My knees are shot and my past is gaining on me. At 53, it's time to admit defeat -- and start living again.
  • Ecclesiastes chapters 1-6, 9, 11, 12

    Our group of seven met some days ago and covered this selection from the Book of Ecclesiastes. In the discussion two men, the youngest (28) and the oldest (72), had the most to say. Only they brought their extensive typed notes. No one else had gone to the trouble.

    Their questions were probing and therefore enlightening for the rest of us. Both are polite individuals and teachers by profession. At discussion's end with faces lit up, their conversation continued as they exited the room.

    As I turned out the lights, my one thought was, truly they are teachers.
