Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
How are you today? Thank you for being with us! Love to you and yours!
Here is an email we got yesterday……
Dear Dewey,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your efforts with Dewey’s Daily Cup and For God’s Glory Alone Ministries. Your commentary has always brought attention to issues on our community that God fearing people should take note of, and your attitude is one of gratitude, which we can all learn from. We all need, and indeed in many cases seek, guidance or direction each and everyday we get up and address our day. Through scripture guidance and personal philosophy, you provide that ray of hope, that beacon of light to move forward in a positive way. Your undying Faith is a pillar for any and everyone who knows you. Throughout the years I have been blessed to watch you make these programs successful with little or no assets to get started. Your tireless work to make this work is such an incredible example of Faith, hard work, and a passion for providing spiritual guidance with a positive attitude.
My family and I have endured our own special issues, family difficulties, and hardships yet, through all of it you have been a source of strength. Whether it was through your Cup, FGGAM or a personal call to let me know you are thinking of us, it always seems to be the perfect message at the most perfect time! I truly believe that there are many more like me that are affected in a positive way because of your efforts but simply don’t write in to let you know. More importantly, there are those that are facing life changing or life altering situations in their life and have reached a point of hopelessness when your message is the only hope available at their darkest hours. We may never know completely how far your reach is, and truthfully I don’t think it is important to know, but, it is important to know you are reaching them. Your continued effort will always shine the Light on that which is dark, provide guidance for the lost through scripture, cast a smile upon those who don’t think they can take one more step, and provide a platform for those seeking help to receive it with open arms. I know this only because I have seen it firsthand. Dewey, may God Bless you and your family always, and may He shine His light upon all your endeavors. It is indeed wonderful to know you are never alone.
Warmest Regards,

Rick Griffin in Albuquerque

‘The World We Live In’ Today at 12:05pm MT On KDAZ AM730

Have you read any of Chuck Swindoll’s books? WOW! I just love the man’s writings!
I am reading again his book on ‘David’ I learn every time I read this book, just like I learn every time I read the Bible.
What is coming through to me as I read the book again, is CONSISTENCY…
I have been taught to be consistent, I was taught that at an early age, at home, in school and Sunday school.
I have a very DEEP APPRECIATION for all those that post at FGGAM and for the one’s that post most everyday. And for those that consistently support FGGAM. They are consistent in our Lord.
I know all of you have had experience with inconsistent people. I admit, I am a sticker for consistency and I am very hard on myself when I think I am not being consistent.
Inconsistency is something I observe almost daily, even from Christians even Pastor’s.
When you say something, believe it, believe that you can do it with the Lord guiding you.

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

Revelation 3:15-16

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
Do not commit to something that the Lord has not confirmed for you to do.
People sometimes want so much to do something so bad to help, that they over commit. They commit to something they cannot do. I understand that, as I have done that.
It is better not commit or it is better to under commit than to commit or over commit.
The inconsistency of Christians is not the testimony we want to put forward. I see people start something, commit to something and then drop out of sight, whether it’s a ministry, a program, support, family activity, counseling for themselves, stop smoking, stop drinking or whatever they may commit to.
We still post our news headlines on facebook (We plan to continue that) and I will post a few personal notes there, but nothing like I used to. I am sadden as to how many Christians are using facebook to air their dirty laundry or the dirty laundry of others or even worse yet, use vulgar language. This all fit’s into, inconsistent behavior and a horrible testimony to an unbelieving world. Too many Christians are showing an unbelieving world just what they want to see, CRAZY OUT OF CONTROL CHRISTIANS.
I have come to the realization over the years that inconsistency hurts God.
It hurts the Kingdom.
It sure does not fit under ‘Kingdom Keepers’
I posted today a letter from Rick Griffin where he talks about the ministry of the Daily CUP and FGGAM.
17 years of consistency. Now, yes, there are some days I do not post when I get tied up with ministry work or I am out of town, for that I apologize, but I try to be consistent. People like Karen Rowe have filled in for me and I am forever grateful for that!
Many people seem amazed when I will call or email asking how they are or how the Doctor’s appointment went, they wonder how I remember, so do I! LOL!

