I have always enjoyed spending time with my elders, listening to their stories and learning of their history, their loves, their life. Just never thought of myself becoming one, but it appears to have happened when I wasn't paying attention!

I pray that you and I demonstrate respect to each person we encounter in person, on the phone and in written communication, my friend and brother-in-Christ Col Carl Whicker.
I pray that YOU bless those who have been interceding for salvation for loved ones throughout this world. I thank YOU that YOU grant the deepest desires of our heart/soul in YOUR perfect timing.
I pray dear God that YOU motivate parents, grandparents, children, teachers, legislators and leaders to respect human life from pregnancy through after death. I pray that YOU convict those who are intent on lording it over other people for personal gain and/or vengeance.
I pray that YOU shine a light on the corruption at Federal, State and local levels. I pray that YOU open the eyes of federal, state and local investigators and give them wisdom to investigate and uncover what needs to be opened to the light.
I thank YOU LORD God for eternal life. I thank YOU as well for sanctification which purifies each adopted son and daughter of YOURS from our justification to the end of this mortal coil.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well tonight.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Meme from FB this morning....does seem like this is the case some days. On a more positive note, here's one from Sophia Loren:
"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age."
Good Wednesday COL Mikel J. Burroughs and RP Friends.

Good "Wednesday" Morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from the clearing skies of the Greater Boston Area! We are all growing older and so your topic for today, "Growing Older Day!", is perfect!!!
1) "In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives a message of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage – so long are you young. When the wires are all down and our heart is covered with the snow of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and only then, are you grown old.” ~Douglas MacArthur
2) "A human being would certainly not grow to be 70 or 80 years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species to which he belongs. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life’s morning.” ~Carl Jung
3) “My physical body may be less efficient and less beautiful in old age. But God has given me an enormous compensation: my mind is richer my Soul is broader and my wisdom is at a peak. I am so happy with the riches of my advanced peak age that, contrary to Faust, I would not wish to return to youth.” ~Robert Muller
4) “I love living. I love that I’m alive to love my age. There are many people who went to bed just as I did yesterday evening and didn’t wake this morning. I love and feel very blessed that I did.” ~Maya Angelou
"Getting older is a state of mind... I see old people who have given up, learn nothing, do nothing and complain... I like to do, I like to take my mind to the far reaches of the Universe. My mind is young, my body not so much, but the knowledge and wisdom I gain is God's reward for leading a good life."
