Never the Helpless Victim

I can't believe I'm getting this old! My mind feels like 38, but the body qualifies for retirement next year! Why is it that time seems to go by more quickly the older one gets? I was reminded of this phenomenon in reading my good friend Don Johnson's Jibstay reflection on his son's 28th birthday and his thinking it was only yesterday he was 28. It's about attitude - you choose how to respond to life's circumstances, which interestingly enough is one of those attributes of being created in God's image. He has omnipotent will - and has given us a measure of individual will as a dim reflection of his awesome power to choose. What a gift. We never are the helpless victim as life can take from us everything we have - except our ability to choose how to respond.
