Or a coconut?  Pineapple, I think.  Yeah, pineapple.

Good thing I pre-prayed today’s Gospel, because I was getting nothing at all when I went back at it this morning.  Conveniently I had already come up with just what I needed to hear.  The introduction, which just happened to match this morning’s state of mind:

Take my yoke upon you . . . and you will find rest.

Lord, I am willing to suffer anything for You. I offer up all my sorrows, all my frustrations; I will take on whatever burden You desire, for Your name’s sake . . . because that’s Your holy vacation plan for me?
