    Like it or not, all of us grow older...all of us age. Some enjoy joking about aging....but deep down inside growing old is something many dread....and fear.....and are willing to do anything to avoid.

I hardly ever read my Bible or anything else that might stimulate my spirituality. I always seem to be unhappy with the ...read more
