Bible Note: Actually, Ed, I won't turn 70 until March 4 but have begun to refer to it now in an effort to cushion the shock of being three score and ten. When from the King James Bible I read 1 Kings 1:1, "Now King David was old and stricken in years" and glance at the note in the margin that tells me he was seventy years old, I recognize that no longer was King David the young shepherd boy he once was and neither am I the young lad who once ran barefoot up and down the red clay hills of north Georgia. But thanks be to God for the long and full life that I have been blessed to lead thus far: so many joys, so many blessings, so dear a wife and children, so many faithful friends, and above all, so unspeakably great a Friend in Jesus, who gave me the greatest gift of all, eternal life, because He loved me so much that He willingly went to the cross to die for my sins. And for yours, Ed. And for all who come to Him in faith and put their trust in Him as Lord and Savior of their lives. Alleluia! Praise to the Lamb! --Hank |
