about this situation. 

With that in mind, I went to The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and
told her I thought I needed to go to a body shop to see if I could get 
a new body. "Do you have any recommendations?" 

She looked at me up and down and then said, "Just remember, it'll cost

I wasn't laughing on the inside. 

Later that day, I checked my Bible for verses dealing with bones, but I
had never thought of these verses before. 

Psalms 51:8, "Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which
thou hast broken may rejoice." 

Psalms 34:20, "He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken." 

I am a proponent of joy, but I never thought of bones being associated
with joy. As I get older, I am discovering just how important my bones 
are. From now on, whenever one of my bones creaks, I will rejoice to 
know that God keeps all my bones.
