Okay , so let me tell you a crude, but poignant story. I once knew a man who was older and began to have problems using the bathroom. He ate all sorts of fiber, took medicine and nothing really helped. Eventually they had to remove part of his intestine and attach a bag for him to deficate. [Notice my choice use of words to describe 'poop']

So, when I have a great bowel movement. I praise God. Sounds funny? Well, it is, but none the less, when I use the bathroom I thankGod. Whether big or small I praise Him because he is good and always provides (sometimes twice a day).   

I know my Mom praises God for good parking spots at the grocery store.  

What about you? What are some funny or odd things you find yourself praising God for?

It appeared that on our last youth retreat that someone took a crap in the shower. It happened the first night there and it sat there in the shower for the next three days. Word spread and then the bathroom became like a zoo, people flocked in to look at the caged brown beast. Much speculation took flight around our camp as to who would do such a horrific deed. Many were accused, many were disgusted. And in a gross way it was a uniting factor. Everyone had the turd in common. It was the crap that binded us.

Now to tell you the truth, it was not infact what everyone thought it was. It was simply a Cliff bar molded into a famailar shape and left all alone in that shower. So this is my confession: I did it! No one took an ill-fated movement in the shower. It was a hoax and it worked beautifully!
