So You Had a Bad Day



So you think YOU had a bad day...

On Sunday afternoons the Captain watches worship videos of colleagues and friends.

I usually scan through 12-14 before I am through, pausing occasionally if the message is compelling.

That's how I spend my Sunday afternoons.

There I came across the video from a long-time friend. We attended seminary together.

But our friendship may have just ended.

He began his message pointing out that he recently celebrated his 57th birthday.

We are the same age, separated by a couple months.

Then he proceeded to say, "I'm moving toward 60."

Wait. What?

Wait a minute! Let's just slow this train down a minute!

It's one thing to be 57.

I own that.

But 60 is completely different.

60 is for old people!

Not the Captain!

So Jeff, if you are reading this, I love you, brother, but I'm not "moving toward 60" with you.

No sir!

Maybe 58, but not 60.

At least, not yet.

Sigh...
