No matter how hard I try to keep from getting a bad cold, it seems to happen every year. This year, I didn't think it would happen so quick! I was so careful to wash my hands and try not to be around people who were sneezing and coughing. Well, it didn't work. I got a cold, known as the common cold, caused from a Rhinovirus. Whenever I hear the word Rhinovirus, I immediately think of a Rhinoceros -- the animal. The Rhinovirus actually comes from the Greek word "rhin" which means nose (John McCaw will appreciate the Greek usage). There are 110 known types of this virus that can make us sick. You can get it from the air, touching a door knob, and a myriad other ways. And of course everyone has their own home remedy. I'm willing to try all of them, I just want to feel better!

The average cold lasts from 2 - 10 days. Well, tomorrow is day 10 for me (I am above average), and I am guessing that it will take a few more days to get rid of. So, whats the spiritual application? When I get to heaven there will be no more colds!
