1. Three Score Years and Ten.

Psalm 90:10-12 KJV. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; And if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, Yet is their strength labour and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.


And so it is. As a man who will have his 80th birthday in a few weeks, I'm more than aware that my days are numbered. And so it goes. Recognizing the limits of our lives is an important step for people to take.

Joe Biden, now 82, knows that, no doubt. He is nothing if not a sensible man. He does not plan to live forever, I'm sure. When you get to 80, you're going to get bad news from some doctor at some point. No sense stressing about it. It is simply the way of things.

May we all live as long as we can, and no longer.
