 "Each of us is given the exact same amount of seconds, minutes and hours per day as anyone else. The difference is how we redeem [them]. … You cannot count your days, but you can make your days count.”   Billy Graham

As we finish this "Raising The Standard" series, we are stopping at an important category...and one that the greater society can often neglect.  The retirement years, the graying and elderly years; these are important years to see Christ modeled and displayed.  For a man in this period of life, he must not assume his experiences do not matter.  We need to hear about successes, mistakes and all.  He should never just "hang it up" or live out the rest of his days on the golf course.  And he should realize how he ends serves as an example to those around him.  To see a godly man not compromise and not water down his faith is an amazing thing.  To see him finish and pass onto eternity is a testimony to what God has done.
