A Super Senior Saint
Jerry Watts
Joshua 14:6-15
In Pensacola, we had about 60-80 senior gather once every month for food and fun. One of the programs featured a local TV celebrity and her 'partners in business.' They were opening a new 'facility' in town targeting Seniors and wanted our group to know about it. The business included, independent living houses to assisted living apartments to skilled nursing room to doctor care wings - and THEN - it even was developing a cemetery in the back of the property.

How would you know when you found it?'' Wanda said, ''That's your problem, David. Everything has to make sense to you!''
So there was this Sr Adult female business executive who was late for a meeting. She is going 65 on a street where the speed limit is 40. A cop pulls her over and says ''ma'am, can I please see your license?'' She says ''I'm sorry, officer, but I got it revoked two years ago for drunk driving.'' His brow furrows and he straightens up. ''Well, can I please see the registration of your car?'' She say ...
