Hello and welcome happy holidays merry Christmas Eve I hope you're having a great

holiday with your family I wanted to post a little something on Christmas

Eve just to say hello and give you two of my favorite things on this day. One is one of my favorite stories of all time. It's from a book called

Chicken Poop for the Soul and it's by David Fisher, no relation that I know of, and it's

titled Chicken Poop for the Soul stories to harden the heart and dampen the spirit.

You know, it's a parody on and dampen the spirit.

You know, it's a parody on Chicken Soup for the Soul series that was out.

And then I wanted to play one of my favorite songs of all time.

I listened to it all year long but it is really a

Christmas song and it is from the Believe Again CD that Glenn Back put together a few years ago and you can still get it at

Glenback.com slash Believe again. This is the story

from David Fisher's book written by Robert Simon. It's called Table Manners. And while some

may find it funny, it really is a story about working together and what happens when you think you don't need each other.

Table Matters.

There once was a time when the Fork was king of the table.

Proud and alone, the Fork ruled his domain and there was peace and harmony on the

tabletop everything was fine until the night that soup was served.

The fork could not lift the soup.

He tried and tried, but there was nothing he could do.

Each time he dipped into the soup, dribbled through his long thin tines.

Finally, the spoon, the fork's oldest enemy came along.

I can lift the soup, said the spoon.
