Give thanks to the Lord God for the blessings we have been given. The fact that we have lived in this time of history in the time frame of the world.

Wish I had looked that good when I turned 50. And just like a Hydrostream I could probably use a new core.

I believe it, mr fun. I'll be 70 in October, still farm hard with my son, and play in the river with the boats at every chance. And yes, Dave, I DO give thanks to God for my great health and life's blessings. I drowned at Clark's Hill Lake last August 29, after the Trump boat rally, due to an accident on a two story water slide. Was on the bottom, unconscious, over 8 minutes, rescued, given mouth-to-mouth, and revived. Heart stopped again on the boat ride across the lake to the ambulance, and was revived again. Contrary to all clinical and medical data and expectations, I was 100%+ recovered within weeks. Stayed on a ventilator for about two weeks, fighting terrible lung infections from the polluted lake water, and now have probably better lung capacity than before, due to exercise daily, and absolutely no brain damage from oxygen deprivation. There is only one explanation for that ........... the Almighty!

God is gracious, life is good!
