A Word from God’s Waiting Room

As many of you know, we here at Parkside have a birthday party each month.  Yesterday was the day.  The attendance was down for some unknown reason, in fact only two of about twelve who had birthdays during this month was in attendance.  Birthdays I guess don’t mean as much when you are our age. Several corsages went begging and lots of cake was left over. 

There is usually outside entertainment for our listening pleasure.  But not yesterday.  So, we had to entertain ourselves.  First we were presented with sheets of paper entitled Melody Nonsense.  On it were 25 scrambled song titles.  The object was to identify the song.  Here are a couple of examples:  Minescule colorless prevarications and Span across worried H2O.  I correctly figured 15 of them out and that resulted in a bag of chocolates as a prize! Got them figured out yet?  The answers appear at the bottom of this post.  Next, we played  Music Bingo.  We’d never heard of it.  Sheets of paper with typical bingo spaces, and in each square was the printed title of a song.  Music was then played; if you recognized the song and it was printed in a square on your paper, you put a button on the square.  We got through three games before time ran out; we knew the titles of several but unfortunately those weren’t on our page.   Neither Virginia nor I could claim a prize for this one. 

So much for the fun stuff we do here in God’s Waiting Room.  We just knew you would want to hear all about this birthday party!?!  God is good and we’re doing o.k.  We always enjoy hearing from our ‘lurkers.’ Lurkers are those who read this blog but do not write a comment .
