As old as Jesus?

My Dad says my Mom is as old as dirt (how nice) and he says he is older than dirt (much nicer). Today, I am as old as Jesus. While it is not exactly known how old Jesus was when he died for us, I have heard it a few times that he was as old as I am today. Any guesses on that?

To celebrate, I went to Alivia's parent/teacher conferences to learn that she is shy (shocker) and a very good listener (really?!!). Now, I just want to go back to buy more books at the book fair.

Chris asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I told him I already had all I wanted. Oh, I guess I could use a new travel coffee cup for my cocoa! So, perhaps that is what I will open later as we eat the chocolate cake he baked me last night. And, as I rocked Asher in the rocking chair at "quiet time" I had to say...I do have all that I want.

So, here's to being as old as Jesus was when he died for us!

sniff, sniff, that is very heart touching. I think I'm as old as Jesus too! Is it 30-something... My mom and I have a joke that when you get to heaven, everybody is 30.
