I look back on my life and I've been working since I was old enough to walk and talk. I know many of you laugh at this comment, but it's true. I grew up on a family farm in central Georgia and all members had "chores" as soon as they were able to walk, communicate, and understand. Assigned chores at a young age were performed under close supervision of an adult but as I grew older, more responsibility was put on my plate. I remember plowing fields with a tractor after school when I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. I would have to stand on the tractor running board and use all my weight to engage the clutch and/or brake. Yes, I did damage a fence once or twice as I learned.
On May 15, 2019 at 63 years of age, I work my last day as a paid civil servant of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission and I move on to the final chapter of my life. Some call it retirement. I call it a new adventure. As my new adventure card above indicates, I will be doing many things but they will likely fall into one of the 5 categories shown on the card; Explorer, Inventor, Artist, Craftsman, and Sower of Seed (2 Corinthians 9:6-15 NIV).
I look forward to continuing to share my new life adventures here at https://www.fairclothcove.com
Thanks be to God.
