Abstract

Well, today is my birthday. Here I am on the cusp of 60. One of my first columns the Pacifica Tribune ran was titled "You'll Never Be This Young Again". It was a little reflection upon my imminent fifties. Like that column, this blog is a reflection as I now approach the big 6-0. I woke up early this morning, had a weird dream and couldn't go back to sleep. Maybe I was excited like when one gets on the night before the first day of school or Christmas Eve or one's birthday, if you will. So with some extra time this morning, I remembered the story of the children of Israel creating a mound of stones as a remembrance of crossing the Jordan River, and I thought I would spend this time remembering and thanking God for the many, many blessings I've received these past six decades. Before long, my cup was running over.
