Once upon a time, there was a knight ,with a skirt of course. Wasn't Joan of Arc a knight? Maybe she would have been a couple of centuries previously. This knight's name was Linda and she had been comissioned by royal proclamation(Titus 2:4-5) to:
"...they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. "
Now this knight had assignment over many of these kingdoms, and as it was, had battled many dragons. Some by herself and others with the help of her esquires, or the Handsome Knight in Shinning Armor. He always seemed to save the day. But there were many dragons still to come, some threating some of her kingdoms as we speak. Some dragons were very hard to conquer. Thus we come to the Kingdom of Refrigerator. This one was not easily defeated for the dragon of Slothfulness dwelled there and wasn't about to let her fulfill her calling.
One of the reasons that Knight Linda had such a hard time defeating this horrible monster ,specifically in this Kingdom, was because she constantly ignored it. This was a downfall on her part, and the King had noticed that His good knight needed some leading. There are times when a knight just needs to hear the truth and so this time she did. She was touched to think the King had noticed and was willing to forgive her intentional faults. So she determined in her mind ,she wasn't going to disappoint the King.
Resolved to defeat the dragon of Slothfulness, she faced the Kingdom of Refrigerator, as daunting as it was, and attacked! Early in the morning, when she knew she wouldn't have as many obstacles to turn her aside, she stabbed the dragon in the heart and saved the Kingdom!
Kingdom Refrigerator shined from the freedom that held it bound, and the King looked on in pleasure.
There was Victory for the noble knight Linda that day, and she along with her fellows rejoiced at pressing toward the mark of her high calling. She knew she would have to walk humbly before her King ,who's knights had a way of veering off from fighting the difficult dragons.
The End

Bravo!!(clapping with gusto)...
a brilliant way to make the retelling of a mundane chore more interesting! I never would have thought of it. :)
By the way, I've been meaning to tell you, I would love to promote your blog on my blog - just by mentioning a little about it in a post with a link to it - I already have you on my list of blogs I like. I don't think it's going to cause a real spike in your stats since I don't get that much traffic on mine, but you never know. I don't want to do it without your permission though, so just let me know when you're ready.
Have a great weekend!
I'd be honored Nina.
Thanks.
