Experience Got Him Here

All the villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all the villagers gathered, but only one boy brought an umbrella. That’s Faith.
When you throw babies into the air, they laugh because they know you will catch them. That’s Trust.
Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning, but still we set the alarm to wake up. That’s Hope.
We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future. That’s Confidence.
We see the world suffering, but still we get married and have children. That’s Love.
On an old man’s shirt was printed, “I Am Not 80 Years Old, I Am Sweet 16 with 64 Years of Experience.” That’s Attitude.
Live your life with Faith, Trust, Hope, Confidence, Love, and Attitude. Laugh, wake up, plan, help the suffering, and embrace your experience — which will remind you to bring your umbrella.

How do you think he got to be an old man?!

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
