Sunday quotes:

Children are the most desirable opponents at scrabble as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat.

Joke of the day:

When I was little, my Dad built me a giant Scrabble board which was big enough to run around on.

One day I propped up the board on boxes and saw horses.

Then I organised a little show for the neighbourhood kids and their parents, which I presented from my big Scrabble board.

It was a play on words.

Thought for the week:

Proverbs 16:24

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
