So it is my parent's 40th anniversary on the 18th and me and my sister are going to try and organize a little surprise party for them when we are home for the holidays.

So I'm phoning a few people up to see if they can come and make the party.

I call up some old friends of my parents who now live in a small town outside of Lethbridge...I probably haven't spoken to the Stelters for at least a couple of years. Anyways I get their answering machine and proceed to leave a detailed message telling them our intensions and asking if they can make it and if one of three days would be preferable. Blah Blah Blah I go and then begin to end my phone message closing with "I hope you are having a good time" meaning to say I hope you are well "in Jesus' name" ohhh I pause realizing my mistake that I'm not ending a prayer but a phone message.... "ok goodbye" I try and push the star key and then the pound key to see if I can rerecord the message but nothing happens, I then hang up the phone.

pause


pause


then I crumple to the floor and begin to laugh and Pete joins in and we begin to cry because I'm so out of it.


In Jesus' name

AMEN
