Billy Graham just told a great, little joke on one of his Classic Crusades which are broadcast on TBN occasionally. The Bible makes it abundantly clear that laughter is indeed good medicine, good for the heart and the soul. So, here's to your prescription:

There was a Baptist devotee from Texas that was visiting the horse race tracks in Florida on vacation. He wanted to bet on the horses but knew that his faith prohibit games of chance. So he watched the races. As he watched he saw a Catholic priest that was blessing a horse before a race. The horse won that race. This happened 4 times: the Priest blessed the horse and the same horse won the race. So the Baptist man decided that this was not a game of chance but a sure thing! He watched again as the Priest blessed a horse; he noticed the name and number of the horse; and ran and bet all his money on that horse. Sure enough, the horse took off and was leading the race; however, about half way around the track, the horse started foaming at the mouth and then fell over dead. The man was distrought, losing all his money; he went straight to the Catholic Priest and said to him, Sir, I watched you bless 4 horses and they all won their race. What happened to this 5th horse? The Priest said, You must not be a Catholic? The man answered, No, I am a Baptist. The Priest continued, Oh, well if you were a Catholic, you would know the difference between "blessing" and the "last rites"!

Amen.
