The Age Rage

Psalm 90:10 The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.

‎50% of all baby boomers will live healthy lives beyond 100. So argues antiaging physician and best-selling author... http://t.co/9JIaJBUo

What’s with all the hype about living longer? It’s the quality of life that matters, not the quantity of years. With all the troubles we have living lives that produce fruit for the kingdom as it is, it seems if we have a world of people living an additional 20 plus years, it will mostly be filled with complaining, worrying, stress, suffering and sadness. This may sound like I am a pessimist, cynic, downer, (or like the writer of Psalm 90 which is attributed to Moses)but it is not like most people have figured out the key to happiness in their first four score years. Do people think they will figure it out and do I think they will much more readily accept the Way, the Truth, and the Life in their elongated lives? Well, if a rich man can get through an eye of a needle, I guess it's not up to me to say "no way."
