The roller coaster in the ocean that all of you saw-my kids and I had ridden it many times. The Bible says that ‘heaven and earth will pass away…’ A year ago I celebrated my 50th by jumping into the ocean (in January!) right next to that pier. I am sure most of you are feeling the effects of aging, except for a couple of our classmates who somehow compete in triathlons (I haven’t figured out how they do that). I broke my leg in August playing ultimate frisbee, had surgery, and am slowly getting back to playing flag football and frisbee with teenagers. One of these days I’ll have to call it quits…but not yet.”
