REPAINT
There was a painter by the name of Bob, who was very interested in
making a penny where he could, so he often would thin his paint to
make it go further.
As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but
eventually the Church decided to do a big restoration job that
involved the painting of one of its biggest churches. Bob put in a
bid, and because his price was so low, he got the job.
He went about erecting the trestles and setting up the planks,
and buying the paint and, yes, thinning it down with the
turpentine.
Bob was up on the scaffolding, painting away with the job
nearly completed, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of
thunder, and the sky opened. The torrential rain washed the
thinned paint off the church and knocked Bob off the scaffold and
on to the lawn, among the gravestones, surrounded by telltale
puddles of the thinned and useless paint.
Bob was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty,
so he got on his knees and cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me! What
should I do?"
And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke...
"Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!" |
Elections were held today in spite of the fact that many people
were absent attending the benefit golf tourney for Lakeland
Public Television at the Legacy. Tami Webb was in charge and she
chose a very cute way to present the thoughts of those who were
not able to be there. She picked out appropriate stuffed
animals, put the candidate’s badge on the animal and then
appointed stand-ins to read their speeches. Jim Potvin was an
amusing Dave Clausen who ran for third vice president. Dave’s
speech talked about giving things back to the community and made
a couple of references to Hopper, a man Dave would like to use
as a role model in Sertoma. Fas 829-7761 Bruce Heilman. Lori
Abear Anderson stood in for Diane Rook Johnson who was
technically unopposed for the treasurer spot. Rita Johnson gave
her own speech and was on the ballot as treasurer-elect. An of
course, the sex kitten Mike Howard gave the speech that Hawk
Hawkinson would have given if he hadn’t been playing golf with
Dave Clausen. Dave got the nod from the club to assume the
duties of Third VP. Kim Hauglie will not be able to be next
year’s secretary due to a job change and a move,. Instead Kevin
Goedker tried his best to convince us that he didn’t have any
qualities that would make him a good leader in Sertoma but since
he was unopposed, the job was his to command. The club is still
looking for a secretary elect and a few people thought Joyce
Seymour made a good candidate because they made her their
write-in vote. 
his little charmer is the new baby in the Ty and Erika
Eigner family. Peter J. checked in at 8 lbs. 15 oz. And already
looks like a hockey star. Congrats to the new parents. Fas
