For years an elder bugged me about "retiring" from my job so I could devote more time to the ministry. I just laughed at him...I was in my mid to late 30s.
At the last memorial I went to, this same elder asked me how the economy was affecting my job. He was leading up to his favorite discussion of retiring to deveote more time blah blah blah. I just told him I was planning on working till I died, thus cutting that idea off and dropping the little hint that I no longer thought of the end coming anytime soon.
