This life, therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not heatlh but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed. - Martin Luther

40


Things have been crazy lately. Have you ever wanted to do a whole bunch of things but just don't have the time? Does your world spin out of control? Do you find yourself deeper and deeper dug in and farther and farther behind? Would you like to correct all this? I have the secret and for the low price of just $10 I will share this secret with you!

I would give up the $10 if I knew that were true.

So much has happened since I last had the opportunity to sit down and write out my thoughts. That's really a bummer though because there have been so many times where something has happened and I thought, "that would be a great thing to blog about." But then I get busy and when I finally sit down to write something... nothing... blank... I forgot what was so interesting.

I think the most interesting thing that happened in the recent past was me turning 40. I am now a 40 year old dad. My kids think that that is funny. My youth group wanted to know if I am going to retire. I just wanted to eat some cake!

For my birthday I bought a new set of golf clubs. I've been out at the driving range just about everyday since then. Today I had the opportunity to put into practice the hours and $$$ spent on hitting those balls. I went out with my father and a mutual friend to Mission Trails Golf Course. After a horrible first hole I got into a decent rhythm and was hitting the balls fairly decent... until. By about the 7th hole I noticed my left elbow hurting. By the 12th I was done. I couldn't swing the club to save my life. I had to withdraw. Is that the price I pay for turning 40? I will never admit or say: "I'm old!" NEVER!

not the elbow -- that's not supposed to happen until you're 45

Oh, for Heaven's sake. I'm over 50, and am just beginning to learn golf. Please don't tell me my game is over before it has even started...
