Say a Little Prayer
Squirrels had overrun three churches in town. After much prayer, the elders of the first church determined that the animals were predestined to be there. Who were they to interfere with God’s will? they reasoned. Soon, the squirrels multiplied.
The elders of the second church, deciding that they could not harm any of God’s creatures, humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.
It was only the third church that succeeded in keeping the pests away. The elders baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.

Good morning everyboomie.
I hope everybody's having fun..........this week.
As long as I can stay inside, AND find something to occupy my time, I'm just happy as punch.
As long as the punch is spiked that is.
Happy pills, and happy juice equals happy joe. Notice the grin?
Actually I just watch TV, and shop on line, and do a lot of exercising, because I'm determined to get back into the shape I was in at 35.
I have to admit it's working, because when I look in the mirror to admire myself, the image looking back is a devastatingly handsome guy with a pot belly, and skinny white legs......with knocked knees.
I think I strained my growing part today.
Have a happy day everyone.
joe
