I was involved in a conversation the other day when a coach was claiming that 'The Truth will set you free' came from an American coach.... I pointed her to John 8:32 'Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' Yes, Ronald, and there is a wealth of wisdom in the good book too.

Over the years they have discovered that many 'old' people that they know have lead remarkable lives: Climbed Everest with Hillary, Sang at the National Opera and recorded with the best, Members of the RA, the list is endless. Why is it we have difficulty in honouring old age in our society?
