I got to thinking about this when I was at the doctor's office for an extended period of time. I was dealing with someone who was worrying about me a bit, and kept calling while I was there for tests (and more tests, and more tests, and some radiologic studies)...all to be told, "Well, I don't see anything worth worrying about, but come back in six months." I agreed to text message out during the long wait each hour.
There is a trick to text messaging in that you have to try to say what needs to be said, but you don’t have all day to push the little buttons on the keypad! So I got to thinking, “Can I re-write this Psalm in text message language and convey its meaning “accurately enough” so the person getting the message would “get it????”

I have tears streaming down my face, I've laughed so hard. What a wonderful update of that psalm...
Thanks for this, Kirk---your day was obviously well-spent!
Cheers,

I was lmao the whole time I was doing this. The funny part is that I think when I do walk through those gates, I probably will have the "o hai god kthnx" attitude about it!!!!!
