Letter to the Buzz
The Hem - Friday Nights 6-8
Fresh off the press! News flash!
I had a dream last night: I was walking a long
distance, alone, on a long curvy concrete road. I
was talking loudly about Jesus (evangelizing) as I
was walking. I was dressed like Jesus, with the white
robe and red sash. When I reached my destination,
I went to a little tent (“sukkah” is a Jewish tent set
up on Sukkot, The Feast of Tabernacles), to have a
Bible study with Jesus. There was a little gathering
there in this tent. Everyone had their Bible with
them. Jesus walked away for a minute, leaving his
Bible open (there was no Talmud, Catechism, Book
of Mormon there BTW, and I doubt the “bible” he
had was a New World Translation), which I took a
peek at. When he came back, he asked me, do you
have your Bible? I embarrassingly said, “No, Sir.”
I was caught empty-handed! Jesus still reads
the Bible at his own Bible study. Let’s go y’all. It’s
time to go. Time is almost up. Time to get serious
about our spiritual lives!

Here’s a *T*I*P*
We spend about 77 years on this earth, then
eternity in one of two places. Our lives should be
all about Jesus. We should look, walk, talk, act and Watching one of those How It’s Made TV shows

~ Christa Cheifer into paper, it must be rolled, perforated, embossed,
scented, and tailored to meet the specific requirements
of various brands. Considering all these steps, it’s
amazing that this daily necessity isn’t higher priced than
it is. According to the show, the average person uses
100 rolls of toilet paper per year, which equates to an
estimated $182 annually.
Worldwide, 83 million rolls of toilet paper are
made each day! It’s easy to understand the chaos created
during the pandemic when panic-buying and stock
piling caused shortages and drove prices skyhigh.
Here’s a hypothesis to ponder while on the throne: if
you hang your toilet paper so you pull it from the bottom,
you’re deemed more intelligent than someone who hangs
it to pull from the top. This is according to “Toilet Paper
History.” Next time you take a seat, try to get that thought
out of your head! ~ bb, Daniels County Leader
