When we are in the position to meet and influence others where time and eternity intersect, we must be prepared, like Paul, to teach that “to live is Christ.”

When we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, we enjoy a familial bond with other Christians that cannot be severed. Because of their shared faith, Paul pleaded with Philemon to forgive and welcome back his runaway slave Onesimus.

(Philemon 17-25)

Dear Friend,

“O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.” – Psalm 71:17

They say, “you’re only as old as you feel.” In truth, we are as old as the calendar declares. I have been pondering this matter since turning 65 in May. It’s the recollection of the “penny ticket” that has set me thinking in this way.
