| It has begun... |
As some of you are aware, I am instructing my two older children in biblical Greek. We are in the third year now, and we do this about seven in the morning before breakfast. As it turns out, both of them were sick yesterday (feverish), and so, because they were up already, I decided to do our Greek lessons in the evening to allow them to sleep in today. That went very well, and it meant that I would have an extra hour this morning.
So, naturally I used the time in the most selfish way imaginable - I determined to get an extra hour of sleep. I had only about two hours of sleep on Thursday night, followed by a rigorous day of fishing, then staying up late to watch the kids when the wife went out. The next morning (Saturday) I was up early helping someone with their roof - and on Sunday I was up preparing etc. In short, I have been feeling short changed on sleep this weekend, and this looked to be a boon for me.
Except that I totally spazzed out. Tuesday morning is our leadership prayer time - I normally meet with the leaders of the church for prayer at 5:30 a.m. in our church building, which I didn't realize I was missing until 6:15, where, as I was blissfully praying in bed I suddenly realized where I wasn't.
My doctor told me that it's all downhill after forty. I just didn't think it would happen so soon! |

If you are "down hill" then where am I? (I'm 51)

I think its all on a curve. In the grand scheme we are exactly the same distance from judgment day... ;)

I choose to be in denial considering I will turn 40 in December. :-/

I turn 42 in a couple of weeks. I feel like I am still 40 though.

I stopped acknowledging my age at 25... so I am WAY younger than both of you! *snicker*

Alright, everybody calm down. Daniel's lapse was not age related. He is still young.
Middle age officially begins at age fifty, but may be deferred if the individual can explain why he should still be considered young.
Old age begins at retirement, but may be deferred if the retiree occupies himself usefully and eschews senior citizen discounts and RVs with bumper stickers reading "I'm spending my children's inheritance."
I'm young for at least seven more years.
Daniel, you'll have to come up with another excuse.
