Beautifully stated. Thomas Paine hit the nail on the head for sure. "SACRED" is a word that seems to be missing in the vocabulary of so many people these days. Old age for many to-day is not what it should be. Money for most has been the root of all evil.

It's funny, last Saturday I bumped into a stranger who happened to be a minister in his seventies - we got talking about retirement - he said nowhere in the bible does the word "RETIREMENT" exist. He also said when people ask him what he does - he replies " I work for a Jewish Carpenter!"
