Addendum to my blog about old age

I am reading a book (imagine that!!), a commentary on the 23 Psalm by David Roper, Psalm 23, the song of a passionate heart. After reading only a few pages I believe this author has been "reading my mail."

He says of David's Psalm, "Some say the psalm was one of David's first efforts, composed while he was still a youth. But I disagree. Though the poem enshrines the memories and metaphors of David's early years, it is the thoughts of someone nearer the end of life than the beginning. Only a mature mind can sort out the complexities of life and fix on the things that matter. Only an old soul knows that very few things are necessary--actually only one."

I believe that is exactly what I have been trying to say in my blog and to my loved ones. When all is said and done, there is ONLY ONE necessary thing, and that is our relationship to God Almighty, who humbled Himself to become human flesh, so He could truly plead our case.
