Well, my birthday is tomorrow.  It is the last one before meeting a major milestone.   I am not one who is fearful about getting older.  It is just another year closer to meeting Jesus face to face.  So I do not need to worry about one day out of the year changing my number.  I just keep daily serving God and do not fret about one day over the next.  So getting older is no big deal.  However, getting old is.  Getting old implies that you are more set in your ways and less likely to move or grow.  Getting old means not getting new or renewed.  Getting old is something we all need to avoid doing at all cost.  I see a big difference from getting older (aging) and getting old (stubborn/set in our ways).

So as we get older, let’s prevent ourselves from getting old.
