I don't think about being 109. I think it's wonderful and I keep asking, "How much longer?" I want to stay here. I want to see who the next president is going to be and what's going on in schools. I'm very curious. And I think that curiosity is one of the best qualities that you can have in your life -- be curious about EVERYTHING! Even when I wash dishes, I look at the plate and the bottom of the plate and I see where it came from. And I keep saying, "Oh how wonderful. Where is that place?" And, so, how can you get old when your mind is working? You can't get old. And it's so wonderful to wish that on all the people in the world. They don't need to feel sad. They don't have to hurt. They can know who God is. They can say a prayer once in awhile. And I think even when you say, "God, help me," I think that happens. So, that's my sermon for the day and I'm going to take up the collection. Thank you God for that. And I think possibly that somebody in Denmark might hear it. Wouldn't that be interesting? To see if one of my relatives would hear it? Well, I can't imagine it. But thank you for being me and living so long and not being selfish. There was a time in life when I think that I was selfish. That was in high school. You always have to fight to be the star, you know. But outside of that, it's been a heavenly life. And all I can say is thank you God. Amen.
