In days past, all of us used to feel sorry for the baby Jesus being born in a manger and all.
But these days, the way HMO's are dealing with maternity, actually, he didn't have it all that bad when ya think about it.
I guess you could say I've moved into the 90's now too. I created a database on my computer to count my blessings.
I had the oddest dream the other nite about Heaven. In order to get there, you had to climb this ladder and mark each rung with chalk for each time you had sinned.
I woke up totally exhausted, as I had to keep going back down to get more chalk.
For those of you who don't know, there's quite a controversy going on at present in the Jewish religion over traditional beliefs and New Age/Reformed ones.
For example, there's a new Temple that just opened in Columbia Maryland that's so reformed, they can do a 24 hour fast in an hour and a half.
The Priest had just finished hearing the man's confession & was considering the man's penitence. "Are you sure you're going to try to set aside all sin ?"
"Yes Father, I certainly am going to try." replied the man. "I here-by resolve to double my efforts."
"And you're going to attend Mass regularly my son ?" the Priest went on.
"Yes Father, I realize I have strayed." said the man. "I shall both worship and confess every week."
"And how about your debts and those you have cheated ?" inquired the Priest.
"Now just a minute Father." said the man. "Now you're talking business and not religion."
