From the Prez –
The Council of Raven Roosts held
its annual Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics at Sandy Point Park on
Saturday, Saturday 25. The Roost makes
an annual donation to the Plunge since our members don’t normally participate.
As usual, the Roost has also purchased 2 tickets to the
Council Bull Roast in Baltimore. This is
the Council’s main annual fundraising event. The event is February 8th at Martins West in
Baltimore. Our two tickets will be
available to the first two Roost members on a first come, first served basis. Text me at 410-598-4597 if you’re interested.
Next Roost meeting February 13th at American Legion
Hall located between 23 @ 24 Streets. You
MUST enter at the side entrance on 24th St. side. The front entrance is for American Legion
members only. The new officers and Board
member will be sworn in at the meeting. Details
on the St. Paddy’s Day Parade on March 14th will be discussed too.

A tough
old cowboy from Texas counseled his granddaughter that if she wanted to live a
long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gun powder on her oatmeal
every morning.
The granddaughter did this
religiously until the age of 103, when she died.
She left behind 14 children,
30 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren, 25 great-great-grandchildren, and a
40-foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
·
During
the service, the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to
express praise for prayers, which had been answered. A lady stood up and came forward.
She said, ‘I have a reason to
thank the Lord. Two months ago, my
husband Jim, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely
crushed. The pain was excruciating, and
the doctors didn’t know if they could help him.’
You could hear an audible
gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Jim
experienced.
She continued, ‘Jim was
unable to hold me, or the children, and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate
operation. They were able to piece
together the crushed remnants of Jim’s scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold
it in place.’
Again, the men in the
congregation squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery
performed on Jim.
She continued, ‘Now, Jim is
out of the hospital and the doctors say, with time, his scrotum should recover
completely.’ All the men sighed with
relief.
The pastor rose and
tentatively asked if anyone else had anything to say.
A man stood up and walked
slowly to the podium.
He said, “I’m Jim.” The entire congregation held its breath.
“I just want to tell my
beautiful wife again; the word is sternum.”
