Jesus' example in all things

Print Article

While I agree with the premise of Tim Schultz's article on middle age ("Resurrection for the Second Half of Life," Sept. 15) and keeping your dreams alive, I couldn’t help but think to myself: I hope when we reach that point and beyond we will be more concerned with becoming less judgmental, giving more forgiveness, lending encouragement, praying for those in need—giving pragmatic help when we can—becoming more peaceful and less argumentative, showing love to our neighbors, visiting the sick, praying for the unity of the Spirit and striving to follow the example of Jesus in all things.
