Planking?

Getting old, or should I say, older, has it’s disadvantages. I don’t just mean  one can’t run as fast or jump as high, rather, something happens to the mind. At least it has in my case.

I don’t get the “saggy pants” or backward “ball cap” look (though I understand the reason a motorcycle riding dummy who is wearing only a ball cap turns its bill to the back). I don’t understand “planking,” or someone who keeps a cell phone glued to one’s head (although, remember, brain cancer is all in your mind). I don’t get why “texting” is a problem for drivers, while eating, shaving, reading newspapers and books, and the ever popular “make-up application” aren’t.

Maybe if I were 50 years younger I would “get it.” Then again, maybe not.  What I do understand is that we are becoming a Nation with totally different values than we were 50 years ago. And, we are going under – maybe for the third time (remember when people drowned that way?).

Only God can save this Country. I am not sure He is going to. He may be ready to take His people out of this World and start the “shut-down” process. Old man Camping (I say that with genuine fondness for old people) is talking about a date in October, isn’t it? He’s probably wrong again. . .probably.
