Thank You and More Crazy State Laws

Patricia Bradley Mystery Question 55 Comments

Thank You and More Crazy State Laws is this week’s Mystery Question post.

I honestly can’t thank you enough for all the prayers and well wishes you all have lifted up for me. It’s been a hard journey, and I know the grief process will continue. But I also know it’s time to return to blogging. At least for the Mystery Question. It may be another week before I can post a book review–I simply haven’t had time to read.

The photo is one my friend Connie Jennings made while in California. And I read this verse last week was I was catching up on my Bible reading. I got way behind while Bryan was sick.

Now for this week’s Mystery Question about crazy state laws. Three laws are on the books somewhere and I made up one of them. Your job is to figure out which one I made up…
  1. Bear wrestling matches are prohibited here.
  2. Here it’s illegal to ride double on a bicycle.
  3. You can’t sell doughnut holes in this state.
  4. In this state, you can’t slurp soup.
Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a September drawing for a book from my library.

    I hope you made up #4 because I don’t see how it is possible to define or enforce “slurping.”
    Be assured our thoughts, prayers, and love will continue your direction.

    With PETA closing down the circus I’m going to go with #1. Glad to see you back. Take it easy. We’ll wait for you as long as it takes.

    Continuing to pray for you, my friend. Grief is so unpredictable.
    I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
    2 My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2

    Going with #4

    Good to see you back, Pat. Good match of photo to Scripture. I’ll continue praying for you as you work through your grief with the help of our Lord Jesus.

    Dumb laws; let’s see…
    1. Why would anyone want to prevent bear wrestling? Oh, wait. Is that bear on bear, or bear on ??? Do they tag team?
    2. It sure should be illegal to ride double on a bike. I did as a kid, and got banged up pretty good.
    3. So, can you give the doughnut holes away? No, if there is a hole, there’s nothing to eat. Yeah, that makes sense.
    4. What! No soup slurping? That’s unamerican.
    I’m going with #2 as the one you made up. But, if it had been a law, I might have thought twice before I broke it. Could have saved me some cuts, bruises and a sprained ankle.

      Hi Patricia, it’s so good to have you back. I have missed your blogs and crazy laws, but to be honest I’ve needed a break myself. It’s been a rough summer! God told us we would have tribulations to go through, and He meant it, but also promised to never leave us or forsake us during those hard times. I love your photo and verse, it’s so peaceful.
      I think I’m going with #4, it’s just too hard not to slurp soup, especially when it’s hot, and I sure hope bear wrestling is prohibited, they’ve been very active this summer in Gatlinburg!

    It’s great to have you back, Pat! I pray that God will continue to uphold you as you work through the grief of your loss.

    I like the picture and verse. And just think – as pretty as that picture is, we cannot begin to imagine what beauty we will behold one day when we reach our eternal home.

    I am going with #4 this week. I’m sure every child who ever grew up in a home where manners were taught were certainly taught that you should not slurp your soup. But making it a law seems to be overkill. I think I can possibly find some justification for the other three you shared. Tim spoke of the dangers of riding double on a bicycle. I think donut holes are dangerous. If one gets lodged in your throat because you just tossed it back and tried to swallow it whole, you could choke to death. I think bear wrestling would obviously be very dangerous.

    I going with #3. Who doesn’t love a good donut hole? It would be a shame if this was true. ….and a donut hole has no calories, LOL!