Some days it is hard, I wait upon the Lord for the message to post on the CUP, the one HE wants me to post. I sit in front of that cold hard looking computer screen some mornings and say Lord take my fingers and land them on the keys you want them to land on! LOL! Please pray me up everyday as I prepare to post.
People want to see a consistent message, they want to see that you are consistent.
One of the reasons we are in trouble down here on earth is because of ‘inconsistent behavior’.
Even Christians.
Being now here at FGGAM, we rely on all volunteers and supporters. I have such a DEEP APPRECIATION for those that have been consistent with us now for 18 months. We also have been having new people join us and we are so thankful for that. It takes consistent people for a ministry to be consistent.
I pray that we all become more consistent for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom! Amen!
For God’s Glory Alone in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, Dewey, Sharon, family and FGGAM.
Let us keep praying for each other and our families.

If you reject Him, He answers you with tears, if you wound Him, He bleeds out cleansing. If you kill Him, He dies to redeem. If you bury Him, He rises again to bring resurrection. AMEN! By Charles Spurgeon, BritishPreacher
April 20th is Resurrection Sunday.
I am praying on my message for Resurrection Sunday, I will be Preaching at the Reserve, NM Baptist Church. Please pray for my message, the Word’s of God, not mine.
People have been going to FGGAM.ORG and reading this post in preparation for Resurrection Sunday. It was sent to us last year.
It is so inspiring that people are preparing their hearts, minds and souls for Resurrection Sunday.
My Dear friend Darlene Quiring of Mt. Lake Minnesota has this to share with us to study over, pray over and absorb into our heart, mind and soul.
Please forward this to all of your friends! Amen!
Christ and the empty tomb. Mary Magdalene discovers Jesus’ tomb was empty
(see John 20:1-10)
The morning after Jesus had been placed in the tomb, Mary Magdalene went to visit the tomb. It was very early in the morning and it was still dark outside.She saw that the stone had been removed from the front of the tomb and that the tomb was empty.
She ran to Peter to inform him what she had seen. Then, Peter and another Apostle, John, ran to the tomb to see for themselves. The body of Jesus was gone and the only thing left behind was the cloth that was used to wrap his body for the burial. The Apostles were confused, they did not understand what was happening. How could the tomb be empty? Where was the body of Jesus?
Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene
(see John 20:10-18)
The Apostles returned to their homes. But Mary Magdalene remained by the tomb, crying. Then she turned and saw a man who asked her why she was crying. Mary Magdalene soon realized that the man who was talking to her was Jesus Christ. Jesus had risen from death. Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the resurrected Jesus.
Resurrection appearances
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the beginning of Christianity. If Christ had not been resurrected and seen by many people (more than 500), Christianity would not exist today. Jesus made twelve appearances after his resurrection:1. His first appearance was to Mary Magdalene, on that early Sunday morning. (Mark 16:9; John 20:10-18).
2. Jesus appeared to the women returning from the tomb. (Matthew 28:9-10).
3. Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus. (Luke 24:13-32; Mark 16:12-13).
4. He appeared to Peter in Jerusalem. (Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5).
5. He appeared to his disciples and other followers, and also a second time to the two men from Emmaus, in a locked room in Jerusalem. The apostle Thomas wasn’t there at that time. (Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19-23).
6. A week later, Jesus again appeared to his disciples behind locked doors, and this time Thomas was present. (John 20:24-29).
7. Jesus appeared to seven of his disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. (John 21:1-24).
8. Jesus was seen by 500 believers at one time. (1 Corinthians 15:6).
9. He appeared to James. (1 Corinthians 15:7).
10. He appeared to eleven disciples on a mountain in Galilee. (Matt. 28:18-20).
11. He walked with his disciples along the road to Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, and then ascended into Heaven. (Luke 24:50-53).
12. He was seen by Paul on the road to Damascus. (Acts 9:3-6; 1 Corinthians 15:8).
Jesus appears before Thomas
(see John 20:24-29)
Some people had doubts that Jesus had risen from death, that he had been resurrected. After all, the Romans drove nails through Jesus’ hands and feet and later pierced his side with a spear to make sure he was dead. And now there were people claiming to have seen Jesus alive again. The Apostle named Thomas had doubts, as explained in John 20:24-29 (NIV translation):Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.”
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
The significance of the resurrection
(see 1 Corinthians 15)
1 Corinthians, which was written by a disciple named Paul, the 15th chapter of this book explains the significance of the resurrection of Jesus. It says that Jesus died for our sins. (see 1 Corinthians 15:3). It also says that our faith would be meaningless if there had been no resurrection (see 1 Corinthians 15:17). And it proclaims that Jesus was resurrected. (see 1 Corinthians 15:20). Paul is one of the people who saw Jesus after the resurrection.
The Great Commission
(see Matthew 28:18-20)
After the resurrection, Jesus met with his disciples on a mountain in Galilee and gave them a command to go out and evangelize to all people:Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:16-20 NIV).
In Matthew 28:19, Jesus mentions the triune nature of God when he speaks of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is referred to as the “holy trinity” and also as the “triune nature of God,” meaning that God is three-in-one. Christians believe in one God – one God who is God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus ascends into Heaven
(see Mark 16:19-20)
After he had told his disciples to go out into the world and preach the word of God, Jesus ascended into Heaven:After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. (Mark 16:19-20 NIV).
The return of Jesus
(see Matthew 24)
The New Testament explains that Jesus will return in the future to judge the living and the dead and to establish eternal peace.There are several verses that refer to Jesus’ return, including Matthew 16:24-28, Matthew 24, Matthew 25:31-46, Mark 8:34-9:1, Mark 13, Luke 9:23-27, Luke 17:20-37, Luke 21:5-38; John 6:39-40, and John 14:3.
In Matthew 16:27, Jesus is quoted as saying that the “Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.”
The book of Matthew, chapter 24, describes a series of signs that will occur before his return. We are told that all of these signs will manifest themselves during the span of a single generation: “This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place” (Matthew 24:34).
But we don’t know which generation that will be.
In Mark 13:32, we are told that “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
There has been a great deal of speculation as to whether we are presently living in the generation that will witness all of the signs described in Matthew 24. Many people have tried to predict when Jesus will return only to be proven wrong. The Bible warns us not to worry and reminds us to be prepared, spiritually. For believers, Jesus’ return will be a glorious event.
God Bless you Darlene Have a Blessed Resurrection Sunday.
Let us all prepare our hearts, minds and souls for this time of year…but also, everyday we should put on the Amour of God.
Please pray and watch:

