My Weight

I recently went to the doctor for my annual check-up.  Apparently, as you get older, this annual safari is required!  I don’t know why.  Even when I pass with flying colors, the doctor refuses to give me a written guarantee of long life. J
 
There was one little hitch in my report—my weight.  Though I’ve lost weight since the last weigh-in, the doctor says there’s a ways to go yet---a long way!  At hearing this, I asked the doctor, “You know what I need?”  Of course the doctor said, “I don’t know.”  To which I responded, “I need a doctor who smokes and is fat.”  She laughed at my teasing…..
 
Then the doctor lowered the boom.  “Quit drinking so much coffee!”  “Now wait just a minute,” I responded.  “Coffee is just another way that God tells you that He loves you…..and He loves me a bunch!”  Here’s a secret for you.  Doctors need to get a tad bit more of a sense of humor. J
 
After I was dressed again and went into the lobby, Armona asked, “How did it go?”  I convinced her that it went well.  So, we went out for a chocolate turtle sundae and a cup of coffee.  Obviously, the doctor did not come along. ;-)
 
Seriously, I am thankful for good health.  But, it is my health with my God to which I pay most attention.  How goes it with your health?  With God that is…..
 
Blessings,
Pastor Allan
