Good morning everyone. We have sunshine this morning so that means time to crank up the wood splitter and get some wood processed!
@sourland, don't feel alone about the organized religion thing. Don't get me wrong Faith is great and the source of my strength and determination but there is an old joke that I once told my minister when we got talking about organized religion.
One day a man died and found himself standing at the Pearly Gates talking to St Peter. The man asked Peter "can I come in?" and Peter said "sure thing, I just have to ask you one question. What church do you belong to?"
The man looked puzzled and said, "I am a Methodist."
"Great!" exclaimed Peter, "go down the street. The first house on the right is where the Methodists stay".
The man thanked him and headed down the street.
Another man appeared at the Pearly Gates and once again asked Peter if he could get into Heaven. 'Yep, said Peter, you are good to go. What church do you belong to? And the man said 'I'm a Catholic'.
'Fantastic, said Peter, 'see the second house down this street on the right? That is where the Catholics stay here in heaven.'
The thrilled man hurried down the street and disappeared in the second house. A third man appeared and asked Peter the same question and Peter once again asked him what church he belonged to.
'I belong to the United Church of Christ' the man said.
St Peter leaned forward and said. 'See the third house on the right?' The man nodded. That is where the people from the United Church of Christ stay but be really quiet when you go by the houses occupied by the Methodists and the Catholics because they think they are the only people who get into heaven!'
I thought my minister would split a gut and asked me if he could use that joke at their next meeting when all the pastors of the city were in one place. I said sure. The beauty of the joke is that you can insert any denomination that you want and I do just that so no insult intended towards any faith.
everyone! Woke up at 4:30 
but good that you can always have writing on the side.
I can only imagine the reaction!
but luckily DH is a great host.
so now it's a matter of building up my strength again. My therapist said it will take over 6 months for the pains to go away and some will always be there.
