BIRTHDAY Number 65

My 65th birthday was yesterday, and what a wonderful day it was. Our friends Evan & Audrey Eusey from Emporia, Kansas, were in town and they spoke to our Sunday School class about their upcoming mission trip to Japan. Nathan and Wendy joined us for Sunday School to meet Evan & Audrey and hear what they had to share with us. After SS we all went out to eat at Copper River Grill and had a wonderful meal and fellowship.
Sunday afternoon I had my usual nap and the older I get the longer the naps are. I wonder why that is?
Sunday evening we went over to Nathan & Wendy's and had a great meal and visit. Nathan and Wendy are great cooks!
Back to reality this morning as it is just another work day.

UPDATE

There is a lot going on in our lives at the present time, and I am very thankful that I am here to deal with it and enjoy it all. God is good in everything that he does.
This coming Sunday Evan & Audrey Eusey will be in town and we have invited them to come to Saxe Gotha and speak to our SS Class to share their hearts concerning their upcoming mission trip to Japan. I am sure that God is going to use them to touch the hearts of everyone there.
This past Sunday at Saxe Gotha they had a Faith Fair....I had never heard of one of these, but let me tell you it is something that all churches should have. There were booths set up everywhere with all the things that will be taking place this coming year at Saxe Gotha, and real live people there to discuss what they had to offer. I might also say that I enjoyed all of the refreshments they had.
The Nailbenders started painting SS rooms this past week and are going to continue this week starting tomorrow night. I am excited because I was just given a T-shirt with the Nailbenders logo on it so I guess I am now a member of a group that does things for others to help them out.
Kathy, her sister Carole, and mother (Mrs. Garren) flew out of Charlotte this morning headed to Naples, Fla to visit Mrs. Garren's brother. They arrived safe an sound, but had some interesting driving through heavy rain storms on the way from Fort Lauderdale to Naples. They will be flying back into Charlotte, NC this coming Thursday...then I will be going to Charlotte to pick Kathy up.
I guess that is it for tonight, but our daughter Wendy has to proof read this in the morning and make sure that I did not make too many mistakes....She has her work cut out for her.

A Few Random Sayings

1. I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place.
2. Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over?
3. Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
4. Wouldn't you know it...brains cells come and brain cells go, but FAT cells live forever.
5. Why do we have to swear on the Bible in court when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside.
6. Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
7. Marriage changes passion. Suddenly you're in bed with a relative.
