So in a few hours I'll be 50--that's half a century... As I look around and think on my life, I can honestly say I have no complaints, very few regrets and more blessings than I could ever deserve. God has given me a wonderful wife (she's been with me over half of my life), a son and a daughter who are the joys of my life, and good friends that I know I can count on. It's these people that keep me feeling young and I hope I never act "old".
A lot of folks dread birthdays and don't even want to acknowledge them. I'm definitely not that way...I still feel like a kid when it's birthday time. I hope I'm always willing to live each day to the fullest (the way God wants us to) and in such a way that those above-mentioned "few regrets" are the only regrets I ever have.
Thanks to all you who have been and are a part of my life. But thanks most of all to my Savior, Jesus Christ, for allowing me to live half a century and for being with me through it all. I love you! Mr.C <><
