Greetings!: Senior Trick or Treating

Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them. So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord. That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime. My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ. So, thanks again for joining me. Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Senior Trick or Treating

It's that time again - Trick or Treating. And for some, as they get older, it gets harder to give up this annual event. So here are some things to consider - eight signs that you might be too old to participate. (8) You get winded from knocking on the door. (7) You have to have another person chew the candy for you. (6) You ask for high fiber candy only. (5) When somebody drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over. (4) People say, "Great mask!" and you're not wearing a mask. (3) When the door opens you yell "Trick or ..." and you can't remember the rest. (2) You have to carefully choose a costume that won't dislodge your hairpiece. (1) You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker. So there you are. I hope that is helpful as you make your decision this year. And if you do go out and have any extra treats left, feel free to drop them off at my house - especially if they are sugar-free!
