As a culture we are the first generation to have the opportunity to have what some have termed a “second half.”  For most of the last 2000 years the average life span was, depending on the time period, 20-40 years.  In the early 20th century (100 years ago) it was 31.  The average life span in the 1960’s was in the 60’s and today most of us will likely live long into our 80’s.  What an extraordinary opportunity lies before us!  The question is, what are we going to do with those extra 20 years?  We are or have been successful in our professions.  We are or have successfully raised our children.  What will we do with these bonus years that God has seen fit to give to our generation?
