Reflections

Someone referred to me as "old" the other day. They came up behind me and made a wisecrack and then stood there waiting for my reaction. I think I disappointed them when I laughed and said "Im old and I own it baby!"

I love being middle aged, or over the hill or whatever they call 46 these days. I would not want to be twenty years old again, or thirty something for that matter. I would not want to live any moment of my life over again, because you see, what most people dont know about me is that my entire life's journey has been completely UPHILL!!

Most people know that I am somewhat quiet in public, but the truth is Im quietly rebellious. I have had to learn every single lesson in my life the hard way. I am strong willed but I have also learned great patience.

So yeah! Im old if old means finally reaching a plateau in my life. I dont miss the uphill struggles. I dont mind the even ground one bit. Life is good and God is great!

I dont believe I will ever really get old. I fully believe that we'll be in glory long before I am able to tap into my social security benefits. You may disagree with me on that point and thats your prerogative, but I'm keeping my lamp trimmed and burning anyway.
