I needed a good laugh this morning and a friend sent this to me in an e-mail. My Hubby has been going through some withdrawals from medicine taken away and a new one added in its place. He was told it could take up to a month to get over it. Please pray for Him for the next couple of weeks.

CHURCH SQUIRRELS
We all need a laugh sometime.

There were five houses of religion in a small town:
The Presbyterian Church,
The Baptist Church,
The Methodist Church ,
The Catholic Church and
The Jewish Synagogue.

Each church and Synagogue was overrun with pesky squirrels.

One day, the Presbyterian Church
called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels. After
much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels
were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with
God's divine will.

In The BAPTIST CHURCH the squirrels had taken up habitation in
the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the
baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped
somehow and there were twice as many there the next week

The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not
in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely
trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of
town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.

But The Catholic Church
came up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized
the squirrels and registered them as members of the church.
Now they only see them on Christmas , Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday
and Easter.

Not much was heard about the Jewish Synagogue,
but they took one squirrel and had a short service with him called
circumcision and they haven't seen a squirrel on the property since.

Life is too short for drama & petty things, laugh insanely, Love
truly and forgive quickly

That is so true.

I was battling squirrels myself for a couple of months - glad they are out of my attic.
