The Pennies in My Pocket

The other day I pulled the coins out of my pocket for no apparent reason and looked at the dates on the five pennies that were there. I thought of significant events of my life that happened in the year each penny was minted. They are:

1968 - I obtained my FAA mechanic certificate.

1974 - Rena and I married.

1975 - We attended Wycliffe Bible Translator's jungle camp training in Southern Mexico.

1976 - After Spanish language school, we arrived in Bolivia in August of that year.

1995 - Our Daughter, Jen, graduated from high school.


There you are, part of my life's story defined by the pennies in my pocket.
