Last week I turned 50 years of age. It was actually a great week. I had several people tell me they thought I was taking this “getting older “ thing way too easy. The more I thought about it the more I enjoy where I am in life.
To me 50 is the perfect age. I am not too young as to be considered immature (although you would think differently if you stayed with me all day), I have some experience in my life that makes me valuable in some areas, and physically I am in “ok” shape. I have come to grips that I love pizza way too much to ever have 6-pack abs. Besides I hate making others feel bad J
It is also a great time to reflect. I think God wires us at a certain age to stop are ask, “How do I want to finish in life?” The last few weeks have left me asking that question more than ever before. Would I change some things if I could do them over; sure we all feel that way. I am a very blessed man: I have a great relationship with my wife and daughter, I am at a church where God is doing some neat things, and my friendships in life are getting deeper. Yes, I have problems just like everyone else, but I do feel blessed. However, I want to live strategically. I do want the last part of this life to bear much fruit. I will let you in on the journey as it progresses.
