugh. Seriously, he could get anyone to laugh. 

What is his inspiration? None other than his favorite comic book collection. He gave me permission to share this small representation:





Dear Calvin and Hobbs, 

You did what we thought and often still think. Too bad, we can't get away with the things you do.







Dear Pearls Before Swine, 

You remain my son's favorite. Why? 





Dear Dilbert,

You captured the true nature of my office setting more than you'll ever know! 


Dear Fox Trot,

You tell the secrets of the American family. Why is it funny when it happens to you?









Friend, What makes you giggle? Do you have a favorite comic series? Perhaps a comedy team like Three Stooges? Take a memory trip to your favorite one and enjoy a laugh today.

It's fun seeing your son's comic collection. My son collected all things Garfield...books, cards, stuffed Garfields, you name it. As for what makes me laugh, I'd have to say Carol Burnett. I never missed her shows. Saw her recently on TV and she's still hilarious.
Carol did have a keen sense of humor. Loved the signal she gave her mom at the end of each show. She was a talented comedian.

My children have drawn me into the technological version of humor. Now when I want (or need) a dose of humor, I visit a website that posts funny auto-corrections. I also love memes and teen quotes. These one-liners often have my family pegged, and when we share one after the other after the other, we're all in giggles.
Totally! My teen finds memes and laughs so hard. When she finally stops she shows them to us and starts laughing all over. Great times!

Hi, Mary!

Enjoyed viewing your son's comic book collection! I haven't looked at comic books recently, but have never seen any of these comic books - are they sold at magazine stands?

I'm not a comedic fan of current movies, or tv shows, & seldom watch a movie more than once - but, have watched Turner & Hooch, several times, because it makes me laugh. Children, & animals, make me laugh - also the humor of Liz Curtis Higgs, & Julie Lessman.

Today I welcome  Laura Frantz, a gracious lady showing the love of Christ with her smile. Enter to win Laura's  September 2013 release, Love's Awakening Scroll to the end of the post to see how to enter. I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. It’s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place.  In a nutshell… I’ve written stories – historical fiction only – since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didn’t

She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night.  I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. entitled When Tomorrow C

Mary here.     I asked Terri: how has God led  you on your writing journey? Here is what she said:   Dreams God Has for Me Thank you Mary for hosting me today. When America was attacked in September 2011, the world changed. I remember my heart hurt for those who had suffered and died. I thought how could my writing ever mean anything to anyone when there were more important issues going on in the world.  I had been writing and trying to publish for eight years at that point and was getting discouraged. I had begun to think maybe it was time to let the dream of publishing go.  A few weeks after 9/11 my women’s Bible study went for a weekend retreat to the beach. The theme of the retreat was Dream Big. Throughout the weekend I kept wondering what God would want me to dream
