George,

 GP> Nah; every negative highlights the greater positives we will see one
 GP> day, when things are repaired! :)

  I sang in choirs for several years...in high school, college, and church.
Three works from composer Randall Thompson I've done, and I love them. They
are:

1) Alleluia
2) The Seven Last Words Of David
3) The Peaceable Kingdom

  I believe #2 is done with piano accompaniment, but #1 and #3 are done
a cappella (no accompaniment). The most dreaded words on a choral work are
in the piano accompaniment part..."For Rehearsal Only". 

  With #3, it has passages from the books of Isaiah and Revelation...and
indeed, the Millennial Kingdom of 1000 years (after Christ returns to 
Earth at Armageddon, destroying them with just the Word from His Mouth), 
will be "life as it was meant to be". The lion will lie down with the 
lamb, and infants will put their hands in nests of cobras...yet no one 
will be harmed, and "The knowledge of The Lord will fill the Earth". With
all the destruction that will take place in the 7 years prior to it, I 
like what Hal Lindsey noted at The Second Coming..."Jesus Christ is going 
to recycle The Late Great Planet Earth". That book started the current 
interest in Bible Prophecy. 

  I was watching the video messages when he went through the book of 
Revelation, and when he noted the bowl judgments of Revelation 16 (if
the judgments had been any more severe, the planet, and all life on it,
would cease to exist), he mentioned the second and third bowl judgments,
where "all the oceans are turned to blood, all the life in the sea dies,
all the ships are destroyed, and all the water is turned to blood for the
murder of Christ's followers over the millenia". But, when he noted where
all the ocean life dies, he quipped "no more sushi", and started laughing
(and everyone else did as well). I think of what former football quarterback
Terry Bradshaw (I think it was him) said..."Sushi?? In America, we have a
word for that...bait". 

 GP> How about 13 on organs:

  I'll tell you one first before I look at your responses. I may have told
you this before, but it's still funny.

  This preacher went to visit the home of an elderly lady, who was a long
time organist at the church. As she went to get them some refreshments, he
noticed a bowl of water on the organ, with a condom in it. The preacher was
obviously embarrassed, and he finally got up the courage to ask her what
this meant.

  The woman replied "I was taking a walk recently, and I found this package
on the ground. It said "put on organ, keep wet, helps prevent disease. 
Preacher, I haven't been sick in ages!!".

  The preacher fainted dead away. 

 GP> 1. I went to the library to get a medical book on abdominal pain.
 GP> Somebody had ripped the appendix out.

  That took care of editing in a hurry.

 GP> 2. Two blood vessels fell in love but alas, it was all in vein.

  Were their names Art and Tery?? (Artery) 

 GP> 3. An organ's favourite boat is a blood vessel.

  If you put the red and blue color together, they'll get marooned.

 GP> 4. Why do your heart, liver and lungs all fit in your body? Because
 GP> they are well organized

  I think of two young ladies on America's Got Talent back in 2017.
Darci Lynn Farmer from Oklahoma, and Angelica Hale from Georgia. Darci
won it all with her being "a singing ventriloquist", and Angelica was
the runner up, with her singing. Both of those young ladies are cute as
a bug's ear (I've never seen one up close ), and they're great friends.
When Darci won it all, it was noble of her to invite Angelica and her
family to join them for the shows in Las Vegas. But, in both cases, as
one of the judges wondered, "how do those vocal pipes fit in those tiny
bodies??".

 GP> 5. For years I was against organ transplants. Then I had a change of
 GP> heart .

  It was literally a matter of life and death.

 GP> 6. The angry brain lost its nerve!

  Never mind angry birds.

 GP> 7. Statistically, nine out of ten injections are in vein.

  My veins are like the weather vanes...constantly moving when they see
a storm of needles coming. The thing is, you're practically crucified if
being taken to the hospital in an ambulance, as they seem to pick the
road with the most potholes. Christian comedian Mark Lowery noted "the
ambulances must not have shock absorbers...as if you run over a coin,
you can tell whether it's heads or tails!!". So, it's a major effort to
find a vein for an intraveneous feed.

 GP> 8. What did the vein say to the pessimistic blood clot? Be positive.

  Hemophilia is a very serious condition. They've asked me if I'm on
blood thinners, or if I'm dehydrated. I drink a half gallon of diet
green tea citrus a day, so my kidneys and bladder are in overdrive.
But, I haven't had a kidney stone since I quit drinking carbonated
beverages, soda, etc.

 GP> 9. When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble!

  Unfortunately, those urinary tract infections increase as you get
older. And the bladder spasms are definitely no fun, especially if
you have to wear a catheter (been there, done that).

 GP> 10. You can hear the blood in your veins if you listen varicosely.

  It makes you well red.

 GP> 11. We be-lung together!

  Never mind wanting to do heavy breathing.

 GP> 12. When neurons commit a crime, they are put in a nerve cell.

  If a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea begins shaking because of
an underwater earthquake, it's "a nervous wreck".

 GP> 13. A kidney's favorite instrument is the organ.

  Sounds like when the scientist at the urology lab made a new medical
discovery, he yelled "Eurethra!!".
