In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Fool Me Once.”

So the Daily Post has given us these instructions

It’s April 1st! Pull a fast one — publish a post that gently pranks your readers.

Honestly I am not much of a prankster.  Some people say I’m funny but not in any practical way.

Still April Fool’s Day always gets me thinking about this quote from Christian missionary and martyr Jim Elliot.

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.”

Twilah Paris wrote this song in response to that quote

Now some of you may have come to this post hoping to read something funny. The joke’s on you. Happy April Fool’s Day.
