Peggy and Skittles and Contentment (Guest Post)
Our friend, Bonnie, was asked to be a guest speaker at Sweet Monday, a creative women’s ministry that brings women together on the first Monday of each month. Grab a friend and a yummy dessert and get ready to laugh with Bonnie as she shares about contentment.
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life (like guinea pigs!) that God uses to teach a much-needed lesson…
Meet Peggy and Skittles
It all began with a tale of two guinea pigs, Skittles and Peggy, who became our long-awaited pets. Skittles was a very fat and happy-go-lucky guinea pig. She had a great temperament, but, to put it kindly, Skittles wasn’t the brightest bulb around. Peggy, on the other hand, was one smart cookie.
We realized just how smart Peggy was when it came time to bed down the guinea pigs at night. We’d put a nice wooden house with plenty of room for two guinea pigs into the cage every night.

The Bowler
… I quickly found out that this near-sixty Southern gentleman attended a church near ours.
“It’s gotten too big, though,” he admitted. “I feel like a number.”
“Do you have a small group you can go to?”
“Oh, I bowl professionally every other Sunday so we have extra income for things we want to buy,” he excused himself. “My wife says I need to get my priorities straight.” He went on to explain how his bowling schedule would be busier in December.
“You must be very good.”
“I am,” he beamed.
Chuck went on with his inspection and I prayed for God’s guidance. I immediately sensed that I should give him a copy of Randy Alcorn’s The Treasure Principle. I had several copies in the house for gift-giving to specific people. I didn’t believe and didn’t act on that impression. . . Continue reading The Bowler
