The “Visitors” go first and the Home team last – at least in Baseball. So we’re winding down to the last about 2.5 months in this *terribly* long campaign that seems as if it has gone on forever!
So here we are with many things on our hands… children getting back in school… New teachers, books that cost $$$... new people to meet things to do – but it’s like opening up a new book or heading out on a new adventure.
EXCEPT – if you flunked that last half year of trigonometry or the first one of algebra and realize that neither math nor music was something you were cut out for – Now what am I going to do? Four years and 18 semester hours of a foreign language later… and a low score on the permanent record exam – Oh well you didn’t want to go to graduate school anyway.
Now here you are at 80 and ½ years into life and still haven’t got a clear idea of what you’re really aiming for – and the guy comes on the radio and says – “Remember boys and girls – to aim at nothing is to hit it!” And only now does the full import of what that means settles around your imaginary shoulders and you wonder if there’s more room on the island where R.L. Stevenson is settled in the Pacific
Nah… never give in – never give up… never, never, never that’s what Winston Churchill said in one of the shortest speeches recorded in English Lit. That’s why you can remember it.
So – pull up your suspenders -- re-tie the shoe laces… and give it another try you know that’s kind of a hollow sound to that at your age… but…well we keep trying. (J)
Nice to have you with us today…. Keep trying … keep smiling it makes things easier PLUS….”Cast thy Burden upon the Lord and HE shall sustain thee.” Ps. 55: 22 It doesn’t get any better than that! HE is the Creator and sustainer of the Universe and through HIS word you know HIM – and HE sustains YOU!
What else can you ask for?
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
