Over three hours!

That's the amount of time I spent in the dentist's chair today as I started the process to put in three crowns. Thank God they were all in the same area in my mouth so that I can still eat using the other side of my mouth. Fortunately, I am not bothered by any of the procedures at the dentist's office. Sure my mouth is a little sore, but it's a small price to pay for getting your mouth back in shape.

More amazingly, I received an Easter card from the prayer ministry at Christ Episcopal Church in Ansonia Connecticutt. In truth, it's not so amazing, these wonderful people continue to send me cards and let me know that I am on their prayer list. I know that they are one of several prayer groups that have me on their list. But, I want to single them out for their thoughtfulness. Their cards always provide a lift whenever I receive them.

Otherwise, my eyes seem to be doing much better and my wife is convinced that that is true because they just look better to her. In any case, the irritation seems to have diminished though my eyesight continues to be the same in my opinion.

No other ailments to report as Holy Week lauches into full force with Maundy Thursday commencing the first of four days of church services.

This is what our faith is all about...
