I spent the day with an 82 year old, retired pastor & professor.
A well-respected, important figure in the Christian Academy, who is active in life and a prolific writer to this day.
I am half his age.
The sum total of my life - childhood, teen years, college, graduate work, first jobs, marriage, child-rearing, trying to establish myself professionally - all so much work - is just half of all the life that might be before me.
A delightful thought.
I have so much more time to live - so many more people to meet - so much more to encounter!
