“Getting Old is Not for Cowards.:

Billy Graham wrote a book called “Nearing Home” where he says essentially the same thing in the very 1st chapter.

Something like “if your gonna be old you better be tough.”

And s I can attest, as usual.....he was of course telling the truth.

When your grown kids say they like listening to "oldies" and you realize they're talking about music from your teens.

When you volunteer teaching kids in church, say things like "when you're older and have gray in your beard like me" and a kid innocently but correctly says that your beard isn't gray -- it's white.

If you remember Auburn's national championship before the 2010 one. (Iron Bowl was just a couple of days ago, so I had to throw that one in. LOL)
