When I'm 80

So I walked into a McDonald's this morning, so I could get a cup of coffee (by the far the best regular brewed coffee). When I walked in I saw 8 men sitting there. So nosey me, I grabbed my cup, bought a newspaper and sat near to where they were sitting. They were having great conversations, that most 70/80 year old men have. What they are going to do with their busy day...What their wives are doing today...what vegetables they will grow this spring in there gardens...who's gonna when the College Football championship (Oklahoma)...and the infamous question that every older person talks about it is, when are we gonna get some rain? Then they did something, that most older circles probably don't do. Every single one of them, pulled out there Bible's and began to go through a Bible study right there in McDonald's. Then I heard each of the mention things they were going to pray through as a group. One guy said, "Pray for my granddaughter, she's a great gal, but she really needs to meet Jesus." One guy said, "Pray for great grandson, he's having a hard time learning in school." So I sat there listening to all there prayer requests like some type of idiot, and then I felt compelled that I should write a list of things that I wanna be like when I'm 80....so here's the list:

1. I wanna be a man of God. Men in the community to go to for wise, experienced, yet humble advise.

2. I wanna hang out with kids half of my age.

3. I want a slew of grandkids and kids.

4. I want to still be married to the woman of my dreams, and continuing to love her when I'm old. Take her to the movies, out on dates. Not just sit at home, but  continue to live life with her til I can.

5. I want people to see my older hot babe as a couple that's an example.

6. I want to have a tractor and a garden.

7. I want a pickup truck of at least 20 years old at that time. (that would make it a 2040 model) ha ha.

8. I want to go skydiving when I'm 80.

9. I want a normal fishing spot that I go to with somebody once a week.

10. I want to be in a bible study with some men, in which we've been coming to the same spot for 30 years.

11. I want to be involved more than just a "pew-filler" at a good local church.

12. I want to be more in love with Jesus as I am now.

13. I want to be able to cry.

14. I want to be able to cuss and no one cares cause I'm old. (Old people get away with that. They can say whatever they want and no one says anything...cause they're old)

15. I want a small house because I gave so much of my own money and things away.

That's as far as I went, but I encourage you to maybe write down, what you would like to be going on when your 80.

By the way, as I got up and left this morning, I walked over to those men, and said Thank You.
