It's a nerve issue as best I can figure out from the MRI report.
I really appreciate all the prayers y’all have offered up to our Lord and Savior on my behalf. Thank You!
Thank you very much. It was a happy day.
“Open wider,” requested the dentist, as he began his examination of the patient.
“Good grief!” he said startled. “You’ve got the biggest cavity I’ve ever seen — the biggest cavity I’ve ever seen.”
“OK Doc!” replied the patient. “I’m scared enough without you saying something like that twice.”
“I didn’t!” said the dentist.
“That was the echo.”
Peter’s Portrait
One semester when my brother, Peter, attended the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, an art-student friend of his asked if he could paint Peter’s portrait for a class assignment. Peter agreed, and the art student painted and submitted the portrait, only to receive a C minus.
The art student approached the professor to ask why the grade was so poor.
The teacher told him that the proportions in the painting were incorrect.
“The head is too big,” the professor explained. “The shoulders are too wide, and the feet are enormous.”
The next day, the art student brought Peter to see the professor.
He took one look at my brother and said, “Okay, A minus.”
Amazing Longevity
A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch. “I couldn’t help noticing how happy you look,” she said. “What’s your secret for a long happy life?”
“I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day,” he said. “I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise.”
“That’s amazing,” the woman said. “How old are you?’”
“Twenty-six!” he said.
Doctor’s Guarantee
“The doctor said he would have me on my feet in two weeks.”
“Was he successful?”
“Yup, I had to sell my car to pay his bill.”
Ways to Keep Your Sanity
At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
Page yourself over the intercom. Don’t disguise your voice.
Put your garbage can on your desk and label it “in.”
Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
Finish all your sentences with “in accordance with the prophecy.”
Don’t use any punctuation marks.
Specify that your drive-through order is “to go.”
Sing along at the opera.
Ways to Maintain Sanity
Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don’t rhyme.
Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
Five days in advance, tell your friends you can’t attend their party because you’re not in the mood.
Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim.
When the money comes out the ATM, scream “I won!”, “I won!”, “Third time this week!”
When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling “run for your lives, they’re loose!!”
Tell your children over dinner. “Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.”
I’m glad it was a good day for you..Prayers continue.

Especially since a person with nefarious intent wouldn’t bother to renew their drivers license through the normal channels anyway!
Thanks for the HUG!
A TV program on the History Channel featured the world’s most extreme airports. The one that caught my attention is no longer open, but it is one I had flown into. I agree that Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport was definitely a thrill ride for passengers and surely a challenge for pilots. If you came in from one direction, you had to fly over skyscrapers and then hope the plane stopped before it plunged into the sea. If you came in the other way, it seemed as if you were going to smack into a mountain.
I found it surprising that a pilot who used to take planeloads of people into Kai Tak said, “I miss flying into that airport.” But I think I know what he meant. As a pilot, he relished the challenge. He had a confidence based on his ability and his reliance on those who guided him into the airport.
Too often, we run from challenges. Yet the people we love to read about in the Bible are impressive because they battled challenges. Consider Paul. With the confidence of God’s help, he faced troubles head-on—and conquered them. Christ’s promise to Paul and to us is: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9). Like Paul’s example, in the confidence of God’s care we can say to the next challenge: Bring it on!
Read: 2 Corinthians 11:22–12:10
Prayers up my FRiend, nothing is to big for HIM to remove. We pray oh, Lord, Father of us all that you will remove this cancer from our dear, dear, friend. Earthly doctors may give up, but we know YOU are the most powerful physician in the universe and nothing is beyond Your power. In the name of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
