Lord Come Quickly

Have you ever prayed that prayer
"Lord, Come Quickly!"?
You see I have my semi-annual cold/sinus infection and I feel like I could really enjoy the rapture about now. The problem is that I am not allowed to die yet. If I even thought about dying my wife would kill me (try and figure that one out). You see we are having Connor's Birthday party tomorrow and are expecting who knows how many kids and if I even considered death there would be trouble.

I could see it now. Me in Heaven enjoying the Heavenly choir and finally getting the chance to relax. No pain, no weariness when suddenly there would be noise coming from the pearly gates. A very unhappy blond telling Saint Peter to open those gates she's coming through. I'd get to experience first hand that being pulled through that tunnel near death experience thingie. I am not sure that Heaven is ready for that kind of commotion. So I will suffer through and just whine. Does anyone feel sorry for me yet?

The only other person that I feel real sorry for is Jonathan Walden (I am not sure that man can win with his puppy problem). I think that I will suffer with my cold instead of suffering from a puppy or unhappy child and wife. I am not sure that I am making sense any longer...wait is that a light I see?

No I don't feel sorry for you or Jonathan. Grin and bear it! :o)

You're well insured. You can die if you must--just as soon as you've helped with the party cleanup.

I may send Parker and a puppy to the party tonight, in costume of course. Parker will be Buzz Light Year, and the Puppy will come as a present! OH..and may send a baseball bat in case Michelle shows up!

How 'bout if we keep Parker and send the puppy back home to you?

Ha, Jonathan. I just read your comment. I guess it's a good thing for all of us that neither one of us showed up at the party.
