The Benefits of Getting Old
|
The Benefits of Getting Old by Phil Growing older isn't for the faint of heart. Things that used to work don't work anymore, and things that still work, hurt. I've heard your memory is the second thing to go... but I can't remember the first. Sure, I could grumble about these inconveniences, but I choose to see them as blessings. I can't see as good as I used to, but the people I hang around with don't look as good as they used to so that's probably not a bad thing. In fact, I wouldn't want a clearer picture of what I see in the mirror! Gravity and gravy are not kind. I can't hear as good as I used to, but it seems like the people doing the most talking today have the least to say. I do find I talk to myself more these days - it's nice to have an intelligent conversation once in a while, and we agree on most stuff. There's always plenty to talk about. We've probably talked about it before, but neither one of us can remember if we did. Which brings us full circle to memory or the lack thereof. When we were kids, everything was brand new so the world was full of wonders. As we get older, we've seen almost everything many times before, so having a short memory brings back the wonder. I wonder where I left my keys? I wonder where I left my glasses? I wonder what I walked into this room for? I wonder if I've written this devotional thought before? Oh well, every day we live brings us one day closer to heaven where we'll get brand new bodies! We'll have perfect eyes and lots of new sights to see. We'll have perfect ears to hear the very voice of Jesus! And we'll have perfect minds with awesome new experiences worth remembering. And best of all, Jesus will provide the transportation! We'll rise to meet Him in the air - no car needed! Which is good, because I still can't remember where I put my keys. Click Here to Check our Concert Schedule!

Rescued from the Burn Bin by Phil Several weeks ago I wanted to make a birthday gift for my preacher buddy so I went to the back yard and grabbed a log. I cut off a section, mounted it on my lathe and started turning. Almost immediately I ran into a soft spot of decay. I thought I'd turn past that area, so I kept going deeper but didn't come to the end of the spongy-ness. Finally, I gave up and threw the log into my burn bin. When the burn bin gets full I pull my mobile fire pit onto the...
Happy October Everybody! This is our favorite time of the year - Leaves changing colors, the nip in the evening air, the Chiefs playing football (that last one is all Pam, but Phil does enjoy watching the animated exchanges with the TV). Above all that, we are enjoying our new role as grandparents! We've been blessed to have a few opportunities to watch our new little buddy and everybody is doing great. Pam is the queen of feeding and book reading time, while Phil excels at naps. (This may...
Say what??? by Phil I don’t know if it’s because I’m a creative person, a song writer, or just plain weird, but I don’t like to take things at face value. I’m always looking for the deeper meaning, the subtle clue that reveals the author’s intention behind the obvious statement. One way I do this is when it comes to Bible passages, I imagine myself hearing it for the first time in the time and place the scripture originally occurred. This is especially effective for passages that have become...
