Yesterday I told my wife that I was going to unthaw something, and she said if you unthaw something you would refreeze it!

I had to stop and think about that because I have said unthaw forever,  but if you thaw out something then unthaw it would be refreezing right?

Gets confusing in my old age, but my wife and kids love to pick on me and it seems like its getting easy for them lately, theres so many things to pick on me about!

I use to be so suave and cool, now I use suave to wash my hair and I”m cold all the time!

But at least I still have hair and only need one kind of shampoo, when our daughter Steph comes home to visit, she brings an entire suitcase full of just hair products, she lines them up on the tub and I have to maneuver around and over them in order to take a shower.

Its like going through a mine field,  I usually hit one and it goes flying. But I refuse to pick it up, it”s the principle of it.

But getting older, more daffy and less graceful is a part of life, so is getting sick.

Tonight I went to visit my dad in the hospital, he had a cancerous tumor in his blatter that had to be removed.

He”s 82 and this was the first time in his life he had ever been in a hospital or ever had surgery, he has always been a very healthy and tough guy.

I could tell he was uncomfortable having me, my sister and niece being there seeing him in that condition and to tell you the truth, I kind of got choked up seeing him that way and it made me realize that I won”t have him here on earth for too many more years.

I love my dad but we have never been real close and when he does go to be with the Lord, there will be many things about him that I never knew.

Oh I know the main things, that he”s saved, has kids and a wife and I know his work history, but what about who he really was?

I preached during all the years my kids grew up and they heard me retell stories of my life and they probably know a great deal about me, at least about the things I”ve done.

My kids once said they thought we must be in witness protection because of all the times we moved, but then again, if they knew we were, it wouldn”t be much of a protection, would it?

But that was just kid stuff.

But do they really know how I think? My struggles? My worries?  What I”m proud of?

Those are the things I”ll never know about my dad and I guess the reality is my kids won”t know those things about me either.

There”s some things that we never share with anyone about the real us.

But there is one who does know us better than we know ourselves and thats Jesus, he knows everything about what makes me tick.

I”ve lived with Sal over 34 years and I know her pretty well, but yet there are things about how she thinks that I”ll never know, those deep things that she only shares with God.

I use to think you can never know your wife completely just because she is a woman! And God created woman to be a mystery to us men and even though God created them, even he can”t figure out how they work!!!!

But the fact is, he does understand them, and we could too, if we told everything there is to tell to each other, but we don”t,  and never will, because there are things that we only share with Christ.

And thats alright, because God has to know us completely.

He”s the one who forgives us of our sin, so therefore he has to know every detail of our lives.

I know I will never know everything there is to know about my wife or kids and them about me, but thats alright, what is important is that our Lord knows us.

And because he knows us, we can talk to him about our deepest thoughts and cares.
