Abstract

The article presents the author's reflections on his own ordeals having an enlarged prostate, needing a catheter, and being thankful to God for the physical aspects of the human body. Accounts are given describing the author's medical situation and his joy at recovering the ability to urinate. Comments are also provided regarding old Gnostic heresies which denied the physicality of Jesus Christ. It is asserted that as God created humanity, it is good to be thankful for all bodily functions.
