“I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.” ~ Joshua 14:11 (NIV) ~ AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE (I hope) Feeling a little nostalgic this week, I looked back at the blog I wrote last time my birthday fell on a Sunday, wondering what God was saying to me that day. I thought I might share it again with you. (I’m sure you will all remember it as well as I did!) So here is my blog for February 4, 2018: It happened two weeks ago, all on the same day. In our 6:30 a.m. Men’s Fraternity group we were challenged — since we are all over 50 — to dream 2nd half dreams. I was encouraged by that. I came to my office confident that I still have many productive years ahead. But then, a millennial blogger I follow wrote that “Pastors are too Old!” I received a card from the Neptune Society inviting me to use their services — threw it away — and went out for a run. I hurt my back within the first 5 minutes of running! Since then, one of my grandsons was looking at the wedding photo of Barbara and I, and he does not believe it is me because the guy in the picture has dark hair and Papa’s hair isn’t dark. Actually, it mostly just isn’t! Since that day, I read Dr. Charles Stanley’s comment that at 85-years-old he has no plans to retire — as he stated, “retirement isn’t biblical.” I was once again encouraged!

Maybe you’ve noticed that I never miss an opportunity to point out when someone a little older than the rest does something noteworthy. I do this because again and again I hear aging people talk as if their options are fewer now than they used to be. It might be true to some extent; maybe the job market isn’t as bright for a 50-year-old as it is for 25-year-old. But don’t let yourself believe that you’re running out of opportunities, and don’t use it as an excuse to slow down. continued
