I have long been a fan of Improv Everywhere, because they cause scenes. This is one of my favorites from last year. Enjoy the freeze for this Monday’s Moment clip.
If you received this post via RSS or email, please visit my Holy in the Daily blog to learn how to cause a scene.
Years ago I walked down the main street of Atascadero in a formal dress, cowboy boots, and smoking a cigar. And nibbled on dog food instead of pretzels. Of course I was with a group of crazy girlfriends, or I would never had dared to cause a scene. Have you ever done anything to cause a scene? Care to share it with us?

Ever try to write a vision, a dream, or message, and make it plain enough that folks can understand it? I’ve been working on updating my books into ebooks and new paperbacks.
Yet, as a dyslexic writer, I often find myself spinning words around in my head that dizzily land on the page. Not good when you are trying to “write the vision and make it plain (Habakkuak 2:2).
So when I came across this list from William Safire’s book, Fumblerules, I just had to share it with you.
What’s a fumblerules, you ask? They are mistakes that call attention to the rule.
See how well you know the rules and fess up if you ever break them. I never do . . . . *rolls eyes and looks dizzy*
- Avoid run-on sentences they are hard to read.
- No sentence fragments.
- It behooves us to avoid archaisms.
- Also, avoid awkward or affected alliteration.
- Don’t use no double negatives.
- If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times: Resist hyperbole.
- Avoid commas, that are not necessary.
- Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
- Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
- Writing carefully, dangling participles should not be used.
- Kill all exclamation points!!!
- Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
- Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
- Take the bull by the hand, and don’t mix metaphors.
- Don’t verb nouns.
- Never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
- Last, but not least, avoid clichés like the plague.
Are these rules you ever break? Do you have a favorite fumblerule you could share with us? We’d love to smile with you.

Did you ever go skinny dipping (swimming in the nude) when you were young? I know that seems to be a guy sport, but summer wasn’t summer unless a few of us girls took a midnight swim in the buff—no boys allowed.
Sneakiness provided adventure, and the coolness of the water provided relief from the hot summer nights. Splashing accented laughter as we cooled down our bodies and quieted our cares.
Nowhere can you feel the glory of a starry sky as much as you do on a quiet night floating on your back gazing up at God’s awesomeness. And nowhere do you feel as fully human. I think skinny dipping is one of my favorite holy moment memories.
Well, it is getting late as I write this and it’s been a long, hot day. The house is quiet and the boys are in bed. You probably don’t want to come visiting our pool area late on a dark summer night. I’m sure the boys still sneak in a late night skinny dip every once in a while.
I know I do.
Did you ever go skinny dipping? Do you still? If not, what is one of your holy moment summer memories?

Summer is not summer unless laughter accompanies grandchildren in our backyard pool. Children seem to know better than adults that silliness is part of godliness. After all, joy is the atmosphere of heaven.
Have you had your silly pill for the day? If not, you should. Here are 6 reasons why you need laughter and silliness:
When was the last time you were silly, and what did you do that was silly?
