On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went
straight to her grandparent’s house to visit her 95 year old
grandmother and comfort her.
When she asked how her grandfather had
died, her grandmother replied, “He had a heart attack while we were
making love on Sunday morning.”
Horrified, Katie told her grandmother
that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for
trouble. “Oh no, my dear, ” replied granny. “Many years ago, realizing
our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the
church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and
slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on
the Dong.” She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, “
"And if
that damned ice cream truck hadn’t come along, he’d still be alive
today!”
Everybody have a super groovalicious weekend!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: Sometimes it is so hard to wait. To wait for new things to happen in my life. To wait for you to answer my prayers. To wait for the open doors that may lead me into a new way of being. During the time of waiting, it seems that all I can think of is having what it is I am waiting for. At times I feel weary of asking and waiting, and I wonder if you really hear my prayers at all, if you are ignoring me, or if you are simply refusing to give me my heart’s desire. A part of me knows that you want my best, and that your time is not my time, but Lord, it is still so hard to wait. Deepen my trust, O Lord, during the times when my heart longs for what can only come in the fullness of time. Give me a calm assurance that your will for me is grander than anything I could ever imagine. Still my mind and heart in your love so that I am mindful of the grace you are draping around me every single day, every single moment. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