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Oh my thank you for being here at the CUP! WOW! What a blessing!
This picture is of me and Sharon on the right, with Craig and Anita Price our very good friends who I write about today. We are at the Cracker Barrel.
I have to share this with you that FGGAM.ORG is growing beyond my dreams….Isaac Milleson our CTO told me this morning that yesterday we had 5,924 VISITORS! Europe is growing very fast for us. We are praying that we can afford our own server as the demand for FGGAM.ORG is growing rapidly and the growth calls for our own private server to meet the increased demand. Please keep us in your prayers, we work from 4am to late at night in manning FGGAM.ORG If you can aid our efforts by a love offering each month we would be thankful. This is no longer a small ministry, this is major league stuff. I am still trying to wrap my head around this! Hard for this little small town boy to get this, but not this, When God is at the center as to what we do, it’s never small, for God’s Glory Alone! Amen! Love in Jesus to all!
We are still praying for a full-time paid news reporter, but we cannot afford that yet. I will be going away for awhile in May and need a fill-in. Please pray.
If you can become a monthly supporter please go to www.fggam.org FGGAM.ORG and get securely set up…..we would be thankful for your support, we need consistent supporters like you! You can also give by mailing your love offerings to FGGAM PO BOX 65516 Albuquerque, NM 87193. Your gift is tax deductible.
We also need writers for the website, news writers and writers of inspiration. Please contact me if you are interested. We can help train you in writing news. Some of our writers have never written before and are doing an AWESOME JOB! PTL!!!
The Lord brought me to this scripture:
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the best from the land;
but if you resist and rebel,
you will be devoured by the sword.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Amen! Praise God! Isaiah 1:18-20
I find it amazing how the Lord sends us to scripture everyday to read……I find it also amazing how He sends me to books to read! I FIND IT A MIRACLE HOW THE LORD DIRECTS EVERY STEP AND WORD WE SAY! AMEN! But you have got to have a personal relationship with Him for this to happen, it just does not happen! Oh, my friends, satan is going to pull on your string like a puppet if you do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ! Amen!
Friendship!
What is friendship to you? To me it is that our souls are knit together.
Sharon and I have been experiencing wonderful friendships. We got to visit with Craig and Anita Price of Sidney, Montana, as they traveled back to Big Sky Country from Phoenix. The Price’s helped me get established in my first job in radio in 1979. I worked for the Minnesota State News Network starting in 1978 while I was going to Brown.
Craig and Anita mean the world to me and Sharon, such Godly people. In the visit my mind raced back to those years in Sidney and the fun I had in local radio! Craig was the first coach I ever interviewed, as my job at KGCX was as Sports Director/Play by Play and Morning Show Host. What a blast! The tender loving lessons that the Price’s taught me are priceless! I carry them with me to this day. It was hard saying goodbye to them as they left for Sidney yesterday……..I cried like a baby.
Anita says she never misses a CUP, it is her daily devotions and to my pleasant surprise Craig said he reads every word I write! Amen Praise God! I am thankful I can repay the Prices some how for all their kindness to me.
Then yesterday out of the blue I received a phone call from Bill White who attends Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood. I met Bill when I would fill in for Pastor Leonard Navarre at Men’s Bible study and we developed a friendship, like I did with all the guys. I treasure these friendships.
A Godly friend never leaves you, you feel them in your heart and soul.
Like my Dear friend Marv who is on his deathbed. I have not seen Marv in over 20 years. I weep at reading my Christmas card from Marv, he wrote..”Remembering you as the best true friend I’ve ever had.” And now my Dear Marv is on his deathbed. I await the call that he is in heaven. I am sorry that I did not travel to go see him and Shirley. Our souls are knit together.
I miss my Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma and my Uncle Joe so very much, but they are in my heart and soul.
Do you have friends that seldom contact you?………It seems that you always have to contact them? If you are one of those folks that never contact people that are your friends…..what are you waiting for? You know who you are!LOL! LOL! I believe we can get tied up in our world and miss out on the joy of relationships that God put together, for His Glory, just a bit of caution here, don’t forget those relationships.
Sharon and I treasure your relationship.
I believe if we would pay more attention to our relationships it would be a much better world for God’s Glory!
Oh my! Families would be so better off! Amen!
How many people is your soul knitted to?
What is stopping you?
If you need help on friendships, contact me.
The following is written by Derek Hill…….
