Revival Recoverer (RR): You going home today, too?

Cancer Recoverer (CR): Yes, thank the Lord, I am finally going home.

RR: How long have you been here?

CR: 5 days.

RR: Wow, you must not have an HMO. My HMO won't let you stay 5 days for anything. I mean, you could have a brain transplant at 7:00 in the morning, and they send you home by noon.

CR: Yeah, I am lucky to have really good coverage. I am lucky in a lot of ways. See, I had cancer and the doctor says I am recovering very well. I am not 100% yet, but he says I'm going to be ok. What about you?

RR: Oh, I'm recovering from revival.

CR: Revival?

RR: Yeah, you know, every year the preacher decides we need to get “re-vived.” So I am recovering from that . All those extra services—well, you know how it is.

CR: Yeah (confused) I have to take it easy for a while, but I hope to be back in church next Sunday.

RR: Not me, I plan to take a week off, go fishing or something. I figured I earned it by going to church every night this week. You know, too much of a good thing.

CR: Oh I can't wait to get back to Sunday school ---and even to be able to serve on the counting committee again.

RR: Oh, don't remind me. You know that preacher took up an offering EVERY night this week. I shouldn't have to tithe again until at least December.

CR: Riiiiiight. Well, speaking of December, I'm gonna have to change my lifestyle choices, you know, diet and exercise, to try to prevent a relapse, but I hope to be able to splurge a little around Christmas...What changes are you making as a result of revival?

RR: Changes? I already told you—time off from church, vacation from tithing...other than that what is there?

CR: Well, what about changes in your relationship with God?

RR: Hey, I've been revived! I reckon He already made whatever changes He wanted to, right? Well, I'm off! (exits)

CR: (watching RR leave) Yes, you are...
