“THEY THAT WAIT UPON the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40: 31. The Book doesn’t say he has to be a doddering old shell because he is a Senior Citizen.

AS I hobble down this last mile of my journey I run across some puzzling situations. It used to be one of the techniques of runners to conserve some of their stamina for a final burst of energy as they neared the goal. That was fine, sometimes it worked, and that spurt of energy broke the ribbon. My problem is not like that; quite. I don’t plan to take my car and try to make this last mile in nothing flat. As far as I’m concerned they can just leave me at the post; I’m in no hurry. I do have a problem, however.

Statistics prove that the older driver has fewer accidents than the younger driver. Why then should people raise the coverage on these elder citizens or refuse to renew that coverage because of a certain age? Does the young driver experience this difficulty, even though he is a greater risk from an accident point of view? Why discriminate against the senior citizen, of which I am one? Remember, we’re growing in number. □