What is a real friendship? Is it a casual handshake or kind gesture? Is it a phone call to see if you are okay? Is it a visit to the hospital for those that are hurting or a night out for dinner? Friendship does incorporate all of these things, but what really makes a friendship at the heart of it? The Bible shows about some very good friendships. Let us dive into Scripture and look at a few of them.
David and Jonathan
This is one of my all-time favorite friendships recorded in the Bible. 1 Samuel 18:1-4 says, “As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.” This is a friendship that God brought about. These kinds of feelings don’t just happen. Jonathan was the eldest son to Saul and should have been the rightful heir to the throne. (1 Samuel 20:30-31) When Saul’s jealousy grew for David and he wanted him dead, Jonathan warned David to flee to a nearby field in 1 Samuel chapter 20:1-24. Jonathon lost his chance to be king when he warned David to flee. (1 Samuel 20:30-31) As the story goes, David and Jonathan loved each other like brothers and unfortunately were separated forever on earth. (1 Samuel 20:41-42) They had a final meeting in these passages and it was a heartfelt goodbye of many tears:
“David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground and bowed three times. And they kissed one another and wept with one another, David weeping the most.” (vs 41)
I can’t even imagine having to say goodbye to a dear friend for the rest of my days on earth, while they are still living.
Ruth and Naomi
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
This is a beautiful story. As a famine devastated the land Naomi lived in, her husband and two sons died and she was left with her two daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth. Naomi was heart-broken and told them both to return to the houses they came from so that they could find new families to start. Like-wise Orpah and Ruth were distraught. “Then they lifted up their voices and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.” (Ruth 1:14) Orpah then leaves, but Ruth cannot bear the thought of leaving Naomi forever. “But Ruth said, ‘Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more if anything but death parts me from you.” (Ruth 1:16-17) Ruth loved Naomi so much that she wanted to live with her forever and be buried next to her. Eventually Ruth marries Boaz and gives birth to a son and gives her child to Naomi to help raise. Naomi becomes a foster parent to Obed. Naomi’s love for Ruth is evident as Ruth 4:15 says, “Your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons.” This is a very serious statement because sons were valued more than daughters in the Old Testament. Ruth and Naomi loved each other dearly and we can learn a lot from their story.
Jesus, Mary, Martha and Lazarus
Mary, Martha and Lazarus were all siblings and they were all dear friends with Jesus. In John 12:3 Mary takes very expensive perfume and anoints Jesus’ feet with it to show her love for Him. Luke 10:38-42 shows the love of Martha. She worked tirelessly to serve everyone in the house. Her heart was in the right place, even though she didn’t spend time with Jesus while He was there. Her love was put into the wrong actions, but one thing is clear and that is she did love Jesus. Jesus’ love for Lazarus is evident in John 11:3, “So the sisters (Mary and Martha) sent to Him, saying, ‘Lord, he (Lazarus) whom you love is ill.” There are not a lot of scriptures that showcase the friendship of these four but you can see their love for each other the most in John 11:32-36, “Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at His feet, saying to Him, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.’ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in His Spirit and greatly troubled. And He said, ‘Where have you laid him?’ They said to Him, ‘Lord, come and see.’ Jesus wept. So the Jews said, ‘See how He loved him!” There is no doubt about the friendship that Jesus had with Mary, Martha and Lazarus. This last passage is so comforting because when Jesus sees His loved ones weeping, He weeps with them. What a joy to know that Jesus weeps every time we weep. Don’t you love your Savior! He truly is an awesome Savior!
Conclusion
I hope you can see from these three examples how genuine love is expressed in friendship. In David and Jonathan’s case, true friendship is expressed by Jonathan in saving David’s life. David’s love is expressed through much sorrow and tears about their separation. In Ruth and Naomi’s case, Ruth’s love is clearly expressed in that she wants to stay by Naomi’s side forever. Naomi’s love is expressed in that she loved Ruth more than seven sons. In the case of Jesus, Mary, Martha and Lazarus, Mary and Martha both showed love through service and sacrifice. Jesus showed His love for all four when He wept at the tomb of Lazarus.
In closing, I leave you with the greatest verse on love in the Bible (aside from Jesus’ death for us):
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)
You can see a genuine love for your friends if you are willing to love them enough to die for them. I praise Jesus every day because He loved me that much. I encourage you to praise Him every day also, for He loved the whole world enough to die for us all, so that we all could be called sons and daughters of God. Praise His Holy Name! May you strive to stay on the narrow path as you live a life worthy of the calling. God bless you!

