Today is Bob's 79th birthday! Where has the time gone? Time passing or not, he's still a feisty stinker. In his thank you note to Mark's family for sending him money, he said he thought he'd use it for a lap dance! Here's hoping you understand his sense of humor.
Even after almost 51 years of marriage, he still makes me laugh. Sometimes it's an embarrassed laugh. Like the first Sunday we came to Shiloh. Shiloh Tabernacle is not contemporary by any stretch of the imagination. We still sing hymns and use the Kind James Bible. Nothing wrong with that and I'm not complaining. It's just not contemporary. And, while they have a wonderful sense of humor, it doesn't always go along with Bob's.
That Sunday morning almost eleven years ago, there was a baby dedication. The pastor began it with, "It wasn't too many years ago this young couple stood before me and said 'I do'."
Smart Aleck Bob whispered, "They did." Trouble is, the WHOLE church heard him! Everyone laughed except the pastor. He didn't hear what made everyone laugh and I'm not about to tell him!
Bob rather sheepishly remarked on the way home that he really only intended that comment for me. So, no, his sense of humor doesn't always go along the straight and narrow. Guess it's because he didn't come to the straight and narrow until he was 52.
But, he is on the straight and narrow, risque sense of humor or not. His love for the Lord cannot be doubted. I guess his sense of humor is open to question-at times.
Regardless, a very happy birthday to the man I love and have loved for 51 years.
