I too choose to grow old with grace, to the extent that I have control over the process, and to treasure every moment given to me to share with family and friends.

"When that nurse brings the pill, I'm going to act as though she's dishing out ambrosia."<br /><br />This coming Sunday is the last in my "second" retirement from parish ministry. I have lots of things that I have not had time to do and am looking forward to exploring. But I have loved church ministry and I am sad to leave.
