48 and Counting

Maybe its a Crisis, Maybe its a Cry, Maybe its Cool, all I know is that the older I get.....

The less I care about...........

What others think about me, my church, my family. This is especially true for judgemental Christians.

The harder it is to..........

Watch families suffer because of sin. This is especially true for families raised in church.

The easier it is to..........

Want to quit. This is especially true as the older I get, the less patience I seem to have.

The More I Wish...........

I could go back and do things different. This is especially true as I watch young men make the same mistakes I have made.

The Greater God has Become..........

To Me. This is especially true as age only shows us how weak and unwise we truly are revealing a Greater need for God everyday.

The More Valuable the Church is........

To Young People. This is especially true for those 20-30 year olds who wonder if anyone cares, loves them, believes in them as they are making the same mistakes we made.

The More Important the Bible Becomes.......

To a Pastor. This is especially true when my wisdom fails, my strength is gone, my understanding wanes and I need to know what to do.

The More I want to surround myself......

With Good People. Now don't be offended but they don't even have to be God people. But that is a bonus. I love the people of this church. They are good people. The best I have ever been associated with. EVER. But I also love being with my Brother and His amazing Wife. Though they are not church people, they are good people.
I have no time or energy for people who take, tear down, complain, whine, argue, drain me.

I love knowing what I know.
I love my church family.
I love being 48 and Counting.
