Good Morning and Welcome to Friday!

Exclusively today here on our Joy in the Morning blog we had a contest where you could win a CD of one of the great artists we play if you could figure out a Joy in the Morning trivia question.

Here is the question...

The San Diego Police Department has learned that a local bank has been robbed. Detective Smith is sent to the scene to search the area. They search Nicole's Laundromat but are unsuccessful. They then search Broadway Grill, a diner, but once again find nothing. The next closest building is Dave's Digital Photos. They go inside, talk to the owner, and are able to look around. After finding nothing, they come across a small closet in the back of the building. When Detective Smith asks to look inside, the owner says, "I would, but that is my darkroom, where the pictures are developed. If you open the door and let the light in, it will ruin all the pictures." Detective Smith responds, "Ok, but we'll now have to arrest you. You are the bank robber, and the money is hidden in this building." Where is the money, and how did Detective Smith know?

The answer: The money is hidden in the "darkroom." This is Dave's DIGITAL photos. You don't need a darkroom for digital photos. They look inside the closet, find the money, and arrest Dave, the owner.

Congratulations to the following:

Faith Merritt - Pocomoke, MD
Darlene Yorkshire - Lexington Park, MD
Mary Stratton - Salisbury, MD

They each will receive a prize!


Today's Amazing Fact: Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles each hour.

Scriptural Pursuit: Complete the verse - God spoke from Mt. Sinai: Remember the Sabbath day to what? Keep it Holy.
