"Retirement" is a creation of the state. Before the establishment of government social security, no one would have thought about a period of idle leisure while waiting to die. In a free society, elderly people would continue to engage themselves in various professional and non-professional activities throughout their lives.
Amen and Amen
ReplyDeleteI know it's cliche but there is no word of any retirement in the Bible (other than becoming asleep with our fathers which we all will).
I love old Caleb, "give me that mountain" at 80 yrs old. Moses dissapointed that he didn't get to cross over and kick some x--tite pagan butt in the promised land.
I am a few days away from 62 yrs old. I'm more on fire and determined than ever before. If Jesus allows me to stay I will be more radical than this in 20 years.
There is no retirement. And, yes, I won't even retire even though according US law I could start taking Social Security in a few days.
WHY?
I'm able to work, and like to work. Why quit now?
