- You’re a year older but you’re changing too. The worst thing ISN’T aging, it’s staying exactly the same with no growth or advance.
- The longer you live, the less scoops of coffee you need in your coffeemaker.
- Partnership is the key to success in life. There are five key partners you need 1) the Lord 2) Your spouse 3) your workmates 4) the Church 5) your family
- 54 Years Teaches:
- Getting out of debt causes instantaneous and unexpected peace.
- The majority of people bemoan the aging process. They don't realize this is both natural and the will of God. It is called maturity.
- You can't help people when you're dead in the grave. ⚰️ Life is not about me, it's about my mission. It's about stewardship. What I can give.
- I am not the same man as I was at 27, thank God. I have more perspective now, gladly trading it for youthfulness.
- Being young and poor doesn't last if you work hard, live simple, and trust God. I have more spendable money now than I ever have.
- Looking ahead a few years are my 60's. Grandkids, moving, family changes, body changes, retirement, and making a difference in everyone I meet.
