MY SON

A week ago I was out at DeKalb High School for our technical rehearsal on Saturday night. It was important we all walked through everything we would do on that Sunday morning. Of course, whenever an outside group rents the school, we are required to pay the custodian on duty. As I was walking out I thanked him for his time.

He had noticed my name slide up on the screen and noticed my name was Diehl. So, he asked me if I had a son named Tom. Tom is my brother, not my son. That cut me to the quick. How old do I look anyway?

I got a kick out of sharing that story with several people over the weekend. Anita says I should shave my white beard and then I’d look 15 years younger. What do you think of that idea? I need some help defending myself.

Just find the humor. Funny. I knew BJ’s little brother (10 years younger) before I met BJ. When I met BJ I thought he was Biff’s Dad for a second. I was just a kid and BJ sure looked like a man to me! LOL
Pastor, we all love you and Anita just the way you are.

I think that is very funny. I have met you and Tom and I would say you look close to the same age. Perhaps God is just checking in with you to make sure you still have a sense of humor.

I haven’t seen you for a while, Pastor Diehl, so I didn’t know you had a white beard. Now you’ve ruined my picture I still have of you being young… maybe I should ask, did you have to be wheeled up to the stage? LOL

No-don’t shave the beard! I find that the older I get, the worse judge of age I am on someone else. Everyone younger than me seems SO young, and those older than me just don’t seem that old anymore. It’s all relative…..
There’s only one alternative to aging…..

Tom shaves his white beard during the summer and looks much younger. We signed with a new insurance company last week and were informed that we get a better rate because we are “mature”!! That’s a nice way of saying, “You’re older than dirt!” There’s no running from it! We just have to accept it!
