i did one of those silly facebook things the other day. there were two items side by side: your actual age and your real age or something like that. anyway i took both surveys…one said my age was 53 the other said my age was 64. now being that i just turned 57 i hope the first one was right and i really am just 53.

i think that i think a lot younger than i am. i mean i get church planters and young guys in ministry much more than i get guys my own age. i don’t know that i always agree with the message but i sure love most of their methods. i hate sitting around discussing my latest diseases, injuries, or ‘cussing the local politics or that kids these days ____ . i want church to change. i want church to be relevant and real.

that being said, my body sometimes tells me i’m a lot older than i am. you know i have old injuries that keep me from doing the stuff i used to do. i miss tennis and softball. i miss throwing the football around with the guys.

so how do you justify the two…the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak? this is not a blog that is going to answer the question for you. right now it is just my question.

here’s what i do know that when i get to the point where i am just complaining all the time – weather – body – church – different – young people – government – i hope that God takes me home. let me live as long as their is hope, let me die with a twinkle in my eye and mischief in my heart. 53 – 57 – 64 is an attitude. i hope mine always stays younger than the chronological age. what about you?
