It's my fault, you know... it's all my fault that Hostess Twinkies are filing for bankruptcy. I have eaten only ONE in my whole life --and it was just a bite --and never ever purchased any. Ever. In my whole life. And, of course, the Twinkie that I bit was deep fried. Alongside the deep fried coke.... I'll do just about anything at least once at a county fair. And the serpent made me do it. And I realized it was wrong and spit it out....
It's a wonder (haha --pun intended) that Twinkies weren't put under the jurisdiction of controlled substances a long time ago --I mean, remember, there was a certain someone who said he murdered Harvey Milk and the Mayor of San Francisco because he ate too many of 'em. Twinkies, that is.
And, yes, I am probably a little giddy --working working working on packing the house AND keeping it neat for showings --two things which are mutually impossible --one of which happens in less than an hour... so I gotta get a move on here.
I suppose you have heard or done or participated in those certain word games with hymns --switching the words, making puns --school girl games --childish prattle... One game we played as silly kids took the words to any hymn and at the end of every phrase, giggled and said "between the sheets" in order to subvert the meaning... Like, "Onward Christian soldiers" (between the sheets) --giggle giggle...
Well I caught myself doing that very thing this morning... yes, it shows a certain state of mind...
Hardly at prayer (Psalm 18:21-25)
The LORD rewarded me because of my righteous dealing; * (I ate no Twinkies)
because my hands were clean he rewarded me; (for eating no Twinkies)
For I have kept the ways of the LORD * (I ate no Twinkies)
and have not offended against my God; (I ate no Twinkies)
For all his judgments are before my eyes, * (I ate no Twinkies)
and his decrees I have not put away from me; (I ate no Twinkies)
For I have been blameless with him * (I ate no Twinkies)
and have kept myself from iniquity; (I ate no Twinkies)
Therefore the LORD rewarded me according to my righteous dealing, * (I ate no Twinkies)
because of the cleanness of my hands in his sight. (I ate no Twinkies)
Yeah... there we are... only seven more days to go until the moving van gets here (We're moving no Twinkies).
Oh my.....
Prayers for L,G,N,M's mom, P, --thanksgiving for dear Brother Paul out of the hospital --prayers for his continued recovery, J,P,B,N,M, and please please please let the buyer of this house come soon.

Oh noes -- I love a Twinkie once in awhile. (bless me mother for I have sinned. LOL)
I have to admit to eating a Twinkie once when I was a kid(that was so long ago that deep fried Twinkies weren't even a twinkle in Carney Food Developers' eyes). But I have never bought one. I thought it was all my fault that they declared bankruptcy!
I also love that game!!! I once heard a Southern Baptist put together "Oh for a thousand tongues!"(between the sheets). I snorted the Coca Cola out my nose!
Stay sane during all that packing. I too pray that the buyer will come soon.
Te absolvo Ann!
susan s. --I guess we share the guilt in Twinkie bankruptcy!
Oh, Susan. Fortunately I had put down my Diet Pepsi before reading about all those tongues. My, my.
Thanks for the prayers. I type this from my desk at work, with my leg up on the side desk. It's now elegant but it works.
After Dan White's Twinkie Defense I could not eat one of those things for love or money.
OK, God, they've been faithful; now send that buyer pronto!
One of my favorite childhood memories is eating a PB&J on Wonder Bread with a Twinkee for dessert all washed down with a large, ice cold glass of fresh whole milk.
Ah, childhood bliss!
It's a wonder (yuk, yuk) that my arteries are permanently clogged, but I'm certain that, 100 years after my death, they'll be able to find my body because it will still be glowing with the yellow dye in the Twinkie cake.
And, I think you may go directly to hell for that Psalm.
--I love you all so very much --I apologize for not responding to each of you --I'm whupped.
Do you have to pack anything in hell? --cuz if not, that sounds pretty good right now!
