The youth of our elders!

Every week I get an email of the ministry tool box of Rick Warren .  Rick is the Purpose Driven life guy — not the "New Earth: Awakening to your life’s purpose" (Eckhart Tolle) guy.  NOTE:  For those of you who are reading bestsellers — the previous sentence reflects that fact that two bestseller books in the last decade have focused on purposeful lives, both with totally different views.

Reading to the bottom of  "the ministry tool box" you find quotes.  Often they are mundane or on a topic of "non-interest".  But sometimes my funny bone is tickled.  Today’s email had such an effect on me.  Here’s the quote:

 "Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened." – Jennifer Yane.

Now, I think that goes for 16 year olds, and for 96 year olds.  I just think when  you are 96, it takes you longer to wonder what happened!!
