QUOTE John Newton:
• “I am not what I could be,
• I am not what 1 should be,
• But I am not what I used to be"

People generally don't like change.
As Mark Twain famously said, "The only person who likes change is a wet baby." There's a lot of truth to that quote. Many times, we think of change as being a bad thing, and we older people have seen a lot of bad changes in our lifetimes.

The Road of Life
