The New "60"

I will only be the "new 60" for one day--on my birthday tomorrow. Here are a few observations:

• I still "rejoice in the wife of my youth" (Prov 5:18). I'm looking forward to spending more time with my favorite person in the world--Susan
• Being a granddad is awesome
• In 60 years my "island of knowledge" has grown, but so has my "shoreline of ignorance"
• It's such a blessing getting to see my children (and their spouses and spouses-to-be) become mature, highly competent and effective adults who are followers of Christ
• In my 60's my plan is focus on being more humorous...here's a quote from a fellow 60 year old...Peggy Noonan

"Wit penetrates; humor envelops. Wit is a function of verbal intelligence, humor is imagination operating on good nature."
