Take a Number, Please


Book Description

Life is about living, and one thing we know for sure is that living involves waiting. We wait our turn by taking a number, or maybe one is assigned to us. We wait to see a doctor; our name is on a list. We wait to renew our license; we pulled a number. We wait for an available table; we’re handed a digital pager. We sometimes feel we spend most of our lives waiting for something or someone. And then there is waiting on God. In her book, Take a Number, Please: In Other Words ... Wait, author Gilda C. Hoychick shares stories about waiting. This collection of personal anecdotes and wisdom found in God’s Word will make you smile and reflect on times of waiting in your life. She also uses the Bible to teach important lessons relevant to living a Christian life. Take a Number, Please: In Other Words ... Wait, is a celebration of God and His infinite love and grace for us. You will find hope and encouragement through these pages of memoirs and times of waiting; most important, waiting on, trusting in, and putting your hope in the Lord. After all, He is the One who holds all the numbers.

Never Try to Teach a Pig to Sing


Book Description

Never Try to Teach a Pig to Sing documents the thriving folklore tradition that circulates in the workplace. Never Try to Teach a Pig to Sing documents the thriving folklore tradition that circulates in the workplace. Alan Dundes and Carl Pagter have collected more than two hundred and fifty "signs of the times"—the office memoranda, parodies, cartoons, and poems that daily make their way through copy machines, interoffice mail systems, and fax machines and are affixed to bulletin boards and water coolers. The rich vein of urban folklore tapped by this imaginative volume constitutes a great testament to one of the world's most prolific authors—anonymous. The popularity of the items featured in this timely book is apparent by their reproduction in mass or popular cultural form—as greeting cards, plaques, and bumper stickers—reminding us of the inevitable interplay between folklore and mass culture. Dundes and Pagter clearly demonstrate the existence of folklore in the modern urban technological world and refute the notion that folklore reflects only the past.
