As Most Of You Know, I've Called It Quits... 04.01.24

As most know by now I have called it quits , no longer employed by the same company . It's been 40 years in the making and it's about time to rest for a little bit . Thanks to Tina's dad he helped me get the job that I've had for the last 40 years . Im not gonna lie and say it was an easy road because there were some rough times . So being the curious self I am , I thought about what is the significance of 40 years . I know about Moses and David , Solomon and King Saul and what was special about 40 years for them . What I didn't know is 40 years also represents a period of trial or testing or probation . I guess you could say I've been through those . Also the number 40 in the Bible according to google that it brings to mind qualities such as , Repentance , Newness , Preparation , Self examination , Transformation , Task fulfillment , escape from bondage or slavery , Nourishment and  Personal fulfillment . One thing I know is I'm blessed to be able to retire thanks to my beautiful wife . I think I did the easy parts and she's been the anchor . I thank God for her and my kids, family and church . They are what is really important . Well it's bout time to do some of my house husband duties and clean up . Thanks to everyone that congratulated me . I am truly blessed .
