PECANS IN THE CEMETERY
On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan
tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a
bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began
dividing the nuts.
"One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one
boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.
Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he
passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He
slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one
for me. One for you, one for me."
He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and rode
off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling
along.
"Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I
heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the
souls."
The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to
walk." When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled slowly to the
cemetery.
Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One
for you, one for me."
The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been telling me the truth.
Let's see if we can see the Lord."
Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still
unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought
iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a
glimpse of the Lord.
At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all. Now
let's go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done."
They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead
of the kid on the bike.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
