Nuclear Stress Test
I am supposed to be at the Heart Center this morning at 7:30 am for another nuclear stress test. I’ve had a few episodes in the last few months where I have had a little chest pain and needed to take a nitroglycerine tablet.

No coffee or breakfast for me this morning. They said to wear loose comfortable clothing because they will put me on the treadmill to get my heart rate up. They say it may take up to 4 hours to complete the test. I don’t look forward to the test, but I’ll be glad to learn the results. I want to know if something is wrong in my heart.

Good Years

It’s much easier to preach a sermon than it is to live one. Someone said it’s easier to preach 10 sermons that it is to live one.

Always rise from the table with an appetite,
and you will never sit down without one.

Joke of the Day

There's a guy with a Doberman pincher and a guy with a chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman pincher says to the guy with the Chihuahua, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat."

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us." The guy with the Doberman pincher says, "Just follow my lead."

They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman pincher puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he starts to walk in.

A guy at the door says, "Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed."

The guy with the Doberman says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

They guy at the door says, "A Doberman pincher?"

He says, "Yes, they're using them now, they're very good."

The guy at the door says, "Come on in."

The guy with the Chihuahua figures, "What the heck," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in.

They guy at the door says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed."

They guy with the Chihuahua says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The guy at the door says, "A Chihuahua?"

He says," You mean they gave me a Chihuahua?"
