I took a Drama class in High School, only because the Principal came to our Advanced Speech class and asked for Volunteers to switch to the Drama class while looking straight at me. The Drama teacher, Mr. Wyman, told us to observe people so we\u2019d know how to portray them when we were assigned their part in a play. He especially spoke of elderly people. \u201cWatch how long it takes them to sit down and get up\u201d he said. He continued, \u201cObserve how slowly they move at times.\u201d I never played the part of an elderly person until recently and only now because I am getting elderly. It takes longer to sit down and longer to get up. I move slower at times. The elderly lady I helped step off a curb recently turned out to be my wife. A friend advised me that if I woke up some morning and nothing ached, to check the obituaries. Yet the Bible declares, \u201cWisdom is with aged men, and with length of days, understanding\u201d (Job 12:12). Aging is a challenge and takes all the \u201cwisdom\u201d that accompanies it and for sure, has its own drama inherent within. So, be kind to older people. If you live long enough, you\u2019ll be one yourself. And whatever your age, follow another of Mr. Wyman\u2019s sayings and \u201cPlay your part well today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pray with me this week for the following global concerns:
\n\u2022 Pray for a new church start, Ekklesia Church on Vancouver Island, Canada. They are already averaging 60-70 on Sundays. I will be worshipping with them next Sunday.
\n\u2022 Pray for a Community Group that meets on Sunday afternoons in Bratislava, Slovakia. There were 22 in attendance last week!
\n\u2022 Pray for Mary as she studies Hebrew to add to her Russian in order to minister to Russians in Israel.
\n\u2022 Pray for the beginning of the spring semester this week at the Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
