The Fitted Sheet



The fitted sheet is a handy thing if your mattress has just the right dimensions and is not stiff and heavy.  The problem with fitted sheets is that they are much like the first automobile.....a great prototype.   I'm sure glad the inventing and developing of cars didn't stop with the Model T Ford!





What puzzles me is, why wasn't the fitted sheet further developed?  Do people enjoy wrestling their mattresses into a fitted sheet?  And how many people actually know how to fold a fitted sheet?

LOVE IS






"Love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love..."  - Erich Fromm


 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.  1 John 4:10

"Love is grace standing on justice." -  B.J.E. May








My most favourite description of love to date is this:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.  - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8    THAT, my friends, is LOVE in its TRUEST, PUREST form.
