Old age is . . . a lot of crossed off names in an address book.

No, there's not a lot to envy about the old days. But something has been lost.

Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.

Was lost but now I'm found... God predestined to save His lost; not us freely choosing Christ.. Salvation freedom is from God not ourselves.
