old guys

Tom Watson tied for first in the British Open Golf Tourament and lost in a play-off at 59. Good for the old guy! As one, it is good to see that life can be lived beyond what society thinks is good. Both Moses and Abraham accomplished much in their "old" age. Now I know that some people will go quietly into old age and others will go kicking and screaming into old age. Either way, accept the fact that we are getting older and enjoy it. Ignore what the youth culture thinks about it. Growing up, we were told never to trust anyone over 30. Those people are now over 60 - maybe we should listen to their advice because they really haven't contributed much to the health of society.

The more one enjoys life, even with its difficulties, the more we are blessed by life through God in Christ. He has blessed us with life and we should be thankful for it.
