So today we have two couples in the news, and their situations could not be more different. See if you can guess which two couples we're talking about.
One couple has been married for 69 years, has worked tirelessly for decades to eradicate horrible diseases that afflict the world's poorest people, and are joined at the hip by endless devotion. This morning, one half of the couple announced a cancer diagnosis by saying, "I was surprisingly at ease — much more so than my wife was."
The other couple was recently convicted of greedily accepting gifts from a slimy businessman, were sentenced to prison, and have been throwing whiny tantrums ever since. Yesterday, one half of the couple told a federal court that she shouldn't be hauled off to the hoosegow even if her husband is. (And it's increasingly looking like he will be.)
Both couples are supposed to be Christians. Which one do you think actually is? And which one do you think is happier, even with melanoma and radiation and all that other awful stuff hanging over their heads? We cats know, and we PURR.
