'Honor your mother and your father that your days may be long', Jesus said when informed His mother and brothers were outside, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers", then gestured to all those with him. So I ask, who is my father, and who is my mother? I say the one(s) whom I honor that my days may be long. Thank you for sharing this, Adam We need to return to a society that values age as a badge of honor and cherish the wisdom of those who have so much to teach… and ample time to teach it.

Wow, sounds like a pretty wise person. He seems to understand that being a pastor is not a job, it's a calling and you fulfill it by living your life. On the same note, being a Christian is not something you do on Sunday, or just when people can see you in public, it's who you are 24/7. Anything less is hypocrisy. I remember <a>Matt Keller</a> told me once that the best anyone can ever do is to be who God created them to be, all the time, no matter what. “You are at work!”
