A Disturbing Thought
Our daughter is coming here to visit for the next couple of days. Tomorrow (May 12th) is her 22nd birthday, so we will be celebrating mothers’ day and her birthday on the same day.
It’s hard to believe that I have a 22-year-old daughter. Sheryl looks entirely too young to have a “child” this age.
This got me to thinking (always a dangerous thing…).
Sheryl and I moved to Florida in December 1984, so I could take on the position of assistant pastor of a church in Merritt Island.
(Yes, I am an ordained minister, but please don’t call me “Rev.”)
My initial responsibilities back then were working with the youth group, and also with the musicians.
In 1984, the youth group members ranged in age from 13 to 17.
Today, the oldest are over 40.
Forty.
Well, I think I’ll go wind up the victrola and listen to a few 78s.

Ok...I couldn't resist...just look at ALL the wisdom you have acquired over the years that you didn't have back in 84'...there isn't a price you can put on that! If I only knew then, what I know now...Right? Life is great when we take it one day at a time! Besides, you're still a teenager at heart! "Give me that ole time rock & roll, that kind of music just soothes my soul"...Woo Hoo! Rock On!!!
