REFLECTIONS ON FAITH AND
LIFE FOR THE YEARS OF WINTER…
Children say, much of the
time, “When I grow up…”
There is just so much to
do that looks like fun, but we can’t do it until we are grown up, until we are old
enough.
I mentioned in the CIW for
12-30-19, titled “Ockham’s Garage Door,” that I had seen my friend, Glenn,
close his garage door by poking only one spot on the electronic pad, which gave
me the knowledge of how to close my absent neighbor’s garage door for her. But
when I picked him up for coffee last R, I was horrified. He poked TWICE. If I
had seen correctly what he did, I would never have thought I could close our
absent neighbor’s door, because I would not have been able to guess the two
digit code, and so would not even try, and it would still be standing open
while she is gone, with bears and looters in and out in a steady stream.
Glenn said, “Oh, no, you
were right. It takes only one poke, on that Enter button, but I usually miss
the button on the first try.”
When I grow up…I want to
be an old person. It looks like it’s so much fun to be old. It’s not so much
that they have fun, although that’s true, but they ARE fun.
