Okay, dear. I thought that changing FOUR words would be enough, so here it is. Before we change any more, why don't YOU try using MY TEN WORDS first? Whatcha think?
It was my mother's purpose to head to the store to purchase some bread and milk, but she had a sudden compulsion to abandon our nutrition and began a mission to find toilet paper. Since it was only eight in the morning, she decided to try Walmart, since it was just opening and most to the vultures would not have arrived yet. The store employees had just re-stocked the aisle, so she threw ten packages into her cart and turned to the checkout, laughing out loud. The cashier, however, told her she could only have four packages. Still, she arrived home joyfully... until she realized she'd forgotten the milk and bread. mother purpose purchase milk abandon nutrition mission toilet paper laugh forget ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

I had to laugh, because my family couldn't afford a gramophone, so they simply used the gramaphone when grams wasn't talking on it! She liked to call her sister for any purpose in London, and her grandson when she could. He was on a military mission in Antarctica. Sometimes she would forget what she was talking about because of her overwhelming sadness not to be able to see them in person. She always said she just wanted to purchase a ticket and get on a ship to see them.

Your ten words, in the order in which they appear in my "story":
family purpose steal honney (your error, not mine!) beard clouds pipe computer forget sadness There we were, our whole family gathered for but one purpose, to steal away to the funeral service of our great uncle, Honney Hohumm. There he lay with his long beard, eyes in the clouds, a pipe in one had and laptop computer in the other. Who could ever forget such a journey of sadness.

sadness
diploma purpose mug curtains honey computer graphics askew broom I left Tacoma with sadness after I got my HS diploma, but it was my purpose to prepare for ministry in college, so I turned my mug south to Pasadena, the land of gardens (tending some of them was how I paid my way), so it was curtains for the Northwest. A little extra honey on my morning toast I headed to class each morning, in the days before computers and graphics to help us in our studies. Even though I was dedicated to the college, the Dean thought that I was askew, so he took out his broom and swept me to the street, interrupting my education with three weeks before final exams in the first semester of my junior year!

This one made you laugh? Hmm... It really happened to me! I was a thousand miles from home with nowhere to go and everything I owned was in my dorm room. I had no transportation except a bicycle, and I had 24 hours to vacate campus with nowhere to go and no way to get there! 12 hours later the Dean found me talking with a member of the 40-some member student body, and he ordered me off the campus!! (12 hours early!)
Two years later, after he'd left the school and was pastoring a little church near Pasco, WA, a man came into his home-office, pulled out a pistol and shot him in the head. Honestly (and I realize, somewhat coldly) I understood the man's rage. He simply did not understand human beings, and it cost him and his family dearly. If I had not been kicked out of that school I'd have never met my wife. Love in Light, Daniel

Oh my, Daniel, what a series of bad and happy times, especially the ending when you met your wife. In Spanish we say "No hay mal que por bien no venga." More or less "There's no evil that hasn't come for a good cause". But shooting people is not included, that's plain evil, whoever the victim. Personally, in my heart I have forgiven everybody, even my first husband, who was a psycopath. I'm sure God forgives people with mental illnesses, they're born and nurtured that way.
How are you coping? Have you gotten your laptop, or are you back home? Wishing you all the best. You and your family are always in my prayers. Keep safe.