THE BACK NINE HOLES
READ SLOWLY PLEASE.
AND THEN IT IS WINTER
You know … time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.
But, here it is… the back nine of my life and it catches me by surprise…How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?
I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that I was only on the first hole and the back nine was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.
But, here it is…my friends are retired and getting gray…they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me…but, I see the great change…Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant…but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we’d become.
Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore… it’s mandatory! Cause if I don’t on my own free will… I just fall asleep where I sit!
And so…now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though Im on the back nine, and I’m not sure how long it will last…this I know, that when it’s over on this earth…it’s over. A new adventure will begin! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn’t done…things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I’m happy to have done. It’s all in a lifetime.
So, if you’re not on the back nine yet…let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don’t put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether youre on the back nine or not!
You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life…so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember…and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!
“Life” is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one. LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY ! HAVE A GREAT DAY Remember “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. LIVE HAPPY IN 2014!
LASTLY, CONSIDER THIS:
*Your kids are becoming you……but your grandchildren are perfect!
*Going out is good.. Coming home is better!
*You forget names…. But it’s OK because some people forgot they even knew you!!!
*You realize you’re never going to be really good at anything like golf.
*The things you used to care to do, you aren’t as interested in anymore, but you really do care that you aren’t as interested.
*You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV ‘ON’ than in bed. It’s called “pre-sleep”.
*You miss the days when everything worked with just an “ON” and “OFF” switch..
*You tend to use more 4 letter words … “what?”…”when?”… ???
*You notice everything they sell in stores is “sleeveless”?!!!
*What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
*Everybody whispers.
*You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet…. 2 of which you will never wear.
But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!
Stay well, “OLD FRIEND!” Send this on to other “Old Friends!” and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!! It’s Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.
TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU’VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU’LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.
