Yes, yes. This one had me talking for a couple of days. See the excerpt below:
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Attending a weekly religious service, regardless of your faith, may lower your risk of death by 20 percent compared to people who don't attend services, researchers are reporting.
WOAH! This is serious business. This article proclaims that by attending church, you have a decreased chance of dying. This should get people really excited. Immortality??? People have been searching for that since the beginning of time. Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth. Aren't you glad to know that you don't have to spend your entire fortune and health looking for eternal life? According to this article, all you have to do is go to church.
Joking aside, it got me to thinking. Here are the real percentages. I'm certain I have a 100% chance of dying. For the wages of sin is death. But, I also have a 100% chance of living eternally. Not because I go to church, but because Christ paid my debt in full by dying on the cross. I have been adopted into his family, and will live in heaven one day with him as a joint-heir. Now THAT is exciting.
But, if funny news articles aren't your thing, here is a funny picture from my work Christmas party.

So did John manage to pull this rabbit out of the hat? I mean we all knew that he was talented but wow!
Well, the funny part is that he has a chicken on his head!
(about the article): That is quite a statement! I read in an email once that less than 1% of deaths take place at church!
(about the picture): I am glad you pointed out the fact that John had a chicken on his head, otherwise I would have never noticed! :) Whether he pulled the rabbit out of the hat or not, he's still talented just to have that chicken balanced on his head! LOL
