[In the eyes of some Congregants] you aren't a human anymore when you become a pastor. You are thing. A thing that is there to baptize them, bless them, pray for them, and serve them, but if you cross them, fail them, or fall short for them they will leave you to go find another thing. No one goes to the doctor because they care how the doctor feels. They go to the doctor to get better...and once they are they will have no use for the doctor.

I will sing the same hymn of Praise with Sherry and Erin. I will be 47 in May, which is "The Age" in my family. Grandmom died at 48, dad died at 47. I have all the same health issues, but science and medicine has seriously changed how well hypertension, and diabetes is cared for and monitored. I jokingly tell my wife that I will live a long life but ironically won't know it, because mom said her side of the family were senile. JUST GREAT!... I'm funny enough already or maybe that was funny looking enough... I'll have to check with my teenage son about that.

BTW - Mark H. I liked the joke could work well with a drummer substituted.
