Anniversaries

Tonight we had dinner with friends celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary.  Wow.... 27 years.  That is a long time.   John and I celebrate our 15th this month and I think that is a long time.  I think it is funny that we as humans document moments in time like this.  How our lives are so structured into centuries, decades, years and months.  We go about our lives with this big checklist.  27 years married - check.  40 years old - check.  7 years with the company - check.  How different would it be if we didn't have these markers.  We must need them.  We must want to have this structure.  I guess God wants us to climb each rung of the ladder to get to heaven so we know how far we've come.
