I've been looking for a book for quite some time. And today I found it!!!
Back in college, I was introduced to an awesome speaker, Liz Curtis Higgs. She calls herself "an encourager." I think she is hilarious and a very Godly woman. It was ironic where I first heard her speak....at a convention for PSAHPERD (Pennsylvania State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance). She was the Keynote speaker at the winter convention in 1996.
I became hooked and started reading many of her books and getting her newsletters. In one of them, she asked for submissions from her readers for some "fall-down funny stories to fill your heart and lift your spirit" to be submitted for possible publication in her upcoming book, "Help! I'm Laughing and I Can't Get Up." I recalled the perfect story from years before.
You can read it below, and it can be found on page 37 in her book. (You can click on the picture to make it larger)
