If we could just ask our Magic 8 Balls....

A few weeks ago my kids and grandkids went to our favorite local pizza place to meet my Dad for dinner. At this restaurant they are smart enough to supply the kiddies with all kinds of fun items to keep them busy while they are waiting for their food and if you have ever been out with a couple of 2 year olds and a 4 year old, you know how important it is to keep them occupied while waiting for the food. :-) Well, this place has a supply of Magic 8 balls for the kids to play with and of course Gommy(me) had to play with them too. And as I was playing I was thinking "wouldn't it be nice, if we could just ask the Magic 8 ball about our future?" Questions like "Hey Magic 8 ball, will this be a good year for me?" The Magic 8 Ball has 20 different answers it could give you:

As I see it, yes

● It is certain

● It is decidedly so

● Most likely

● Outlook good

● Signs point to yes

● Without a doubt

● Yes

● Yes – definitely

● You may rely on it

● Reply hazy, try again

● Ask again later

● Better not tell you now

● Cannot predict now

● Concentrate and ask again

● Don't count on it

● My reply is no

● My sources say no

● Outlook not so good

● Very doubtful

I looked up the Magic 8 Ball on Wikipedia and it says 10 of the answers are affirmative, 5 are negative and 5 are non committal...so I'm guessing you have a better chance of getting an affirmative answer. But I know life doesn't come with a Magic 8 Ball to tell us what's going to happen in this New Year and you guys have been around my blog long enough to know what I believe and WHO I believe is in charge of my life. So do I know what this year will hold for me, my Magic 8 Ball answer would be "very doubtful" but if I ask " do I believe HE has it all under control for me?", my Magic 8 Ball answer says "Without a Doubt"...............
