60/40/40

This year is a milestone for me. I recently turned 60 years old, have been married 40 years (to the same woman)and have served in Christian ministry for 40 years. It is not a point of pride but rather of great humility that God has been so gracious through the years. The church suprised me last Sunday with a pictorial review of my life. I am reminded of the scriptures which express the brevity of life. The apostle James says, "How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone." I do count the blessings of a precious wife, loving children, curious grandchildren and loyal friendships. For those who know me, be entertained by the pictorial review.
