This was a traumatic birthday, some in part of a statement made by a prominent oncology Doctor. I stated that I had never been 80 years old before and, am I going to make it this June? The Doctor thoughtfully said , in March, probably not. I thought that maybe that I had heard wrong, or maybe a bad joke, so a couple of weeks later I ask the same question, again. But the answer was the same.
So, altho I am living in the eternal, as opposed to the temporary timed life, there was a bit of concern, coming from being used to counting years, as the sand moves through the hour glass to setting my sights on The Way the Truth and the Life, as promised by my BEST FRIEND who has never let me down at any other time.
"Are you the one or do we look for another", was one thought that kept entering my mind, that John The Baptist said. So, if nothing else I felt sure that I wasn't going to lose my head, over this. However, then the thought did occur to me that my throat was in my neck and trying to severe itself from the other two parts of my body.
So, as we now have arrived at 80, LIFE has not let me down, is still here, is nearby, as always, and has everything in control.
THANK YOU ALL FOR MY BIRTHDAY WISHES, and for the part of those 80 years that you had set aside to spend with me.

I was probably the first to trust JESUS in Pastor Wilson's first Church in the Northwest.
He became a best friend and remained so through our lives and will remain so for an Eternity.
Many direct answers to prayer took place because of his advice and many sheaves will follow him to the Throne of CHRIST, me being one of them.
We will miss him, only for a short time. Our first meal together will be RC's and Moon pies. My best to Ginny who was the BEST example of a wife that one could have.

I am so privileged to photograph The Kent Chamber of Commerce Expo once again. So many great friends for so many years accomplishing so much for a growing city. I not only captured so many images of so many stars of our town, but am able to reflect back so many years and envision each image as I did from 1992 to this very Expo in 2016. And believe me, nobody has aged so much as a gray hair in all of that time, YEAH RIGHT.
