A mild detox

We sat down at the restaurant and ordered our meals. A church member was giving my wife a belated birthday treat. The ladies then hurried off to check out the adjacent shops to see the products on display, while the kitchen prepared the food. Shopping for ladies never seem to end. I was comfortably seated and looking at the menu to order my drink. It had an interesting list of pure fruit juices and combinations of it.

Finally, I decided to go for a combi drink. The pre-fix name for this concoction is that it is a mild detox. A tasty meal of lamb and a detox drink will be just right, or so I thought.

The drink had an unusual sour spiky taste but was rather refreshing. Dinner time was wonderful but my stomach did not feel right when I got home. Just a light churning but no big deal. However, on the next day I was feeling giddy caused by my regular visits to the you-know-where. My wife took the same drink and she was not affected one bit. I had no appetite for breakfast and lunch. Towards eveening, my stomach settled down and I lasted through a deacons meeting that ended close to 12am.

The next day, I was back to my normal self. I was feeling good. My energy was back. That single glass of mild detox did its number on me. So glad it lasted just one day only. One good thing did happen, my middle kingdom was visibly reduced in diameter. That detox drink did in one week, what a month of exercise could not accomplish. Not bad eh?

What was in that drink.....? It contained four ingredients - apple, celery, ginger and pineapple. This mild detox might hit you if you try it, but then again, it may just be H2O to some of you. Think I will try the drink again next week....well maybe later, then maybe.....

Aiyah! ....Phew!

What is this that my wife found hidden among a pile of letters today? The new road tax for the car. I misplaced it almost two months ago and I did not even realize it. The road tax was renewed on time but it was not posted on the windscreen. Aiyah! We 'pastors' have been driving the car for 48 days illegally with an expired road tax. Phew! we were not caught.
Had we been stopped by the police, would we have succumbed to the temptation to take the 'easy' way? No way, baby. This is a non issue to us. We would pay the fine willingly. 'Praise the Lord "softly"- we were not caught' Why softly - its because we dont want you to think that God helps us to do no-no things.

.....the new road tax was posted up that very day itself. No more delays.
