Well I turned 50 on Friday. Odd, I don't feel any different. Turns out 50 is just a number and the old saying, "Your as old as you feel" must have some validity. I did hear a funny comment about old age the other day. I goes like this, "The only problem with old age is that it doesn't last!"
Here is a shot of me on our tennis court getting ready to hit a wicked forehand. I was playing with Lochlan so it must not have been too wicked! (thanks Sloane for taking the pic)
They reorganized our stake presidency today and I am glad to report I am still the Bishop of the best ward in the church (Cibola Ward). I greatly respect our new stake presidency and know they are the men the Lord would have lead our stake at this time. That was impressed upon me quite deeply when their names were presented.
Tonight I had the opportunity to participate in conferring the Melchezidek priesthood on two of the young men in our priest quorum. Great to see them both take this next step prior to them going off to college next week.
I have been reading several blogs by missionary couples and find them quite interesting. The couples I have been following are serving in Peru, Ecuador and Korea. They are all quite inspiring. Makes me itch to get ready and go.
I sure love my daughter Lochlan. She is the epitome of kind (so long as you can scratch her back for the complete 2 hours of stake conference).
