Boomers on our journey with Jesus
We all from Millennials to Boomers have a desire to “make a difference” in the world”
As Zig Ziglar says “The trail is long, and we won’t arrive at our destination in this life. Still, we’re on the journey with Jesus for the greatest thrill of our lives.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Proverbs 3:3-6 English Standard Version (ESV)
It takes a “Team” to accomplish much.

Interview of Pastor Stuart Briscoe: His new book: Improving with Age.
Bloom where you are planted. Pastor Briscoe states, “The church may have put old folks out to grass, but God hasn’t! Graze where you’re parked: bloom where you’re planted: play the hand you’re dealt.”
Praise For Improving With Age
God has numbered our days and we’re still here because His purpose for us is not finished (Eph2:10). Stuart and Jill’s book Improving with Age will not only help you make the most of what’s left, it will make you want to hear God’s words, ‘Well done, My good and faithful servant.’ -Kay Arthur. Cofounder Precept Ministries International. Author teacher…and great admirer of Stuart and Jill.
Improving with Age is a timely reminder that t hose of us who are growing older are desperately needed in our families, our churches and society at large. Those w ho are retired from their vocations must realize that God has a future for them, not just in heaven but also on earth, even as they anticipate the challenges of old age…I hope many thousands read these pages and find that old age can be welcomed, knowing that God has meaningful tasks for us to do- Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer. Senior Pastor of The Moody Church, Chicago.
A few quotes from Improving With Age. God’s Plan for Getting Older and Better.
We must not fail to encourage and equip our aging saints to invest their mature years in vigorous ministries reaching out to their contemporaries who, after all, are the ones closest to eternity!
The church may have put old folks out to grass, but God hasn’t! Graze where you’re parked; bloom where you’re planted; play the hand you’re dealt.
A few personal notes from Jill
Call a Christian friend to talk
Take a walk outside in God’s creation and worship Him.
Listen to some worship music
Ask God to give you a waking thought each morning.
Do you know of someone who is sick in the hospital or worried about his or her health or about aging? Perhaps sending that person a card with a summary of your thoughts about renewal would encourage him or her.
