Ernest P. Worrell may be the most earnest man in the world.

Ernest is easily inspired with awe for the wonderful deals and products he discovers. He wants Vern to share in these blessings.

Be as earnest as Ernest today. Don’t be afraid to interrupt someone’s life with a surprise blessing. And try not to close your life off to the Ernests who bring cheer into your day.

Let us rejoice in that day with the spirit of Ernest. Know what I mean?

Happy Friday.
