That is pretty neat to experience. We have the day off for his memorial.

Speaking of....
Di and I went out to dinner last night for her birthday. After dinner we went for a little stroll, and on the way back we walked back through the little plaza where the restaurant was. One the side was a little working replica of the Liberty Bell with a little dedication plaque by it. It was dedicated by President Gerald Ford in July of 1976. The plaza is called Liberty Plaza. I thought that the timing of us going there at that time was perfect.
Anyhow, I felt humbled.
A great man we have lost on Earth, but I can't wait to meet him when I get up there.

I have to be careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
