Change is good ... NOW is the NEW fill in the blank

I love change and I love all of the new slogans. Fifty is the new Thirty. Saturday is the new Sunday. This is the new that. These recent affirmations are telling us that we are living in a different world than our parents did. And this world as we know it will not be the same one that our children and grandchildren will live in.

When I drove past this Church this evening I was already late for dinner AND their service. But it's good to know how to deal with enemies in the future ... kill them with kindness? I'll keep that in mind.

Jane is just too funny. Sometimes the more things change, the more I wish they'd stay the same. But time will go on without me so I better try keep up.

Cynthia ~ Frankly, I'm wanting a bit of the old days, old ways, old values back in my life right now. Brings to mind the words of the song: " . . . all things old, are new again."

Cynthia, That is a good one. How about this one I saw years ago.

Donna - this was news to me too!

Jane - I'm with you on this one.

Charita - we wouldn't want to be left behind ... no,no,no!

Carla - you make a good point. Our enemies (hate that word, by the way) WOULD take kindness for weakness.

Cindy - wise words.

Tish - as long as we can remember the old days, we will have them with us. Nobody can take that away.

Barbara - one of my favorites as well.

BLiz - that is one mistake that only happens once.

Charles - good one!

Lisa - I was at a 50 y/o b-day party yesterday. My friend doesn't look or ACT 50!

Craig - I love a church with a good marquee, letting us know what's what!
