Happy Birthday To Us!
Today I somehow stumbled upon this forgotten blog of mine. I actually enjoyed rereading some of my older entries! It has been quite a while since I last posed and I figure now is as good a time as any, given the timing of it! Today is July 4th, 2026! The 250th birthday of these United States of America!
Happy Birthday America!
We not only celebrate this country's birthday this week, but I get to mark another year's milestone as well! Given that I have not only survived cancer but a heart attack and triple bypass surgery as well, I believe I am entitled to a piece of cake sometime this weekend! By the way, I am feeling great these days, for those readers who may be interested.
I look around at the men and women I grew up with and notice how lucky I feel. Some are going through health issues that are concerning. Others I had to read about in that section of the newspaper we'd all rather not talk about. Time passes. It is true what the bible says in Ecclesiastes 9:11 "Time and cjance happens to all men." Ain't that the truth?!
I don't know how many more years (or hours) I have left on Earth, but I know I have lived a good life. I have accomplished things some others cannot claim. Earthly accomplishments, but they count for down here at least. LOL. I have met and married a fantastic, Godly wife. We have raised two fine young men who are Christians. I believe I have faught the good fight. If today my life were required of me I know the blood of Jesus continually cleanses me and I will go to a reward reserved for God's own. My mother, father and only brother have already gone before me and I know they are waiting to welcome me. What a grand and glorious reunion that will be! I don't really "want" to go today, just saying I am ready if I do!
Now... Let's see about that cake I mentioned!
