I just turned 50. It’s gone incredibly fast. 20 years ago I was 30. 20 years from now I’ll be 70. Man……
I’m about to be 57.
20 years ago seems like 5 years ago.
20 years from now I’ll be 76.
It’s a scary thought..
Last year I received a word that I would die this year. Maybe I misunderstood it. But "The days of our years are threescore and ten; and if by reason of strength they be four score years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow, and we fly away...So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." (Psalm 90:20-11)

So that's what I do - try to grow in the application of wisdom. For me that means not succumbing to the temptation to despair but to vigorously invest emotionally and in deed in my family, in Scripture, in prayer. It doesn't happen automatically for me. I have to be deliberate and intentional about it.
We went to a birthday party recently For a man who had just turned 70. Chris took me aside and says in 20 years I’ll be the same age as him. and I said that’s nothing. in 22 years i’ll be 100. how about them apples.
