Bruce is the new Abraham

My right knee is incredibly sore! We are scheduled to go skiing in a few weeks and my only concern has been my knees. I didn't want to blow one out. Having skied once, I remember the soreness that ensued. But paintball!
Chris is in from college so we've been doing some fun male bonding things. We saw a shoot em' up movie which was fun. No chick flicks for us! No sir, we're men! So, paintball seemed the natural Sunday afternoon progression in our expression of manhood. After all, I can't let 19 year olds have all the fun... right!
We had a blast! Tramping through the woods shooting at people without the worries of real danger (or bullets) makes a man feel... well, like a man! But at 47 years old and with some extra pounds, I don't move like I used to. I proved to be a slow, but large target. I have the whelps to prove it! It was, however, the daring slide into a bunker that now has me hoping that my knee will be well enough to ski!
I wonder what's on at the movies... even a chick flick sounds like plenty of adventure for today.

Genesis 24:1
And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
