Not having a brain can be an advantage. And then, having a brain can be
an advantage. The thing is to understand the difference between having 
no brain and having a brain. I'm not sure how that's going to turn out. 


I was sitting in my easy chair drinking coffee when The Gracious
Mistress of the Parsonage came in and sat down. 

She asked me, “Are you ready for your MRI tomorrow?” 

I was quiet for a moment, and then, looking at her, I said, “What if
they find out that I do not have a brain?” 

Without skipping a beat, she said, “Well, if that happens nothing will
change. You'll be the same person you've always been.” 

Staring at her, she suddenly broke into hysterical laughter. 

It took her a while to calm down, and when she did, she explained her
laughter. 

“As long as I've known you, you have worked quite well without using
your brain. I'm sure that will continue for a long time yet to come.” 

I'm not sure when, but one of these days, I will use my brain and
surprise her. I'm not sure how she will handle that shock, and I'm not 
sure how I will do it. I'm just going to have to wait for the results 
of the MRI. 

As I was waiting for my doctor's appointment, I thought of Bible verses
in James 1:19-20, “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be 
swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man 
worketh not the righteousness of God.” 

My father always told me, “Listen and think before you speak.” This has
been the great challenge of my life. My tongue does not seem to be 
attached to my brain for some reason.
