This was the funniest end to this first week’s Limerick. He is Frank Blanding from Pocatello, Idaho. Congratulations Frank. I’m still laughing over what you wrote –
The beginning lines were –
There was an old man from Kentucky
who had lived all his life being lucky.
It was a typical day when he went out to play
but he started to drool, fell in a cesspool
and came out all stinky and mucky.
Now, here’s the new Limerick to complete:
It was summer and yet it was raining
Little Johnny started complaining.
But his mom had the answer, a real enhancer,
(Now what should the next two lines be?)
How would you end this Limerick? Include your name, city, and state if that’s okay with you so that we can let everybody know how creative you really are.
The winner will be announced Saturday, November 28th.

I just received a question from a friend who was looking at our new website that has been up three or four days. I realized when I read my friend’s question that might be one in your mind too. The question was “Why does the new website use the word Dr. before my name?” Here’s why –
In 2001, I was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in theology before a large ceremony crowd in Baltimore Maryland. It was presented by Doctor Craig Lamb, the president of International University in Tulsa. It was presented to me on stage by Olympic runner Gladys Mims. I was the only one being honored that night. It was given to me for my 34 years of ministry and the results – more than 11,000 divorces canceled and more than 50,000 decisions for Christ – from my live Marriage Plus Seminars. And also for my weekly international television programs – Marriage Plus and Singles Plus – and for my international healing ministry. Sadly, it was at the end of that same year that I left my first wife and became a castaway for the next four and a half years. After that, I married Georgia and was restored to ministry after a year and a half of receiving ministry from the leaders of Bethel church in Redding, California – Pastors Bill Johnson, Danny Silk, and Kris Vallotton.
Before receiving the doctorate, I did some research to find that an honorary doctorate presented in this way is considered every bit as important as an earned doctorate at a university. I kidded at the time that I got my doctorate through The School Of Hard Knocks. Craig has remained a friend throughout my fall and restoration. I asked him whether I had lost the honorary doctorate when I lost my honor. He told me absolutely not. The doctorate is for a lifetime.
Larry decided my title should be on our new website because people should know of this honor. We also changed our website name – NOT my email address – of holy hugs to the reachmore title.
I’ve never known how to really react to receiving this honorary doctorate – the same kind of doctorate that my own pastor, Dr. Robert Morris, has. I do know that with my doctorate and three dollars, I can get a cup of coffee at Starbucks!
The Washington Post broke a front page story today involving both state and local police forces nationwide. Millions and millions of dollars have been stolen by them in a scam called stop and frisk. Larry Jack and I share the story here. – Ray
