In my day ...


.
Reinhold Neibuhr once quipped - "Humor, is a prelude to faith, and laughter is the beginning of prayer.”
.
Last night I "prayed" like never before ...
.
The Ron James concert was TWO hours of non-stop stand-up hilarity ... there were portions of the show that had me wiping aways the tears of laughter, as Ron thoroughly entertained the audience assembled before him ... but his segment on camping in a tent trailer during a three day down pour on Cape Breton being warned by his father "not to touch the tent when it's raining" being set up by the realization that HIS dad needed the shot of ritalin, left me gasping for oxygen ...
.
The funniest line of the night put the exclamation point on the story ... "ADHD ??? In my day we never heard of ADHD, we just said 'JESUS CHRIST, there's something not right with THAT kid !!"
.

HE BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN, and was grinning all the way ...
.
And his occasional rants about "The Church" were hysterically accurate ... his shows are well worth checking out ... you won't leave disappointed.
.
This morning Noahkila and I started the day watching the new DVD we bought last night ... revisiting the show was a delightful (and fun way) to start the day !!
