On Retiring

“It is enough, in the most positive sense of that clause. The Lord gives good gifts to his people, and he gives them abundantly. So what’s next? Don’t know. I’ve done some thinking about it, but I haven’t finalized my priorities yet.” - Dan Olinger

Well done for Pr. Olinger to recognize that he'd lost a step, and to enjoy life while he still can. Many older people fail to realize this, including my in-laws, and everybody suffers because the elders aren't ready to stop their businesses, and the children don't have the authority to handle things and do it for them.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
