i was catching up on news with a friend of mine from my old hall - a few of the elders have stepped down and some have retired.. these are men who were in their 30's during the 1980's when i was very young - now they are retiring or facing retirement.. i sometimes wonder how they feel after working all those years only to wake up and realize that their working lives are over.. do they ask themselves: what's happened?
where's armaggedon?
the day of reckoning has come - the elders who were 30 in 1980 are now 60 years old.
Lets not forget that our elders also have to work to support their families as well as leading their 'flock'. The hours they put in are phenominal. Also as we near the end of days there are added pressures from Satan and his followers. We should support them as much as we can.
I must say that the elders in our congregation are all looking fine and healthy, even in spite of advancing years.

if you do have it i would be very happy to get a copy.
Can anyone tell me if there is still a copy anywhere of Steven Byington's bible to download, please? I have tried all over the net and find it nearly impossible. To buy it is impossible for me at these prices!
