50th Reunion Revelations

by Karen Mains

My 50th High School Class Reunion was full of all sorts of revelations:

• It helps that I had dropped 12 pounds, let my hair go white and found a new spiky hairdo. Nothing like physical confidence to help you face a crowd!
• Old friends are important. They have often accomplished surprising and amazing enterprises.
• Age, no matter what anyone says, is an huge advantage.
• Old boy friends remember their first loves fondly.
• Incarnational witness, backed with prayer, makes a huge difference in the world, even when we don’t know what is happening.
• Don’t avoid reunion events. Go and work the floor like you are campaigning. Don’t be afraid of asking the question, “What has your spiritual journey been like?” (People want to tell you!)
