I love it. This could only be a list for God! "Renewing heaven, adjusting two stars and cleaning the moon"
But on second thought I can't see God Reviving the flames of hell and mending the devil's hoof.
This is priceless. I can just imagine the person who put this bill together snickering as he made his list.
Thanks for sharing.
