Don't buy society's lie to work hard, retire, and coast to the end of life's trail. This couldn't be further from Biblical truth. Too many men have put their face to the grindstone only to be forgotten on their tombstone. Cherish your life. You only have one. Enjoy the scenic views on your journey. Live at a pace that allows you capture the essence of life and finish strong.

If done right a man's greatest years are his final years, when he can enjoy the benefits of wisdom gained over a lifetime ascent up the mountain of God. It's in his twilight that a man's voice echoes most powerfully to the younger generations. Proverbs 17:6 reminds us of the truth that, "Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children." If you've passed the baton, take it back. Finish your life strong.
