Two men who were waiting at the pearly gates strike up a conversation.

“How did you die?” the first man asks the second.

“I froze to death,” says the second.

“That's awful,” says the first man

“How does it feel to freeze to death?”

“You get the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers and toes

Eventually, it's a very calm way to go.

You get numb and you kind of drift off, as if you're sleeping

How about you, …how did you die?”

“I had a heart attack,” says the first man

“You see, I knew my wife was cheating on me, so one day I showed up at home unexpectedly

I ran down to the basement, but no one was hiding there

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
