~Deep

to

Dear
Lord,
So
far today, I am doing all right.
I
have not gossiped, or lost my temper.
I
have not been greedy, grumpy, nasty,
selfish
or self indulgent.
However,
I am going to get out of bed
in
a few minutes
and
will need a lot more help after that...
~Amen~

videos
of the wedding." {Jim, 10}

"Like
an avalanche, where you have to run for your life.

she likes to eat. French fries usually work for me." {Bart, 9}

~~When
God Gave Out Brains~~
~When
God gave out brains, I thought He said trains,
And
I said I'd take the next one.~
~When
God gave out looks, I thought He said books,
And
I didn't want any.~
~When
God gave out noses, I though He said roses,
So
I ordered a big one.~
~When
God gave out legs, I thought He said kegs,
So
I ordered two fat ones.~
~When
God gave out ears, I thought He said beers,
So
I ordered two long ones.~
~When
God gave out chins, I thought He said grins,
So
I said, "Give me a double.~
"
God, 'am I a mess.~

~~I'm
Awfully Well For The Shape I'm In~~
There's
nothing whatever the matter with me,
I'm
just as healthy as I can be.
I
have arthritis in both my knees,
And
when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.
My
pulse is weak, and my blood is thin,
But
I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.
I
think my liver is out of whack,
And
a horrible pain is in my back.
My
hearing is poor, my sight is dim,
Most
everything seems to be out of trim,
But
I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.
I've
arch supports for both my feet,
Or
I wouldn't be able to walk down the street.
Sleep
is denied me, night after night,
And
every morning, I look a sight.
My
memory is failing, my heads in a spin,
I'm
practically living on aspirin.
But
I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.
The
moral is, as this tale we unfold,
That
you and I are just growing old.
It's
better to say, "I'm fine," with a grin,
Than
to let anyone know the shape we're in...
{Thanks
to the Village People, Elaine and Paul}
